Challenges we solve

Real Estate & PropTech GCC challenges in India

Real obstacles from real GCC setups, and the specific IRPR Network services that resolve each one.

01

Challenge

RERA and Real Estate Compliance

RERA compliance engineering for India-facing real estate platforms requires building RERA project registration, QR code tracking, and complaint management workflows specific to each state's RERA portal - with 30 states and UTs having separate RERA implementations, the engineering complexity for national platforms is substantial

How IRPR Network solves it

IRPR Network handles RERA registrations, state-level real estate compliance, and PropTech-specific data handling requirements for your Real Estate & PropTech GCC.

Explore Compliance management
02

Challenge

RERA and Real Estate Compliance

FEMA restrictions on FDI in Indian real estate development (township projects require minimum USD 5 million investment, 3-year lock-in) must be carefully navigated when a PropTech GCC's parent company also has real estate investment interests in India - the two activities require strict legal separation

How IRPR Network solves it

IRPR Network's FEMA and RBI team handles all regulatory filings, outsourcing notifications, and cross-border reporting for your Real Estate & PropTech GCC from Day 1.

Explore FEMA and RBI compliance
03

Challenge

RERA and Real Estate Compliance

GIS data licensing in India is regulated by the National Map Policy 2005 - certain spatial datasets are restricted for security reasons, requiring PropTech GCCs to use Survey of India-licensed map data for India-facing applications rather than commercial providers that may not have India government authorization

How IRPR Network solves it

IRPR Network structures your Real Estate & PropTech GCC to address this from Day 1, with the right entity model, compliance calendar, and sector-specific advisory built into scope.

04

Challenge

Smart building IoT platforms must

Smart building IoT platforms must comply with India's emerging National Building Information Modeling (BIM) Standards and integrate with state government e-permit systems (such as Maharashtra's PCMC and BMC online building plan approval portals), requiring India-specific engineering effort beyond global platform development

Top India cities for Real Estate & PropTech GCCs

City choice determines talent access, cost band, and state-specific labour compliance obligations.

Bangalore

KA

Hyderabad

TS

Hyderabad offers Bangalore-quality engineering talent at a 10–15% cost advantage, with a more responsive state government (TS-iPASS guarantees single-window clearance in 15 days), lower commercial real estate costs, and a dramatically less congested commute environment - making it the top alternative for GCCs seeking to de-risk Bangalore concentration.
