- Founded in 2016 by Mustafa Johar and Husain Johar, MakeMyHouse provides interior and construction designs for new and existing homes. Currently, the platform has more than 12,000 layouts, and 101,040 visitors on their website.
- In Tier II and III cities, people want to build houses and they have the monetary bandwidth to do so. But due to lack of contacts in trained architects or engineers, they end up working with traditional contractors, who mostly modify existing designs and provide something that is not always architecturally sustainable. People end up spending much more, and also do not have a high-quality product
- The firm has currently completed 3,000 to 4,000 interior designing projects, with close to 50 projects every month. MakeMyHouse also focuses on architectural designing of individual houses constructed from the ground up, and has seen over 500 customers on average every month. Overall, the firm has worked with over 12,000 customers till date.
