Aurum PropTech undertakes the strategic realignment of K2V2 Technologies (“K2V2”) to enhance focus on its core technology offerings and consolidate its distribution business

  • K2V2 is a leading PropTech business and provides enterprise tech through its flagship product Sell.do to 650+ developers.

  • Sell.do offers a combination of Gen AI and CRM that enhances efficiency across functional domains of marketing, sales, commerce, service, and customer success, therefore enabling a better connection between brands and customers. It leverages technology and data to streamline property search, scheduling visits, rent payments and service requests.

  • This realignment is part of the strategic objective of the Company to consolidate and dominate the distribution vertical. It will create a tech-focused distribution cluster offering improved profitability and a better working capital management cycle.

This strategic realignment has the following 6 key underlying benefits:

  1. Improved path to profitability : The exited services offerings were impacting the profitability of K2V2 and the distribution vertical, bringing the overall net margin to negative growth. Post the realignment, core tech offerings with established scale and brand have put K2V2 and the distribution vertical on a profitable growth path.

  2. Improved cash flows: The nature of the exited business was impacting the cash flow cycle as service delivery to revenue collection was a longer period. K2V2 will have an improved cash flow that will ensure that the working capital cycle for the distribution business will improve and will have a self-sustainable growth model.

  3. Enhanced talent efficiency: There is a ⁓40% increase in revenue per team member per year with this strategic realignment. ( INR 22 lakhs v/s INR 16 lakhs).

  4. Commitment to Entrepreneur focus: Aurum PropTech’s model is anchored around Entrepreneurs. With this strategic realignment, two out of three K2V2 founders are committed to building and scaling up the technology business.

  5. Efficient equity realignment : With this strategic realignment, our equity shareholding in K2V2 has increased to 83.6% for a total consideration of INR 24 crore. With this realigned equity and focus on core technology operations, Aurum will be able to put more growth momentum into the distribution vertical.

  6. Synergies for International GTM: The distribution cluster at Aurum has now core tech offerings with the potential for a joint international GTM. The enterprise-level offerings of data analytics, property management, marketing and sales automation will help real estate developers sell and manage their real estate properties at scale.

Revenue collection for technology and product offerings along with tech-enabled services were majorly either prepaid or within 45 days of the services rendered. Whereas in services offering, these were delayed with most of the revenue being collected post 60 days of the services rendered. This combined with operations and people heavy nature of the services business resulted in long working capital cycles and limited growth and scale.

The realignment of the Distribution segment will ensure that our working capital cycle improves with a better collection of revenue, thus bettering our prospects for free cash flow and self –sustainable growth model.
