Overview
MySFT revolutionizes real estate by enabling users to invest in lands and plots and track their portfolios just like stocks, gold, or mutual funds. Through fractional ownership and crowdfunding, it offers flexible investment options, allowing users to buy or sell anytime with AI-powered insights guiding their decisions.
MySFT also solves complex property management challenges by providing easy access to encumbrance certificates, title reports, property history, sales deeds, and legal opinions. Users can even order property reports and other related documents to be delivered to their doorstep without the hassle of visiting offices.
Problem
Traditional real estate investment is riddled with challenges, including high entry barriers, lack of liquidity, and complex property management. Investors face difficulties accessing large projects without substantial capital and struggle to track market trends without real-time insights, limiting their ability to make informed decisions. Managing property-related documents—like encumbrance certificates, title reports, and legal records—requires navigating government offices, causing delays and frustration.
Challenges

Managing Information Flow Presenting large amounts of investment data, property details, and market trends in a way that doesn’t overwhelm users.
Research
At the start of this project, I knew that creating a platform like MySFT would require a deep understanding of the target users, their motivations, and their concerns about real estate investments. Real estate is often seen as complex, time-consuming, and inaccessible to many, so my research had to focus on how to simplify investments and build trust in a digital-first platform.
01
New Investors: Many users were familiar with stocks or gold investments but felt real estate was complex and required high capital.
02
Experienced Investors: They sought a modern tool for managing portfolios without dealing with tedious paperwork or delayed transactions.
03
Common Barrier: Users, regardless of experience, found legal complexities and documentation daunting, and most preferred predictive growth forecasts.
MySFT combines AI-powered insights with fractional ownership and crowdfunding to simplify real estate investing, allowing users to start small and learn how markets evolve. Seamless property management provides digital access to key documents like encumbrance certificates and title reports, reducing friction. Integrated loan eligibility checks and EMI calculators streamline the buying process, making transactions smoother.
The platform’s premium dark interface enhances user trust by offering a sleek, modern experience, aligning with its identity as a sophisticated investment platform.
