At 26, Tajrevan Sidique is taking an active role in Tesora, a Srinagar-based real estate developer with a reported land bank worth tens of crores and projects with a combined value of more than ₹280 crore. An alumnus of the University of Peradeniya and an angel investor, Sidique is working to bring technology into a property market where transactions have traditionally relied on paperwork, personal networks and repeated follow-ups.
Tesora’s approach combines property development with a digital platform called Tesora Ledger. The platform is being developed to give buyers access to property records and project updates, with the longer-term aim of making information easier to follow from booking through handover.
Tesora’s Real Estate Portfolio
Tesora operates as the real estate arm of the Sidique family’s business group, which also oversees other ventures. According to the supplied profile, the company’s land holdings span locations across Jammu and Kashmir, including Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla and Jammu. Its project portfolio is valued at more than ₹280 crore and includes over 500 residential apartments, more than 100 villas and 18 commercial spaces.
One of its current developments is Tesora Green, a 120-unit residential project in Narbal, on the outskirts of Srinagar. Seven additional projects are described as being in the planning stage. The company’s land holdings are presented as a key part of its development strategy, providing a base for projects in a market where suitable land can be difficult to assemble and develop at scale.
Tesora Ledger: Digital Records and Project Updates
Tesora Ledger is intended to give property buyers a clearer view of their purchase and the construction process. The supplied profile says each unit is planned to have a digital file containing information such as title documents, approvals and payment schedules. Buyers would be able to follow construction through geo-tagged photographs and drone updates linked to project milestones.
The aim is to help customers, including Kashmiris living outside the region, check progress without needing to make repeated phone calls or travel to the site. The platform’s first proposed live use is Tesora Green. The company plans to test the system with buyers in that project before considering a wider rollout across its pipeline of more than 600 homes and commercial spaces, followed by possible access for other developers in Jammu and Kashmir.
The profile presents the platform as an industry-focused initiative rather than a tool intended only for Tesora’s own projects. Its wider potential would depend on successful implementation, reliable records, regular updates and adoption by other developers.
From Fintech to Real Estate Technology
Before taking on a leadership role at Tesora, Sidique worked in the founder’s office at Perfios, a Bengaluru-based financial technology company that builds credit-decisioning and financial-data tools for banks and lenders. The profile notes that Perfios raised approximately ₹660 crore from Teachers’ Venture Growth in March 2024 at a valuation of more than ₹8,300 crore.
The experience gave Sidique exposure to a technology-led business operating in a sector built around complex data and decision-making. He has also worked as an angel investor, backing more than 15 startups, according to the supplied material. The profile says this experience has shaped his approach to evaluating ideas, using customer feedback and testing new initiatives before scaling them.
Sidique’s stated perspective is that real estate technology needs to be developed with an understanding of property itself. Rather than approaching the sector only as a software problem, Tesora is combining its experience as a developer with digital tools intended to improve the buyer experience.
Building a Wider Proptech Ecosystem in Kashmir
Beyond its immediate development projects, Sidique’s stated ambition is to support a broader real estate technology ecosystem in Kashmir, including opportunities for local engineers, founders and investors. The company is based in Srinagar, and its technology team is described as being located there, creating the possibility of more technology work being developed within the region.
The family’s wider business group also has interests in the walnut trade and hospitality, including hotels across the Valley. According to the supplied profile, a technology-led approach may eventually extend to those businesses, although real estate remains the current priority.
The regional market presents challenges, including established ways of doing business and a relatively young technology ecosystem. The profile describes these factors as reasons to develop practical systems gradually, demonstrate their value through active projects and build trust with buyers and industry partners.
The Road Ahead
Tesora’s next steps include testing Tesora Ledger through Tesora Green and assessing whether the platform can support other projects and developers. Its long-term prospects will depend on the quality of its records, the consistency of construction updates, buyer adoption and the ability to integrate the system into existing real estate processes.
For Sidique, the broader goal is to help establish a stronger technology base for property development in Jammu and Kashmir. The supplied profile positions him at the intersection of a family-run real estate business, previous fintech experience and early-stage investment. Whether Tesora Ledger becomes a wider industry platform will depend on its performance in practice, but the initiative reflects an effort to apply digital infrastructure to a sector where transparency and timely information are important to buyers.
