Yes! We will solve real estate, but 10X better with The Chief Architect.

X = X0 + X1 + X2 + X3 + ...Xn

X0 = Fun for All
X1 = Next Solution to the Next Question for All #Product
X2 = Brand for All #LookUp #PositiveForever
X3 = Workspace Culture Benchmark for All #Culture
Xn = More(n) for All

We've achieved a lot in the last 3 years, but the game has just begun.
Yet, We are hungry for all!l :-)

#LookUp

No group or individual has so far claimed responsibility for the act.

Update: The website seems to be operating normally now. We've reached out to the company for a statement on what happened and we will update the story as and when we hear something.

Yadav was was no stranger to controversy as CEO of Housing.com having first hit the headlines when the news of his dramatic resignation broke on social media. "I don't think you guys are intellectually capable enough to have any sensible discussion anymore," Yadav had written to the Housing.com board in his resignation email, only to apologise to the board members and withdraw his resignation.
