THE ADVICE GAP

Buying a ₹50K phone? Influencers, reviews, & comparisons.
Investing ₹1 lakh? SEBI-registered advisor to guide you.

A ₹2 crore new home comes with a brochure and pushy brokers with conflicting opinions.

THE EVIDENCE

#2nd most spammed & misleading ads sector

Buyers already asking strangers online for advice

Buyers lack expertise to completely verify what they're buying

54% won't buy from same developer again

5 Lakh families stuck in stalled projects

22% of all spam calls. Most-flagged sector for misleading ads, behind only health.

[1] [2]

3 viral Reddit threads on specific new builder projects covered by national press in 2025 alone.

[3] [4] [5]

84% can't assess construction quality. [6]

Delivery quality breaks trust. Buyers don't come back. [7]

Money locked, no home, no recourse. 2,000+ projects stuck since 2018. [8]

So buyers DIY their research. And still get it wrong!

04
The Structural Problem

2 out of 3 primary home sales go through brokers who:

Source 1, Source 2

  • Can't afford to advise.
  • Aren't trained to advise.
  • Aren't equipped to advise.

WHY THIS IS STRUCTURAL

Can't afford to advise.

Aren't trained to advise.

Aren't equipped to advise.

• Base salary ₹20-30K. Need 2 closures to survive. [1]

• Every Instagram lead costs builders ₹1,000–₹3,000 — among the priciest in India. [2]

• 100 leads to close 1 sale.

• So must make 100-150 calls daily. [3]

• Can't afford 30 mins on a maybe buyer.

Indeed 2025

• Only 10% brokers are RERA-registered.

• Among that, 40% failed a basic competency test. [4]

• A human can only hold info about maximum 5-10 projects.

• Within them, still lack many data points about properties which are critical.

Advisory at scale was structurally impossible until now.

Timing

Home buyer persona is shifting and they trust AI already.

Data and AI make unbiased advice feasible, scalable, and economical.

WHY THIS IS THE MOMENT

DATA

Primary Residential data is organised.

BUYER SHIFT

The home buyer persona is shifting.

AI ADOPTION & TRUST

Buyers already trust AI.

AI CAPABILITY + ECONOMICS

Capability & Economics finally work.

• Unified RERA (Sept 2025): 1.43L+ projects, 35 States/UTs.

[1]

• Millennials + Gen Z projected to drive ~60% of new home purchases by 2030.

[2]

• India is #1 AI assistant market. 19% of global users.

• 64% already use AI in purchase journey.

• >60% trust GenAI answers globally.

[3] [4]

• ~280× drop in reasoning costs in 2 years.

• Voice AI at sub-500ms latency in 11 Indian languages.

• AI agents' autonomous task length is doubling every ~4 months.

[5] [6] [7]

₹1.4 Crore.

That's the full-year AI cost of giving every under-35 first-home buyer in India a 30-minute voice advisory session in their own language. In 2022, the same service would have been structurally impossible at any price.

~2.5L under-35 first-home buyers × 30-min voice × current prices = ~₹1.4 cr/year
Less than one sales director's compensation. Voice session: ~₹55–60.

The Data

1.43L+ projects, 35 States/UTs unified Sept 4, 2025. SC: machine-readable by end-2026

rera.mohua.gov.in

Timing

Proptech Is a Graveyard. This Is Why That's the Wrong Read in 2026.

The 2015 playbook - classifieds, leads, broker commissions - deserved to die. What's possible in 2026 is a different species.

"Indian buyers don't pay for advice."

They didn't when the product was listings. Adjacent verticals prove they pay for trust: Zerodha (stocks), Policybazaar (insurance), Jar (35M users, profitable FY25)

TechCrunch, Fi Money 2025

"Proptech margins are broker-thin."

True when humans gave advice. At ~₹60/voice session, advisory = software margins. Full-year cost to serve 1M buyers: ~₹1.4 cr. EliseAI (US): $2.2B valuation, >$100M ARR.

Epoch AI, SiliconAngle Aug 2025

"RERA data is a mess no one will clean."

Was. As of Sept 4, 2025 MoHUA consolidated 1.43L+ projects into unified portal. SC Nov 2025: machine-readable quarterly reports by end-2026.

Timing

India's Trust-Layer Pattern. Homes Are Next.

Every consumer category in India that matters was built when technology made honesty cheaper than deception. Homes are the last big one left.

We make the same fee whichever home a buyer purchases,
so advice stays unbiased.

Builder pays the channel commission they already pay. Sachi keeps a flat fee per buyer. The rest goes back to the buyer.

Traction · Live since April 4, 2026

Buyers have started trusting Sachi like a human advisor.

Buyer Quote · Adugodi

"I am confused. Because I have a daughter for marriage and a son who is studying."

53-yr-old salaried buyer trusted Sachi across multiple sessions. Sachi advised on whether to proceed and structured payment from PF + loan + savings based on family constraints.

Site Visit Scheduled · No Human Involved

Tired of renting, started home search to site visit booked in one session via Sachi AI on WhatsApp. No human involvement.

Moats We Are Building

Incumbents can't follow without breaking their P&L.

Buyer-Fiduciary Brand.
NoBroker, Square Yards: not buyer-side. We're building India's first scalable, standardized buyer-side advisory where AI analyzes market-wide patterns no human can track.
P&L Asymmetry.
Brokerages run on a salaried sales-team cost base. The rebate cuts revenue per deal in half; that cost base would need a full rebuild. Buyer-advisor peers cap higher because human-only delivery has a cost floor.
Self-Improving AI Advisor.
Sachi analyzes 100+ signals per property and refines advice from every conversation. The more buyers we serve, the smarter the advice. A moat that deepens with scale.
Trust & Content Flywheel.
Organic content reduces CAC. Sachi builds audience through educational content, not ads. Trust compounds into referrals.
