Milkiyat is run by a team of seven members, all of whom believe in the vision of building the next-gen real-estate solution of Kashmir. This start-up isn’t a mere business idea but a step to bring about a change in Kashmir. The intent is to build a world-class infrastructure within Kashmir.”
“Many skilled youngsters end up leaving Kashmir to earn money because of a lack of job opportunities. Creating such opportunities is a prioritized mission for our team. Not only do we want to create jobs, but our motive is to use technology to drive processes,” says, co-founder, MIlkiyat, Jibran MukhtarMattoo.
“Technology is a necessity in today’s world, and if we do not grow along with it, we’re always going to be devoid of opportunities. In a place like Kashmir, it is very important for us, especially the youth, to take steps to ideate, innovate, build better solutions and drive growth,” he says, “We are way behind the world at the moment, but the energy in our youth is immense which we believe is severely underutilized.”
He credits Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos for pretty much making “impossible” into today’s “possible”. “We must use this energy to build great things and go wild with the wonderful minds bestowed upon us and we are taking inspiration from leaders like Elon and Jeff.”
The founder, Muhammad TawqeerMunishi, who hails from Buchpora, Soura, area in Srinagar and JibranMukhtarMattoo, from SafaKadal, Srinagar, say people ask us, “How are you different from solutions like 99Acres, housing.com, etc.?” The answer is simple; we’re involved in every deal that takes place. We moderate to ensure transparency, offer paperwork solutions and guide our clients for site visits. We’re a more people-oriented platform that associates with people and ensures a necessary human touch along with leveraging technology to drive the process.”
According to founders, the problems that they are solving include Trust: People find it very hard to trust people in situations that involve spending lakhs and crores of their money, more so because of the fraud culture that has prevailed in the real-estate sector. There has been no accountability, transparency and awareness among people. Milkiyat as a solution is not peer-to-peer but involves our moderation to ensure transparency between the two parties. We ensure accountability and educate our clients about the rates, paperwork and all the relevant details involved in the process of property dealing.
Unorganised sector: Milkiyat is an all-in-one solution. We operate in all spaces of real-estate like commercial, residential (including apartments), investment and rental spaces. We ensure our users have a wide choice of properties available in every area and under all budgets.
