What has been your significant achievement in 2023?
Ensuring that ANAROCK stayed on point to achieve and maintain high profitability gave me the highest sat- isfaction in 2023. The Group saw 30% revenue growth, primarily driven by vibrant residential sales. We maintained our pole position thanks equally to our proprietary AI/ML real estate marketing tools and our expertise in leveraging the market. It couldn’t have been a better year for me personally, and for the group.
Who do you look up to for inspiration?
I look up to today’s young people, and for good reason - I remember my own youthful drive when I began my real estate journey, I had little more than courage, determination, and self-belief. I did not have the experience I have today back then - but I did have a youthful drive, and a rock-solid belief in the real estate market. I believe in the power of youth, and the willingness of youth to adapt, learn and embrace change and progress.
What are your current goals?
Certainly, to triple or quadruple’s turnover over the next 4-5 years. I want ANAROCK to become the defacto, default real estate services firm of choice at every level and in every facet of the market. We are expanding continuously into new businesses and geographies. There’s nothing cautious about ANAROCK, and my personal goal is to ensure that caution never holds us back from exploring new dimensions.
What is your future outlook for the industry?
India is the world’s 5th largest economy and the 4th largest stock market. It has embarked on accelerated growth to accomplish the USD 5 trillion size in the next few years. The residential demand will continue to be driven by end-users with the participation of a healthy mix of long-term investors. Commercial real estate is expected to be dominated by the global capability centres, keeping the demand buoyant. The Indian retail market is likely to touch USD 2 trillion by 2032 facilitating organized retail to grow at an annualized rate of 25%.
