The deal, from what we know values Commonfloor at $200mn and the company will continue to operate as a stand-alone entity.

Started 7 years back, Commonfloor last raised $12mn from Google Ventures and has launched multiple products – right from VR to visualized market data using GIS.

Commonfloor has in total raised $62mn and generated a revenue of Rs. 44 crores ($7mn) in FY14-15 and will now be part of Quikr’s new focus area, i.e. Quikr Homes.

The deal is 100% equity driven and Commonfloor team gets Quikr board set as well. Importantly, there will be no layoffs.*

Why Quikr And Commonfloor Need To Live Together?

Simply put, Commonfloor gets access to Quikr userbase – which helps it grows faster than the competition.

And for Quikr, they get a ready made home for QuikrHomes property. Quikr last raised $150mn and need to focus on revenue earning properties – so why not start with real estate.

Ofcourse, the common investors include Tiger Global.
