PropEquity and University of Cambridge Collaborate to Establish India’s First Real Estate School
Gurugram-based P E Analytics Ltd, the company behind the real estate data analytics platform PropEquity, has entered into a strategic partnership with the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge. This collaboration marks a significant step towards the establishment of India’s first Real Estate School.
The school is expected to be initially housed in a building in Gurugram and will eventually expand into a full-fledged campus. It will offer a range of programs, including CEO and leadership courses, specialized training for real estate brokers, and programs across various real estate sectors such as luxury housing, warehousing, data centers, commercial real estate, hospitality, housing finance, and data analytics. The initiative will also facilitate cutting-edge research in the real estate domain.
Samir Jasuja, founder and CEO of PropEquity, stated, “The school will offer highly unique, specialized, and industry-backed programs designed specifically for the core real estate domain, covering every vertical. With Cambridge expertise guiding our curriculum design and academic frameworks, we are very excited to create India’s most prestigious Real Estate School-cum-Centre of Excellence.”
The partnership will broaden educational offerings and develop skills for the real estate sector in India, leading to the establishment of a Real Estate educational program by P E Analytics Ltd, with technical assistance and curriculum support from the Department of Land Economy. The collaboration will create opportunities for cutting-edge research in the real estate domain, including the development of AI-led predictive models. PropEquity is already building the first AI conversational Chat GPT equivalent for the Real Estate Industry, which will be launched in India and then expanded globally.
The Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge has a wealth of experience in leading education for senior, mid-career, and high-potential early-career professionals. The department offers two existing MSt degrees: the MSt in Real Estate, whose initial cohort commenced in 2016, and the MSt in Climate, Environmental and Urban Policy, which launched in 2024. The relationship with PropEquity is part of the Department’s new strategic initiative ‘Global Land Economy,’ which features international educational and research collaborations.
Professor Shailaja Fennell, Deputy Head of the Department of Land Economy, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, “We are excited to establish a partnership between the Department of Land Economy and PropEquity. This collaboration will broaden educational offerings and develop skills for the real estate sector in India, leveraging the expertise of both institutions.”
The Department of Land Economy is part of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Cambridge and offers undergraduate and postgraduate education across law, economics, and environmental policy. PropEquity, listed on the NSE, is a leading real estate data and analytics company, tracking more than 180,000 projects by 60,000+ developers across 50+ cities in India.
