Tanuj Shori, CEO and Co-Founder at Square Yards, India’s foremost proptech player, has opined that land record digitization will amplify the potential of the country’s real estate market by ten times. Speaking at the Digital India Town Hall, Shori stated that the market will witness a major boost with increasing technological adoption across several areas including land record digitization.
Getting access to land records and other vital information is often a tough task for both individual buyers and real estate developers alike. Most sectors are now taking the digital route for reaching out to prospective customers. However, until the process of property transfer/registration and land records are fully digitized, the realty sector will not fully benefit.
The Digital India Town Hall was set up by Yourstory.com, the online news platform as a commemoration of the completion of 5 years for the Digital India initiative by the Central Government. The guest of honor at the event was the Union Minister for Communications, Electronics & Information Technology and Law & Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad. Panelists included the CEO of Paytm, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Udaan.com co-founder Sujeet Kumar, Cure Fit co-founder Mukesh Bansal, Lending Kart CEO and co-founder Harshvardhan Luni and the CEO and founder of InMobi, Naveen Tiwari.
