Ṭhe duo spotted an opportunity in NRIs. Many wished to invest in Indian real estate but did not have access to unbiased information to do research and requisite support and post transaction services. When they found the NRI demand flowing in, the company quickly expanded base in India by establishing offices in top metro cities and building relationships with top developers. Over the next one-and-half years, Square Yards established its presence in 15 Indian cities and five countries and claimed to have gained a virtual monopoly in the NRI markets of Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and London.
