This is a first of its kind app for these professionals in a segment that is highly unorganised in India with no standard pricing or assurance of quality products,” Poddar said. 

“Even though the real estate segment has witnessed huge technological disruptions in many of the traditional elements like house hunting and buying of furniture etc, the home renovation arena is still largely unorganised. We have identified the inefficiencies of the system and have created a platform to help simplify the materials purchase aspect for all home building professionals,” the Co-Founder added.
