Liases Foras: Redefining Real Estate Data Analytics

CIO Vendor Absence of granular and comprehensive data on real estate pricing, production and sales have for long plagued the real estate market. With a long-standing gap for credible data and analytics that addresses investment and lending risks, banks and developers have been hindered from making informed investment decisions and policymakers from efficiently regulating the markets. Post liberalization, the growth of inventory and speculative capital has only amplified the investment risks.

Our approach is scientific and every opinion is backed by logic, data, and analytics,” states Pankaj Kapoor, Founder and Managing Director of Liases Foras.
