PropertyGuru bags $200m funding

It has also fully consolidated a Vietnam property portal to its group.

Proptech group PropertyGuru clinched $200m (US$145m) from a Series D funding round led by global investment firm KKR, an announcement revealed.

KKR member & head of Southeast Asia Ashish Shastry said that KKR’s investment in Property Guru is part of the firm’s strategy to inject in high-growth markets that they believe can benefit from a rapid increase in technology adoption.

“With rapid online migration well underway across many industries, the PropertyGuru team, led by Hari V. Krishnan, has clearly established itself as the Southeast Asian champion in the online property space,” Shastry said.

PropertyGuru also announced that they have fully consolidated Vietnam property portal Batdongsan. The two groups have started their collaboration from way back 2016.

Founded back in August 2006, Batdongsan is used by over 4 million property seekers and has 70 million monthly page views.

“This new investment is a great validation of the technology-driven growth that PropertyGuru has delivered,” PropertyGuru Group CEO Hari V. Krishnan said. “We are pleased to have KKR, a blue-chip tech investor, join our board, as we have ambitious plans for innovation and growth in the decade ahead.”

PropertyGuru said that they will continue to fuel investments in technology and bring solutions that benefit home seekers, real estate agents and property developers.

Earlier this year, PropertyGuru revamped their websites and mobile apps that are powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
