We bought here first. Then we built the site we couldn't find.

The problem we had

Buying Indian property from abroad means choosing between two bad information sources: developers (who are selling) and brokers (who are paid by developers). Every listing is "premium." Every possession date is "soon." Every yield is inflated by two points. The English-language research layer that exists for Singapore or Dubai property — independent reviews, honest data, stated methodology — simply didn't exist for the one Indian district global money is actually moving to.

So the rule here is simple: publish what we'd want to know before wiring our own money — and nothing we wouldn't stake our own name on.

What that means in practice

• Every project gets its RERA number published. The certificate date, not the brochure date. Sobha Elysia says December 2030 on paper — so that's what we print.
• Yields are stated honestly. GIFT residential is 3–5% gross, Shantigram ~2%. If income is your goal, we'll point you at pre-leased commercial — or at Dubai.
• Counterarguments are part of every page. The Why GIFT essay ends with the case against. If our own research talks you out of buying, that's a good outcome.
• Commissions are disclosed. We're channel partners with select builders and take referral fees from brokers — that's how introductions stay free for you. No developer can pay for coverage or edit a word of it. Full detail in Disclosures.

Why anonymous-ish?

The brand stands on the research, not on a face. What matters for your trust: the person behind this owns in the corridor (same side of the table as you), lives the NRI logistics daily (Toronto, EST, cross-border banking and all), and answers every email personally. When you get on a call, you'll know exactly who you're talking to.

Where we're headed

A YouTube research channel, quarterly price tracker updates, project reviews in the format this corridor deserves, and a monthly Corridor Letter. If that sounds useful, start with the guide.
