Decoding real estate beyond noise @ https://www.groundlens.in/
So today, I introduce myself as Property Decoder @ Ground Lens — A dedicated consumer centric knowledge platform built to decode how real estate really works. For a long time, I myself have faced a massive gap between what’s projected and what’s real in Indian ‘Real’…
🌻Announcement🌻 A Small Change, A Bigger Purpose After much thought (and a fair share of nervous excitement), I’m making a small but meaningful shift. I started this account on X with a simple intention: to share my learnings, question dominant narratives, and connect with…
They call it SORA.... means “Sky” in Japanese. The Japanese name or façade might not be 5,938 km away, but the Japanese clear sky surely is.... years away, if not decades. Green crackers are yet to burst, stubble burning hasn’t even peaked…. yet the "Sky" has already turned…
That’s why people living in India should keep their expectations low when it comes to seeing real improvement in basic infrastructure. Because if you dare to ask for walkable footpaths, motorable roads, or clean civic services, you’ll likely be met not with solutions, but…
Born in Bengaluru, went to Bishop cottons school, college at Mount Carmel, graduated from Bangalore University, founded Biocon that has over 16 thousand employees many of who are kannadigas, yet being made to prove her loyalty to the land, all because she asked for better…
Why Delhi NCR is Becoming India’s Hub for “Branded” Ultra-Luxury Residences? India’s branded residence story began in Mumbai with icons like Trump Towers and Armani Casa. But today, Delhi NCR leads the race...with most Trump Tower projects, alongside Westin Residences, Versace…
Another Mumbai based startup moving to Bengaluru after Zepto and Ola. But why Mumbai is not able to stop startups from leaving the city? Along with talent, high real estate/housing and operational costs in Mumbai make retaining talent and scaling expensive, pushing startups to…
Isn’t it surprising that properties worth crores are casually promoted/ pushed by these "sold-out" players, just like Rs. 100 vegetables or soaps, with almost no regulation? While money games were banned to protect gullible people’s wealth, the real estate game in India is still…
In Indian real estate, this figure must easily be over 99%. Most “RE influencers” don’t even want to know the truth, they are just smart salesmen repeating the script they are told to sell. Yet, there is no 'warning' anywhere, even though people risk a far larger share of their…
With its bid win over the Adani Group, Vedanta Group is set to enter Noida’s real estate market by acquiring Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL), the original flagship of the Jaypee Group. The deal brings Vedanta a portfolio of stuck real estate assets - parts of Jaypee Greens and…
Ya, Beijing style action plan to reduce air pollution in Delhi?
In Indian real estate, this figure must easily be over 99%. Most “RE influencers” don’t even want to know the truth, they are just smart salesmen repeating the script they are told to sell. Yet, there is no 'warning' anywhere, even though people risk a far larger share of their…
The Ease of Getting Away with Real Estate Scams in India Saw this post on LinkedIn and then dug deeper… found out the art of turning defaults into "new opportunities". This developer, accused across multiple projects from Noida to Faridabad, Mohali to Goa, linked to delays,…
Very true but Navi Mumbai builders shouldn't get greedy this time. Let organic growth happen first with job creation led migration like Bangalore based builders kept their restraint for long and are still not very hyper like once Mumbai ones were and NCR ones have always been.
A reason why I'm bullish on Navi Mumbai is that most builders there are experienced hands. They have large plots. They will hunt for fast sales than fast price inreases. Like Bangalore players. That is the best way to drive migration. And real estate is all about migration
May I know, what's the purpose of running a sponsored "ad" of such screenshots?
It was early 2021. Visited a builder’s office in Gurgaon, almost empty. Sales team looked nervous, ready to sell below their pre-Covid prices. Everyone feared “WFH forever” and “no housing demand ahead” was the mood. Even brokers I met/discussed back then were anxious,…
Gold, luck, Buffett, and Dhoni Gold has been on a roll, rising more than 61 per cent during 2025. My last significant investment in gold MFs was back in March 2021. Since then, the value of my gold portfolio has risen considerably, and I have seen some investing success. So,…
I never get people, especially finance/real estate influencers or experts, whose only job seems to be creating urgency. "Buy a house today… you won’t be able to afford it tomorrow!" "Invest in gold or silver now… tomorrow it’ll be too late!" Morning, evening, late night,…
In this case, capital appreciation has little to do with Gurgaon or Indirapuram specifically, it’s more about timing of his purchases in the real estate cycle. Such 2–3× capital appreciation in a short period is mostly seen in macro-driven real estate cycles, where micro-level…
Near Indirapuram. It has appreciated now coz of Delhi Meerut expressway. But it took a long time. Meanwhile the one I bought in Gurgaon, doubled in 2.5 years.
This is how I see this: ~ 60% of America’s Motel Real Estate is now owned by Gujaratis, mostly from the Patel community. That’s a staggering footprint for a group making up barely 1% of the U.S. population and is actually quite a collective feat of the community. What began…
Many may not agree, but if today India decides to build and maintain high-quality, walkable footpaths nationwide on mission mode, wouldn't just enable people to walk safely, but could make India 'run' faster toward becoming a developed country.
youtu.be/1FC-8K-7QLo Excellent video covering more aspects of urban walkability. I'm overjoyed this is getting more attention, it's about time the authorities notice these trends. Speak out, speak loudly, change is coming! Looks like your boy also made it to the video btw :p
