S1, EP 18: Manish Maryada , Co-founder Fello "India's first game based savings app."
On today's episode of Seed Stories, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sanjay Mandava, CEO of Landeed.
Landeed is a proptech startup building India's fastest and most comprehensive property title search engine. With more than 84% of Indian household wealth stored in real estate, property, and land, having accessible public records is crucial for protecting against litigation and facilitating transactions. Two-thirds of all court cases in India deal with land-related disputes, making Landeed's work even more critical.
The company recently raised $8.3 million in a funding round led by Draper Associates, Y Combinator, and Bayhouse Capital. Sanjay Mandava, a second-time YC founder, is at the helm of this ambitious venture.
