From 20 communities in the first year, its community management software began to serve 1000 communities by the second year. Commonfloor decided to secure funding only in 2009, successfully making it past the recession years exclusively on the founders' personal savings until then.

Online classified firm Quikr India bought real estate portal CommonFloor in a $200 million deal. The deal was allegedly driven by US-based Tiger Global, an investor in both firms, following a slowdown in real estate funding.
