MILKAR: Buy Together, Save Together

Overview

MILKAR is an innovative real estate platform that revolutionizes property buying in Indore by leveraging collective purchasing power. By grouping 50+ interested buyers, MILKAR negotiates significantly better deals with developers, helping clients save 10-20% more than individual negotiations.

The platform creates a win-win-win situation for buyers (better prices), builders (bulk sales), and the company (commission-based revenue).

  • 500+ properties sold through collective buying
  • Groups of 50+ buyers for maximum negotiating power
  • Zero upfront fees for buyers
