Tanuj Shori, Founder and CEO, Square Yards, said, “We wanted to maintain a healthy mix in our balance sheet without diluting too much of equity at this stage of our growth. The new financing would help us accelerate our expansion into newer international geographies and at the same time strengthen our existing distribution network in 10 plus countries.”
