Can something as complex as property ownership in India finally be simplified?

In this episode of 8Spotlight, we sit down with Sanjay Mandava, co-founder and CEO of Landeed, the Y Combinator–backed startup transforming how India verifies, buys, and manages property.

For decades, India’s real-estate system has been defined by paperwork, bureaucracy, and uncertainty — where proving ownership can take weeks and disputes can drag on for years. Landeed is changing that. Using AI and deep data integrations, they’ve created a “blue tick for property,” bringing instant verification and transparency to one of the world’s largest and most fragmented markets.

Sanjay shares the journey behind building Landeed: from surviving regulatory setbacks and app de-listings to signing enterprise partnerships, working with the Government of India, and launching their groundbreaking AI TSR platform. He also opens up about what it takes to lead through chaos, why India’s property problem demands innovation over imitation, and how Landeed’s mission is expanding to serve millions of global Indians investing back home.

It’s a conversation about trust, technology, and tenacity — and a look at how one founder is redefining what ownership means in the world’s fastest-growing economy.

As Sanjay puts it: “When we show up, we win.”

Tune in to hear how Landeed is turning India’s property maze into a map of opportunity, one verified title at a time.
