  I'm a real estate and customer experience analyst at Square Yards. I study how Indian homebuyers, sellers, and tenants move through the property journey and where it breaks. Working with our buyer advisors, principal partners, and post-sale teams, I map friction across financing, RERA compliance, registration, and possession, then turn those patterns into the Buyer, Seller, Tenant, and NRI guides on squareyards.com. My work pulls from three inputs: transaction data from our research desk, on-ground intelligence from advisors closing deals daily, and the regulatory records like RERA portals, RBI circulars, and state stamp-duty notifications. I keep the framing easy to digest, explaining loan math, BHK trade-offs, rental yield, and NRI remittance the way buyers ask about them at the dinner table.
