believed to have picked up a stake of between 15%-25% in the startup.


"Commercial real estate is the largest asset class after the residential sector. It is
estimated to grow at between 14%-15% CAGR by 2020, which is quite phenomenal. With
real estate investment trusts coming in as well, Propstack is well-placed to serve a rather
underserved market," said Tej Kapoor, country head for DMG India.
Founded in 2013 by former Jones Lang LaSalle executive Seetharaman, Shubhankar
Dongre and Sandeep Reddy, Propstack caters to corporate houses, funds, developers
and ratings agencies, among others by providing research on India's commercial real
estate sector and data relating property values, market conditions and current
availabilities.

"They have a priceless product, and an increasing number of customers are now willing
to pay for solid, reliable research," said Kapoor. The investment has been structured
through DMG Information Asia Pacific.
DMG India, which started investing actively in the country in 2013, counts companies
such as digital education venture iProf, digital advertising and technology event planning
company ad:tech and weather forecasting startup Skymet in its India portfolio.
The investor, which invests out of the DMGT balance sheet, typically enters at a mid-togrowth stage of a company, but has now started scouting for earlier stage opportunities.
"Our series A sweet spot is about $5 million, but we will write cheques of up to $100
million, depending on the opportunity. We aren't going to restrict ourselves," Kapoor said.
