New Delhi, June, 2026.
Square Yards, India's leading
integrated real estate and mortgage platform, today announced the successful
closure of a Rs 900 crore ($95 million) capital raise. The strategic
investment, which comprises a mix of debt and equity, was anchored by EAAA
Alternatives and saw participation from global corporate credit manager
Muzinich& Co.
Following this capital
infusion—which was completed at an equity valuation significantly higher than
its previous round—Square Yards has firmly solidified its position as a
dominant force in the global proptech ecosystem. Building on this momentum, the
company is also looking to close another $50-60 million over the next quarter
as part of its ongoing capital strategy.
Over the past several years,
Square Yards has registered phenomenal, multi-fold growth. In its most recent
fiscal year (FY26), the company reported robust revenues of Rs 2,086 crore (approx.
$223 million), marking a 48% year-on-year growth. This top-line expansion was
accompanied by a massive surge in profitability, with EBITDA jumping 3.7x to Rs
176 crore (approx. $19 million). This continues a remarkable long-term
trajectory, highlighted by a 5-year revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of approximately 53%.
From its origins as a primary
brokerage, the company has successfully transitioned into a fully integrated
ecosystem offering services across property search, transactions, home loans,
interiors, and property management. With a strong operational footprint
spanning India, the UAE, Australia, and Canada, this latest capital infusion helps
fortify its balance sheet whileenabling the company to fuel further expansion
and strengthen its technological infrastructure as Square Yards aggressively
prepares for its highly anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO).
Commenting on the
milestone, Tanuj Shori, Founder &
CEO of Square Yards, said:
"This significant capital raise from such esteemed
institutional partners is a profound validation of our resilient business model
and our relentless pursuit of revolutionizing the real estate ecosystem. We
have spent the last few years building a highly profitable, scalable, and fully
integrated platform. As we gear up for our upcoming IPO, this capital raise
will provide us with the strategic firepower to accelerate our market
expansion, deepen our technological moats, and continue delivering exceptional
value to our customers and stakeholders."
Representatives from the
investing firms also expressed strong confidence in Square Yards' trajectory.
Amit Agarwal, CEO, EAAA Alternatives said,“We are pleased to partner with Square Yards at
an important stage of its growth journey. Our investment thesis was anchored in
backing a profitable market leader operating with significant operating
leverage in a highly fragmented market, providing a long runway for future
growth. This transaction reflects our continued focus on supporting
high-quality businesses with tailored capital solutions while maintaining a
strong emphasis on downside protection and risk-adjusted returns.”
This investment further strengthens EAAA
Alternatives’ Special Situations Strategy, which provides bespoke solutions to
businesses, supporting growth, refinancing, and balance sheet optimization, Mr.
Agarwal further added.
Andrew Tan, CEO Asia
Pacific, Muzinich& Co:
"Square Yards has demonstrated a unique ability to scale
their business rapidly while still maintaining capital efficiency. We look
forward to supporting their continued growth and success.”
Beyond its core brokerage and
transactions business, Square Yards
operates a portfolio of complementary consumer brands across the real estate
value chain. These include Urban Money, one of India's largest marketplaces for
secured mortgages and lending solutions; Azuro, among the country's largest
rentals and property management services; and Interior Company, its fully owned
home interiors and modular furnishing subsidiary. Urban Money has scaled
rapidly, facilitating loan disbursals of Rs 87,831 crore in FY26 and operating
through a network of agents and partnerships with more than 150 banks and NBFCs.
The group also runs technology-led B2B platforms, including a data intelligence
platform for property valuation and title search, and PropVR, an AI-powered
tool for immersive 3D, virtual, and augmented reality property experiences.
The successful capital raise
comes at a time of remarkable buoyancy in the Indian real estate and mortgage
markets. The sector is currently witnessing an unprecedented multi-year
upcycle, fuelled by rising urbanization, a burgeoning middle class, and strong
regulatory frameworks like RERA that have boosted consumer confidence.
Concurrently, the mortgage market is expanding rapidly as homeownership becomes
a priority for younger demographics. With the increasing digitization of
property transactions, integrated platforms like Square Yards are uniquely
positioned to capture these massive economic tailwinds, bringing much-needed
transparency, efficiency, and trust to the Indian real estate landscape.
