Founded in 2012 by IIT alumni Ashish Narain Agarwal and later joined by Tushar Shrivastava. PropertyPistol is an online platform that offers various tech solutions and advisory services to home buyers, real estate brokers, and developers.

The startup claims to have facilitated sales of more than 20,000 homes, managed over 5,000 projects and reached around $2 billion in transaction value across India and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
