PricePoint is primarily for Individuals looking to buy a new property and sellers of resale-properties.

“We have grown organically due to an overwhelming response from the customers. We areseed funded to the tune of INR 2.5 crore by Info-edge, who have also invested in Naukri, 99acres, Jeevansathi, Zomato, etc. We are excited to launch PricePoint and intend to enhance this engine over the next 6 to 9 months with machine learning capabilities and expand up to 3000 projects, including gated communities and plots. Our database is updated every quarter which ensures that users have access to information that is up to date and precise. This product will further help us in driving our zealous vision towards ‘empowering the buyer.” - Adds Mr. Sudeep Anandapuram, Co-founder & CEO of Zippserv.

“We at Zippserv wish to remove any asymmetry in information associated with property investment. When it comes to property transactions, both the buyer and seller alike have the same intrinsic problem of reaching a ‘correct price’ for a transaction. Sellers want to price it right, but unfortunately have no reliable source to provide this information as the information provided by brokers and property portals are not usually very reliable. On the other hand, buyers don’t want to overpay. PricePoint bridges this trust deficit and safeguards the buyer’s interest.The experience of PricePoint can be compared to that of a stock market where one can access the stock prices of the most recently traded stocks at any given time.” - Adds Mr. Debashish Hota, Co-founder & COO with Zippserv.

Today, property pricing information is very opaque and every property portal brings in pricing information either from a seller’s perspective or at a micro-market level. PricePoint is able to provide the consumers an actionable and granular level of pricing information at an apartment level, which is accurate and reliable.
