PropTurtle, a next-generation fractional real estate investment platform, has officially launched with a development-first model that allows investors to participate in institutional-grade hospitality and commercial assets at the builder stage, while targeting an indicative internal rate of return (IRR) of 18–22%.
Unlike traditional fractional ownership platforms that aggregate completed properties and focus largely on rental yields, PropTurtle operates around active value creation. Specifically, the platform emphasizes co-development, professional project execution, and clearly defined exit strategies. Consequently, PropTurtle caters to high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and non-resident Indians (NRIs) who seek structured, transparent, and higher-return real estate investment opportunities in India.
In contrast, most existing fractional real estate platforms follow a passive aggregation model, where investors acquire small stakes in ready-to-lease assets and rely mainly on rental income. As a result, such investments typically generate annual yields of 8–10%. PropTurtle, however, challenges this approach by enabling investors to enter projects during the development phase, which is when the majority of real estate value creation takes place.
By investing at the “builder price,” investors gain exposure to both operational income and capital appreciation at exit. Moreover, this dual-engine return framework mirrors institutional investment strategies commonly used by private equity funds and large developers. Through structured ownership models, PropTurtle now extends these strategies to fractional investors.
PropTurtle is backed by a founding team that combines corporate strategy with hands-on real estate execution. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Chandra Mouli Goddanti brings extensive expertise in business strategy and capital structuring. Previously, he served as Chief Business Officer at EBG Group, where he worked across diversified portfolios spanning technology, manufacturing, and real estate.
Meanwhile, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Raj Karan Puppala contributes deep operational experience from leadership roles at RK Builders & Developers and Sree Shrestam Apart Hotels. Additionally, he holds CREDAI membership and has completed formal business leadership training at IIM Bangalore. At PropTurtle, the founding team actively oversees construction progress, regulatory compliance, cost controls, and operational readiness, thereby significantly reducing execution risks commonly associated with development-stage investing.
Each investment opportunity on the platform operates through a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Accordingly, every SPV outlines clear ownership rights, cash flow distribution mechanisms, and predefined exit pathways from the outset. Furthermore, PropTurtle places strong emphasis on RERA compliance, legal due diligence, and financial transparency.
Initially, the platform focuses on boutique hospitality and strategic commercial real estate located in high-growth corridors. Notably, one of its debut offerings includes The Garuda Gateway, a boutique airport hotel project in Tirupati, which stands to benefit from rising pilgrimage tourism and expanding regional air connectivity.
At the same time, PropTurtle is developing partnerships for commercial income-generating assets aligned with infrastructure-led growth zones. Through this approach, the platform aims to build resilient, cash-generating real estate businesses rather than standalone property investments.
With a minimum investment threshold of ₹25 lakhs, PropTurtle targets serious investors who look beyond traditional residential property or low-yield rental products. Accordingly, the company positions itself as an institutional gatekeeper, offering curated access to opportunities typically reserved for developers, private funds, and large family offices.
As fractional real estate investing in India continues to mature, PropTurtle seeks to establish itself as a compliance-driven, execution-focused platform that prioritizes governance, transparency, and sustainable wealth creation instead of short-term yield chasing.
