The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold globally. While time will tell the absolute impact on the real estate industry, one thing can be said surely that the pandemic pushed the construction industry towards digital adoption. Hitherto, the real estate industry ran with limited resources, paper-based contracts, inadequate performance management and weak supply chain practices. With everything going digital, the pandemic presented an opportunity to the construction industry to identify synergies between real estate and technology. Today, the need for technology in real estate is greater than it’s ever been. The technology enables realtors to improve almost any decision they face while also ensuring greater process efficiency, accuracy and reliability. New-age tech has helped build platforms that reduce the need for in-person meetings, provide real-time data, digitize paperwork and offer integrated end-to-end solutions that facilitate transactions quicker and smoother. The real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030. 2020 was the year of technological growth and every sector witnessed the adoption of digital tools. As per a report by Savills India, PE investment in the Indian real estate sector may recover and garner inwards flow to the tune of $6 billion in 2021, up 30% YoY. This is mainly on account of improved economic sentiment, government initiatives and niche value proposition of construction-tech startups. Many start-ups have upped their game to deliver tech-based solutions for construction/property to better suit the need of the hour. With the recent boom in construction technology, these start-ups have the power to change the industry.
