Nila Spaces Invests INR 6 Cr in Alt DRX

Design-led real estate developer Nila Spaces has invested INR 6 crore to acquire an approximately 1.4% minority stake in Alt DRX, a fintech startup working in asset and real estate tokenisation in India. The investment forms part of Alt DRX's current funding round, which has also attracted participation from global institutions and Indian family offices.

According to Nila Spaces, the investment reflects its interest in supporting the shift of real estate tokenisation from early-stage adoption to wider scale. The Ahmedabad-based startup said the partnership aligns with its focus on financial innovation that aims to improve access, transparency, and long-term value creation in the housing sector.

Under the collaboration, Nila Spaces and Alt DRX will work on developing regulatory-compliant and investor-friendly tokenised housing products. These products are expected to enable fractional ownership, lower entry barriers for a broader set of investors, and maintain institutional-grade governance and transparency.

Nila Spaces is led by Deep Vadodaria and is part of the Sambhaav Group. The company develops residential and commercial real estate projects, with a focus on affordable housing, luxury apartments, and developments in GIFT City, and holds a sizeable land bank in Gujarat.
