First it's already so hard for homebuyers to get their homes delivered on time… many a times after fighting in courts. And even when you finally get the keys, if the work quality isn’t as promised, you’re told... "don’t take possession, and fight in courts... because the moment…

Vedanta was once leading the race but with creditor approvals and the emerging contours of the resolution plan, Adani now appears to be the strongest contender to acquire JAL’s large land bank. If the deal materialises, Adani would gain access to ~3,500-4,000 acres in…

See, unfortunately this is the sad reality of the NCR real estate market - the gap between what’s promised at the time of booking and what’s delivered in the end is often massive. And when I say market... is not about by cherry picking showpiece projects that everyone uses as…

Sharing this publicly because the situation has become absurd. My M3M My Den unit has been delayed for *years* and the property has depreciated badly. I can’t sell it, can’t rent it, and the handover still isn’t complete. Now the latest: M3M’s team told me they will not release…



Builders in Hyderabad building homes at another level - from 2000 to 5000 in a single project and then there are so many projects. If delivered timely, good times ahead for end users in times to come.

List of High Density Projects coming up in Hyderabad Going forward, 200 per acre density will be the new normal in West Hyderabad. The main problem with this will be less investor appreciation and resales will get tougher and tougher. My suggestion to Mid range segment buyers…

Now buyers will need another scheme to get justice. Because in India, real estate starts with one scheme and then end with another scheme. At times, it feels like real estate isn't a product, just a scheme to be sold!

OK but kindly explain why despite 4 rate cuts this year, housing sales have been going down?

And there so many Adhbhut brokers who keep promising to trade the EOI cheques like lottery tickets and partying everyday at BYOBs adjoining world-class Thekas, even after duping hundreds of investors. Yet how many of them have you seen getting caught by any regulator/authority?…

Avadhut Sathe made more money from illegal advisory than the annual profit of Zomato and Paytm If Mr. Sathe manages to settle this by paying 50 crores to SEBI, there is no point in doing such raids on dancers turned advisors This is India's speculation story

Wow... now this looks like big cultural shift. Excited to see this happening in India... BUT what will happen to this 'depressing' offline/online coaching industry for college entrance exams?

What happens to a society when its smartest teenagers decide college isn’t worth the time and companies start agreeing with them? Palantir just tried something most people thought was unthinkable. It told high school students to skip college, walk past the gatekeepers, and start…

A lot of people look at record-breaking land auctions and immediately assume that housing will keep getting more expensive at the same pace… and that housing is booming or buyers will simply continue absorbing those prices. But this assumption ignores several key realities.…

More fun is watching brokers pushing the Rs.40-60k/sqft (on carpet area) projects in Gurgaon, even in weak locations, while confidently promising 3-4x returns by possession. And some people are actually buying that story 😀 Let's see if Gurgaon can really defy fundamentals, beat…

Fun fact: that 48k has remained the same (more or less) for the past decade and a half, while others like Blr & Hyd have moved from 2-3k psf to 15-20k psf during this time. In other words, SoBo (LP to Worli) has actually become more affordable during this period



Around 7–8 years ago, I visited a society in Gurgaon that looked completely rundown.... peeling paint, plaster chipping, tower lobbies in bad condition and even the clubhouse & pool were shut. When I asked a broker why it was in such a state, he gave the standard answer:…
