It wasn’t the most supportive reaction from family. “Online ghar kaun banayega (who would want to build a house through online)?” asked Jayesh Rajpurohit’s mother when he floated the idea behind his startup Brick&Bolt to her and his sisters.
But that didn’t deter him from working towards it. “There are two things that are considered most complicated in India—hosting a wedding and making a house,” says Jayesh, 41. “It’s this belief I wanted to change.”
“ This industry lacks a data-driven approach. With Brick&Bolt, I saw that they had the potential to convert unorganised to organised and that they were going to be a game changer.”
