AJ Malhotra at Insight Partners takes an unusually broad view of proptech as any technology touching the full lifecycle of physical structures—from land acquisition through construction, financing, leasing, management, insurance, and repair—rather than treating these as separate sectors. He combines this comprehensive framework with deep conviction around applying AI and machine learning to the vast amounts of building and usage data (occupancy, foot traffic, temperature, air quality) plus external climate and economic data to drive returns in design, retrofitting, and climate resiliency.
