Startup Village Chairman Sanjay Vijayakumar, who played a key role in setting up technology business incubator on the PPP model in Kerala, has been appointed an Advisor to the Rajasthan government's Startup Council to create a startup ecosystem in the western state.
The Startup Council, headed by the Rajasthan Chief Minister comprises a Member Secretary, nine members and eleven eminent experts from the industry.
Vijayakumar, 32, has been appointed in his capacity as an eminent expert of the Startup Council, whose mandate is to play "an advisory role and act as a think tank for strengthening the startup ecosystem" in the state, according to a release here.
"The decision of the Rajasthan government to create a startup ecosystem is a growing affirmation of the expanding footprints of startup culture in the country."
"It is also a validation of the pioneering role of Startup Village which is fast shaping up as a national player with a strong focus on student entrepreneurship and culture of innovation," Vijayakumar, who is Startup Advisor to the Kerala and Andhra Pradesh governments, said.
The operations of the real estate property business in
India are largely traditional and quite outmoded. It still revolves around brokers or agents who have to be approached locally for selling, buying or renting the property. This practice obviously has numerous limitations since most brokers are typically confined to their geographical area (towns/cities) of operations and the transparent collaborative link between brokers of different cities is minimal.
In developed countries like US, Australia and European countries, the internet technology platforms have been successfully used by brokers or agents to list their properties in suitable platforms which help them get better exposure of the properties.
The characteristic details of the property are also inserted by the brokers (along with photographs as well) which makes it easier for the interested buyer. The seller has the advantage of getting widespread exposure to get the right price and the buyers can shortlist the options for best matching properties using price or location criteria in different city.
According to Mr. Attarde, the encouraging response that
the company has received from the real estate market is elating. The brokers and agents have realized the benefits that can be achieved from transparent and collaborative approach using the latest technologies. The company expects to rope in many new members into its fold in near future from different cities of the country and add new properties here.
