The partnership will broaden educational offerings and develop skills for the real estate sector in India, leading to the establishment of a Real Estate educational programme by P E Analytics Ltd, with technical assistance and curriculum support from the Department of Land Economy. This collaboration will facilitate the creation of the first Real Estate School in India going forward.

The collaboration will create opportunities to exploit opportunities for cutting-edge research in the real estate domain, including the development of AI-led predictive models at a time when Prop Equity is already building the first AI conversational Chat GPT equivalent for Real Estate Industry to be launched in India and then to be expanded globally.

The Department of Land Economy has a wealth of experience in leading education for senior, mid-career, and high-potential early-career professionals through its two existing MSt degrees: the MSt in Real Estate, whose initial cohort commenced in 2016, and the MSt in Climate, Environmental and Urban Policy, which launched in 2024. 

This multifaceted relationship with PropEquity is being launched as part of the Department of Land Economy’s new strategic initiative ‘Global Land Economy’, which features international educational and research collaborations with universities and organisations abroad.

Professor Shailaja Fennell, Deputy Head of the Department of Land Economy, said, "We are excited to establish a partnership between the Department of Land Economy and PropEquity which will broaden educational offerings and develop skills for the real estate sector in India."

Mr. Samir Jasuja, CEO, PropEquity said, "With Cambridge expertise guiding our curriculum design and academic frameworks, we are very excited to create India’s most prestigious Real Estate School cum Centre of Excellence. The programmes offered will be highly unique, specialised and industry backed, designed specifically for the core real estate domain covering every vertical."

The Department of Land Economy sits within the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Cambridge. The Department offers undergraduate and postgraduate education across law, economics, and environmental policy. It also has a strong reputation for research: in the latest research excellence framework, 67% of the work in Land Economy’s joint submission with the Department of Architecture was rated as ‘world leading’, the best result in the country in the relevant field and ahead of the Cambridge average of 62%.
