Working with a disruptor – Commonfloor’s engineering culture

 

It all starts by trying to solve a day to day solution. But as time moves on, the solution becomes the problem. Not because it isn’t doing it’s job; because it opens newer problems. And newer problems mean newer solutions. And as you’re playing this game of problems and solutions, you’re created a company that imparts a lot of value to the society.

Commonfloor’s story has somewhat been the same. With the singular aim of wanting to make getting information about real estate easier, the company has scaled from a mere idea to a 700+ member organization that serves thousands of home seekers every day. Of the few companies that are disrupting the real estate market, Commonfloor greatly leverages technology in making home searching easy.
