The team

The people who built this, and answer when you call.

Real estate platforms succeed or fail on the discipline of the people running them. Here is who is running this one.

Founders & leadership

Vikram Kumar

Vikram Kumar

Founder & CEO

LinkedIn

Started in real estate broking in Najafgarh in 2009, moved into plot development in 2015, and built Paylap because the diligence work he was doing for his own clients deserved a platform.

His view is simple: if you can't explain how a plot is held, who verified the title, and how the maturity payout works, in plain language, you shouldn't be in this business.

Anjali Mehta

Anjali Mehta

Co-founder & COO

LinkedIn

Ten years across operations and customer support at a large Indian fintech before joining as co-founder. Runs the KYC desk, payment ops, and customer success.

Believes the difference between a good platform and a bad one is who picks up the phone at 9 PM on a Saturday. So she rotates onto the phones with the team most weekends.

The team

Sanjay Tripathi

Sanjay Tripathi

Head of Legal & Diligence

LinkedIn

Lawyer by training, surveyor by accident. Sanjay leads the diligence team that signs off every property before it goes live. If a plot doesn't pass his checklist, it doesn't get listed — and he's killed more potential listings than he's approved.

Rohit Bansal

Rohit Bansal

Head of Engineering

LinkedIn

Built and shipped customer-facing platforms at two earlier startups before joining Paylap. Writes the audit log code that even the operations team can't edit, and has strong opinions about logging.

Kavita Desai

Kavita Desai

Head of Finance

LinkedIn

CA with eight years across audit and corporate finance. Reconciles the investor ledger weekly and signs off on every disbursement. Will not let a payout out the door until the paperwork is squared.

Advisors

We're a small team, and we lean on a smaller circle of advisors who've been doing this longer than we have. They review the things we'd be foolish not to second-opinion.

Rashmi Kapoor

Rashmi Kapoor

Advisor — Real estate law

LinkedIn

Partner at a Delhi-based law firm with a real estate practice. Reviews our standard investor agreement template and consults on title diligence on complex transactions.

Ashish Verma

Ashish Verma

Advisor — Capital markets

LinkedIn

Former head of investment products at a major asset management company. Helps us think through long-range product structure and how plot investing should sit alongside other asset classes in an investor's portfolio.

We're a small team

We hire when there's a real problem to solve, not on a calendar.
