Launched in 2008, Bayut has consistently set benchmarks in the PropTech space, connecting buyers, sellers, tenants, landlords, and agents through a robust platform powered by innovation and deep market intelligence. Today, Bayut features listings from over 3,500 real estate agencies and continues to pioneer transformative technologies that shape the future of real estate in the region.

Bayut’s trajectory accelerated in 2014 with the arrival of CEO Haider Ali Khan, whose leadership transformed the platform into an industry trailblazer. Recognised by global publications, government entities and industry leaders alike, Bayut has earned its place as one of the most trusted and respected names in the market.

Guided by core values of Honesty, Ownership, and Innovation, Bayut is also part of a wider success story. In 2020, its parent company Dubizzle Group (formerly EMPG) announced a strategic merger with OLX Group for operations in Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, and dubizzle in the UAE.

With over AED 735 million ($200M) raised in its latest funding round, Bayut stands as the most well-funded tech startup in the region.
