After the early success of this brand, the company under his leadership acquired Housing.com, Makaan.com, Out of Box Interactions, 3DPhy, and FastFox to expand its footprint in the digital real estate domain.

An avid supporter of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in India, Dhruv has also been supporting startups in the capacity of a mentor, an angel investor and an advisor.

The information is really amazing!
But one thing which annoyed me a bit was the very small unnecessary CUTS in the whole video. I don't know why those cuts were made but those were effecting the viewing experience.
