Building to Rent with Mr. Vijeth Reddy, Co-Founder & CEO of Kots

Concrete Conversations - The Indian Real Estate Podcast

Joining us today is Mr. Vijeth Reddy, the Co-Founder and CEO of Kots a pioneering residential leasing company operating in East Bangalore, that caters to the needs of both tenants and Landlords.

Renting an apartment in a metro city is fraught with challenges for both the tenant and the landlord.

If you’re a tenant you have several criteria you’re juggling: price, location, quality of the apartment, proximity to shops, restaurants, ease of connectivity or commute to your office or college, and of course a Landlord who is attentive and responsive in the event something goes wrong or needs to be fixed in the apartment.

If you’re a landlord your main concerns are probably a tenant who pays their rent on time, who respects the property and doesn’t cause any damage, who respects the buildings common areas, and of course there is a target rental yield you would like to achieve.

For both parties there is an asymmetry of criteria and a lack of benchmarks for their expectations.

To bridge this gap, Mr Vijeth Reddy and his wife Mrs. Sageetha Reddy, founded Kots in 2019. Kots is a pioneering residential leasing company operating in East Bangalore, that caters to the needs of both tenants and Landlords. An engineer by education, Mr. Reddy is a serial entrepreneur with a history of building startups in varying sectors.

Kots is one of the few Indian companies in the residential sector that partners with developers to operate on a Build-to-Rent model. The company maximizes returns to the landlord, while also catering to 11-month rental contracts for India’s young professionals, with their primary tenant demographic being 24-35 years of age. Kots also solves for the upkeep and turnover of the properties they manage.

Kots has already grown a foundation in East Bangalore having served over 900 tennants and 50 different Landlords, in the last 4 years. The company’s plans for the next two years include a tenant base of 3000, working with 100 different Landlords, and perhaps hoping to expand to other markets in India soon.

So without further ado, let's get started.
