Aurum PropTech (previously Majesco Limited), the leading real estate technology firm, announced on Friday its decision to secure a 100% ownership of NestAway Technologies Private Limited, with a striking Rs 90 crore deal. This major acquisition comes on the heels of its previous acquisition of HelloWorld, a subsidiary of NestAway, last year.
The acquisition is set to bring major leadership changes with the founders of HelloWorld, Jitendra Jagadev and Ismail Khan, who were originally part of NestAway’s founding team, stepping up to helm the company. Jagadev will serve as the CEO, while Khan will assume the COO position at NestAway.
“NestAway’s tech-fuelled transformation of the rental housing industry aligns perfectly with our mission of reshaping India’s residential rental market,” stated Ashish Deora, Founder and CEO of Aurum Ventures.
