Alt pioneered the fractional investment platform model in India in 2015 through Property Share by allowing users direct access to institutional grade office assets with c. 8-10% in-place yields and c. 15-18% unleveraged IRRs. When the sector was regulated in Mar'24, Property Share became the FIRST platform to receive the Small and Medium REIT license from SEBI, paving the way for a fully regulated and revolutionary new asset class it had pioneered. On 10th Dec, 2024, Property Share created history by listing PropShare Platina, India's 1st SM REIT, on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Alt has offices in Mumbai, Bangalore and London and provides investors access to a diverse range of alternatives including private real estate in India and UK, public real estate in the US, Canada, UK and India through listed REITs, Cat II AIFs, Portfolio Management Services and an LRS fund out of GIFT City. With 400,000+ users and more than $250 million in assets under management, Alt is using technology to provide ground breaking access to alternative assets to individual investors.
