How Akshat Makker Is Simplifying Property Discovery for Dehradun, One Requirement at a Time

Finding a place to live should feel exciting.

In reality, it often feels exhausting.

Endless calls.

Unclear listings.

Mismatch between what’s promised and what’s shown.

And the constant question — “Is this really what I’m looking for?”

For Akshat Makker, this everyday frustration wasn’t just a common complaint — it was an opportunity to simplify something most people struggle with quietly.

That opportunity became Doon Rentalwala.

The Problem That Hides in Plain Sight

Property search, especially rentals, is rarely straightforward.

People know what they want — a budget, a location, basic requirements — but finding the right fit often turns into a maze of brokers, listings, and compromises.

Akshat noticed that what people needed wasn’t more options.

They needed relevant options.

Doon Rentalwala was built to make property discovery easier by helping people find homes based on their actual requirements, not generic listings.

Built for Real People, Real Needs

Doon Rentalwala works for people who don’t want to waste time navigating confusing property markets.

Families.

Working professionals.

Students.

Anyone searching for a place that fits their needs without unnecessary friction.

The focus is simple:

Understand the requirement first. Find the property second.

That clarity is what differentiates the service in a space often driven by volume rather than understanding.

Early Wins That Matter

Every startup has moments that quietly signal progress.

For Doon Rentalwala, recently closing multiple property deals marked such a moment. Not because of scale — but because it validated one thing:

The approach works.

People are finding what they’re looking for.

Trust is being built.

And word is slowly spreading.

The Challenge of Supply

One of the biggest hurdles Akshat faced early on was a shortage of properties that matched customer requirements.

Instead of forcing mismatches, the business adapted.

By making the platform more attractive to property owners and improving outreach, Doon Rentalwala began expanding its reach — bringing more listings, more visibility, and better alignment between supply and demand.

It was less about shortcuts, more about persistence.

The Current Bottleneck: Small Requirements

Today, one of the key challenges is the nature of demand — many inquiries are small, especially from students.

While these requirements are genuine, they can slow down scalability and growth. Balancing student needs with larger, long-term rental opportunities remains an ongoing focus.

Still, Akshat sees this phase as foundational.

Understanding demand patterns now will shape smarter expansion later.

Why Doon Rentalwala’s Journey Matters

Doon Rentalwala isn’t trying to disrupt real estate overnight.

It’s doing something quieter — and more sustainable.

Reducing confusion.

Improving discovery.

Making property search feel human again.

Akshat Makker’s journey reflects the reality of early-stage entrepreneurship — solving a real problem, learning from limitations, and building patiently.

In a market full of noise, clarity itself becomes the product.
