VP - Engineering

About Us:

We are a platform with a simple aim to present Indian and Asian travelers with the most beautiful and exquisite properties in the World. Making holidays memorable by marrying the plush comforts of a private, luxurious home with top class hotel-like service.

We believe we are uniquely positioned to win because:

1. Unique Demand: The new age traveler wants access to unique, private, experiential, and non-standard properties, but traditional market places don- t guarantee service.

2. Limited Supply: Our experience of building and managing luxury homes makes us the preferred partner to the owners of the most beautiful homes in the world.

Having already disrupted the luxury real estate industry, Isprava is now India's leading luxury holiday home brand.

We have successfully raised 3 rounds of equity capital and are privileged to be backed by some of the leading industrial groups and family offices (Including the Godrej Family, Burman Family, Piramal Family, among others).
