Speaking about the launch of “Buy-to-Let” segment with Mahindra World City, Founder and CEO of Novyy Technologies, Ashish Saraff said, “We chose Mahindra World City as our first Buy-to-Let product in India for it’s price point and the natural rental market that the region offers. There are over 65 corporates employing over 80,000 people in the vicinity, and supply outpaces demand. In addition, rental yields in Indian metros are now capped at 3%, whereas rental returns in such regions is much higher.
“Traditionally, we mostly don’t invest outside the city where we live. And investment properties have a binary rental outcome – 0 or 1. Novyy Buy-to-Let solves both these problems. Indians can now invest anywhere in India, never be on 0 rental earnings and remain stress-free. It’s just like investing in Mutual Funds without the volatility of stock markets – Invest, Sit Back and Relax.” he further added.
Vimalendra Singh, Chief Sales Officer of Mahindra Lifespaces, said, “At Mahindra Lifespaces, we believe there is significant scope to reshape the value proposition in residential real estate in India. Novyy’s ‘Buy-To-Let’ propositionis strategically aligned to our ‘Mahindra Happinest’ offerings and could be beneficial for domestic and NRI investors alike.”
