‍💻 About the Founders

→ Founders Gurvind Ghai and Aishwarya Salagare bring 9 years of combined experience in Dubai real estate and say they have collectively contributed to more than AED 6 billion in property sales

→ Their bet is that the next evolution of real estate won't just be about having more listings, it will be about having better intelligence behind them

The bigger idea

→ Traditional property platforms answer: “What properties are available?”

→ DOVAQ wants to answer: “Which property actually makes sense for you?”

Can AI become the intelligence layer behind one of the world's biggest and most relationship-driven real-estate markets?
