Realty portal Housing.com will hire about 200 people this fiscal to strengthen its team, besides investing in technology as well as brand promotion to become the clear market leader, its CEO Dhruv Agarwala said.
REA India, part of Australia's REA Group and US-based News Corp, owns three real estate portals -- Housing.com, PropTiger and Makaan.com.
In an interview with PTI, Agarwala highlighted that the turnover of REA India rose 92 per cent during 2021-22 fiscal (July-June) to nearly Rs 300 crore.
