Hyderabad-based PropTurtle has unveiled a new fractional real estate investment platform that allows investors to participate in commercial and hospitality projects during the development phase. Unlike conventional fractional ownership models, which focus primarily on rental yields from completed assets, PropTurtle emphasises active value creation through co-development, professional project management, and structured exit strategies.
The platform targets an indicative internal rate of return (IRR) of 18–22%, appealing to high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and non-resident Indians (NRIs) seeking institutional-grade investment opportunities in India’s growing urban real estate market. Industry analysts note that the platform reflects a broader trend in urban real estate investment, where investors are increasingly looking beyond passive income streams to capital appreciation tied to operational performance. By entering projects at the “builder stage,” investors can benefit from the dual advantage of rental income once operational and long-term capital gains, mirroring strategies historically reserved for private equity funds and large developers. PropTurtle’s leadership combines strategic and operational expertise to reduce risks commonly associated with development-stage investments. Founder and CEO Chandra Mouli Goddanti has a track record in capital structuring and diversified business portfolios, while co-founder and COO Raj Karan Puppala brings hands-on experience in real estate execution, hospitality operations, and regulatory compliance.
Each project is structured under a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), ensuring transparent governance, clear ownership rights, and pre-defined exit pathways. Legal and regulatory compliance, including RERA adherence, is a core focus of the platform, aligning with growing investor demand for transparency and accountability in India’s fragmented real estate sector. PropTurtle’s initial portfolio includes boutique hospitality and strategic commercial assets located in high-growth urban corridors. A notable project, The Garuda Gateway in Tirupati, is positioned to leverage rising pilgrimage tourism and improving air connectivity. Future offerings are expected to focus on commercial assets aligned with infrastructure-led urban growth zones, reflecting the platform’s emphasis on sustainable, income-generating investments rather than speculative property holdings. The minimum investment threshold is set at Rs 25 lakh, signalling the platform’s focus on serious investors seeking structured exposure to high-return real estate. Experts suggest that fractional investment platforms like PropTurtle could play a key role in formalising India’s urban real estate investment landscape by offering institutional-grade projects to a broader but qualified investor base.
As urbanisation accelerates and the demand for professionally managed commercial and hospitality spaces rises, platforms that combine development-stage entry with robust governance could redefine how investors participate in city-centric real estate. PropTurtle positions itself at this intersection, offering a model that emphasises long-term wealth creation, operational oversight, and alignment with sustainable urban growth principles.
