Their tech-enabled and easy-to-use convenient digital platform helps investors to explore a lot of opportunities across a great mix of asset classes, risk profiles, yields, and tenors. As a part of the alliance, Jiraaf will provide a Line of credit of INR 250 Cr to identify and give wings to quality real estate projects like plotted development, farm plots, villas, villaments, residential projects and last mile funding for stuck projects wherein the development will be carried on by ArisUnitern. With this association, ArisUnitern will be able to provide funding solutions on projects that they generally take over as development managers, thereby adding more ‘Skin in the game’, apart from being just service providers. Currently, ArisUnitern is focusing on development management projects and plans to add 5 projects worth Rs 500 crore under its portfolio.

This association with Jiraaf gives us the impetus to provide capital and participate in the development not merely as service providers. Developers, financial institutions and land owners will now look at us not only as a solution provider but as solution implementors. This partnership along with our AIF (under formation) of Rs. 350 Crores gives us enough gunpowder to undertake RE projects.”
