Technical expertise used to be the sole differentiator in hiring the best professionals. Is AI changing that?
Our CTO, Pankaj Goel, has an interesting take on what this means for recruitment: as AI becomes more accessible, the advantage shifts from simply using technology to understanding where and how it creates value. The ability to learn continuously, work across disciplines, and translate customer needs into scalable solutions is what separates great talent today.
And the best of them? They want to solve consequential problems and build things that create measurable value for real customers.

I have had the opportunity to deploy salesforce, Freshworks and Leadsquared at different corporates in my tenure as a rev ops leader. I can say that none of those give any organisation an advantage to close deals. It is purely sales rigour and daily and weekly ops that drive it
Mitali Jha, a talented B.Tech student (CSE, AI) from Batch 2026 at GL Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management, has secured a placement with LeadSquared.
GL Bajaj extends heartfelt congratulations and wishes her great success.
Sharing her experience, she expressed: “The journey at GL Bajaj has been empowering. The exposure, guidance, and constant encouragement helped me grow both technically and personally.”

🚀 Aurum PropTech: From Losses to Profitability – A PropTech Turnaround Story
The Big Milestone:
First adjusted EBITDA positive quarter! Company moved from -4% to 3% margins YoY. Management targeting Rs. 500cr ARR by Q4 FY26.
Growth Triggers to Watch:
✅ PropTiger Acquisition – 100% buyout at 1x revenue (vs peers at 4-8x). Management expects profitability in 2-3 quarters with strong ecosystem synergies
✅ International Debut – Nestr Dubai launch tapping organized, high-value Middle East rental market
✅ AI-First Strategy– 35% engineering efficiency gains, chatbots, digital resale platforms driving tech moat
✅ Network Effects Compounding – Rental Distribution creating flywheel (65% rental, 35% distribution revenue split moving to 50-50)
Key Headwinds:
⚠️ Student living segment disappointing – growth stalled
⚠️ Rental SaaS stagnating – management acknowledging slow uptake
⚠️ Fractional ownership pivot due to regulatory changes
⚠️ Competition intensifying in CRM/lead-gen (Salesforce, LeadSquared)
What I Like:
- Management showed agility in course-correcting Sell. Do restructuring
- REA Group's 5.5% strategic stake adds credibility
- Trading at massive discount to private PropTech peers despite better unit economics
- Clear path to profitability vs "growth at any cost" narrative
🚩Red Flags:🚩
- Two admitted underperforming bets (student living, Rental SaaS)
- Execution risk on PropTiger integration
- No clear moat vs established CRM players
Bottom Line:
Operational discipline profitable growth international expansion = potential re-rating opportunity. But watch for PropTiger integration hiccups and competitive pressures.
Management quote that stood out:
"With each passing quarter, we are seeing the network effect strengthen and compound… making the ecosystem smarter, faster, and more transparent."
Worth tracking if they deliver on Rs. 500cr ARR target. Thoughts?
