The collaboration aims to establish the country’s first dedicated Real Estate School.
Announced on January 26, the partnership will see PE Analytics Ltd, the parent company of PropEquity, launch a specialised real estate education programme with Cambridge’s Department of Land Economy. This program will teach advanced skills related to real estate.
The real estate industry in India is expanding quickly, but there is a lack of highly qualified experts who are well-versed with modern market trends, investment tactics, and urban planning.
This partnership will open up new ways to study and innovate in real estate by focusing mainly on artificial intelligence (AI) to predict market trends, prices, and other industry patterns.
PropEquity is already working on India’s first AI chatbot for real estate, similar to ChatGPT. The plan is to launch it in India first and then expand globally.
“We are excited to establish a partnership between the Department of Land Economy and PropEquity, which will broaden educational offerings and develop skills for the real estate sector in India,” said Professor Shailaja Fennell, Deputy Head of the Department of Land Economy.
This collaboration seeks to fill that knowledge gap by providing professionals and students with cutting-edge training.
The Department of Land Economy currently runs two postgraduate programs – MSt in Real Estate, started in 2016, which focuses on real estate studies and MSt in Climate, Environmental and Urban Policy, started in 2024, which focuses on climate, environment, and urban planning.
Samir Jasuja at PropEquity said that with Cambridge’s expertise in helping to design the curriculum and academic framework, they are excited to build India’s most prestigious Real Estate School and Centre of Excellence.
“The programmes offered will be highly unique, specialized and industry-backed, designed specifically for the core real estate domain, covering every vertical,” he said.
