CommonFloor_BSCoverage_Pg2

Business Standard, one of the leading national business daily, featured Commonfloor.com in the “Startup Corner” section of their newspaper dated 20th May 2013.

The article titled “Building bridges between neighbours” talks about the core idea and concept behind Commonfloor.com.

The article read that, Commonfloor.com runs Rs 10-crore business, with about 60,000 housing societies on its apartment management platform. Its revenues rose five-fold compared with Rs 2 crore in 2011-12. CommonFloor.com has morphed into one of the fastest growing property portals in the country, facilitating buying, selling and renting of properties, a segment that accounts for almost all the company’s revenue.

When asked about the company’s unique revenue model, Sumit said, “This is akin to the Google model, in which the platform is free for the end-user (property owners), while the business customer pays for the services.”

The article also spoke about the company’s online apartment community and accounting services, in which it provides members regular updates on maintenance, track payment dues and complaints. Members can search for a plumber, carpenter or maid; create subgroups based on shared interests such as gardening, car pool or yoga.

Members keep themselves updated through email and SMS alerts, while a mobile app keeps neighbours connected on the go. The platform also helps resident welfare associations manage their expenses and accounts online.
