PropTiger, Housing merger on cards

In September last year, both Housing and PropTiger got into a revenue-sharing agreement

PropTiger, the online real estate listing and brokerage portal, is close to acquiring rival Housing.com, which is funded by Softbank in an all-stock deal, said people familiar with the deal.

Housing.com, founded by Rahul Yadav, shot to fame with a $90 million bet made by Nikesh Arora of Softbank in 2014, but failed to match expectations after Yadav squandered money and fought with investors and employees.
