Why this team
Both sides of the equation
Vanpras works because we don't outsource either side. Real estate ground knowledge comes from Rakesh and Dhirendra — people who've spent decades buying land, building properties, and navigating tier-2 markets. Technology and AI depth comes from Tanay and Akanksha — engineers who've shipped products to hundreds of millions of users. Operational excellence comes from Tanvi — someone who built an entire organization from scratch.
We're not outsourcing either side. The people who know the land AND the people who build the AI are in the same room.
