With the NDA led government at center, laying focus on housing for the urban poor and middle class the company sees huge potential and has prepared an aggressive road map to grow through acquisitions and organically. The company is in the process of raising funds for the venture and is seeing lot of interest from the investor community. The company will exclusively focus on providing mortgage solutions to the financially excluded and informal income earners in urban India.
