Recently the trend in startups has been around growing fast, scaling faster, and becoming humongous with viral products, ideas & marketing.

But in most cases, such ideas come crashing down in a short span of time, because of the lack of depth either in the product or the customer base.

In this episode, almost after a year and half since we published NoBroker Founder Amit Agarwal’s episode, we have with us his Co-founder Akhil Gupta to talk more about their journey of building NoBroker with depth in every market and focus on customers over the last 10 years.

During the episode, Akhil shares the ups and downs in their journey, along with the initial response they got while they were trying to raise their first round, what are his thoughts about the current & future of the housing market in India, and more.
