NRIs Drive Surge in Residential Property Management Demand
February 20, 2026
Housewise has been featured in Business Standard for its strong growth in NRI-led property management demand across India.
In the article titled “NRIs drive boom for residential property management firms”, the publication highlights how rising NRI investments in Indian real estate are creating a sharp increase in demand for professional property management services.
50% Annual Growth in NRI Enquiries
Speaking to Business Standard, Pryank Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Housewise, shared that the company has seen enquiries from NRIs grow by nearly 50% year-on-year over the past few years.
He also noted that almost 80% of Housewise’s current customers are NRIs, with resident Indians accounting for the remaining 20%.
This shift reflects a larger trend. As more overseas Indians invest in Indian residential real estate, they are increasingly looking for trusted, on-ground partners to manage their properties, tenants, maintenance, and compliance.
Rising NRI Confidence in Indian Real Estate
The article highlights several key drivers behind this momentum:
- Strong infrastructure growth across major cities
- Regulatory clarity under RERA
- Premiumisation of housing supply
- Attractive rental yields and long-term capital appreciation
For NRIs living abroad, owning property in India is often about both financial returns and emotional connection. However, managing assets remotely can be challenging. This is where professional property management becomes essential.
Strengthening Our Commitment
The recognition by Business Standard reinforces Housewise’s focus on building a transparent, reliable, and tech-enabled property management platform tailored especially for NRIs.
As cross-border real estate investment continues to grow, Housewise remains committed to simplifying property ownership for Indians living overseas.
