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…
What 'value' do all these anchor investors and MF AMCs are seeing that several experts and retail investors are not agreeing with? Kindly throw some light on this.
11 pages of Anchor list for Lenskart. 22 mutual fund AMCs have applied. Let that sink in. Half of India’s fund industry queued up for an IPO at obscene valuations. A company at 12x revenue and yet, every one of these so-called “valuation-conscious” fund managers jumped in…
Many people are losing their minds over a 2–3x jump in housing prices in the last 3 years. But very few know the real classics: once upon a time, DLF Aralias, Gurgaon did a 4.7x jump in just 22 months. How did it happen? Fundamentals? Infrastructure upgrades? Demand-supply gap?…
Sometimes I wonder if retail buyers will ever stop piling into overvalued IPOs and highly speculative new launches/ under-construction projects. After studying multiple cycles, the answer seems clear: probably not. Maybe it slows down someday, because we’re still early in both…
AQI - 386 New record deal - 380 cr Similar numbers, this proves that there is some magical correlation of AQI with luxury housing in Gurgaon... as AQI increases 📈, housing deal price increases ⏫. So in Gurgaon, the air might choke you, but the increasingly property prices…
Pollution getting more severe. Children and Elderly getting sicker While states can blame each other for incompetence, the central govt cannot escape its responsibility towards its citizens. @narendramodi should dismantle the Central Pollution control board and the Ministry…
Sometimes I wonder why UHNIs buying ₹50–100 crore homes in Gurgaon don’t demand the most basic luxury... Clean Air. It’s arguably the scarcest amenity too in the city today. Many of them must well-connected with power centres at the state and central level. So why not push…
The face of #Haryana's development and aspirations and one of biggest economic hubs in country #Gurgaon #Gurugram gasps for breath. People are forced to flee during winters to escape #AirPollution ‘smog vacations’ is the new thing here. Sadly while thousands of crores are…
It’s ironic that someone like Pankaj Kumar must have been putting more efforts for the cleaning of Yamuna with limited resources, while the Delhi government spent ~ Rs. 6,857 crore (2017–2022) and barely moved the needle. Maybe such people should be on the oversight board, or…
73 billion litres!!! ⚠️ That’s how much sewage India produces daily. Only 28% of it is treated. The rest? Flows directly into rivers like the Yamuna. That’s why Pankaj Kumar quit his job. Now, every Sunday, his team Earth Warrior cleans the Kalindi Kunj Ghat—one of the Yamuna’s…

The “Valuation Setting Game” happens in real estate too, that too very rampantly, especially during bull times. But unlike financial markets, rarely so-called RE experts calls it out. Every few months we see headlines celebrating the “costliest land” or “record housing deal” in…
Finally Steep Housing Price Fall Story Emerges… But Carefully Packaged Every now and then, we hear from the seller ecosystem that the “premium/luxury housing market is booming.” But the moment data starts showing a steep decline, the narrative quickly shifts suddenly it’s…

RK Damani has discredited himself by getting into the cheap game of validating the IPO valuation of #Lenskart A valuation which cannot cannot be justified by any valuation tool.
And, those investors who rushed to buy nearby real estate in the wave of speculation but couldn’t fly (exit) in time, may end up only being trapped there for a long time. That’s why buying into a speculative frenzy in real estate without strong fundamentals to support it can…
Funny thing recently - for years many Tier 3 towns speculated real estate on respective airport roads because of UDAN airline scheme. Property bubbled up - and then after UDAN scheme ended, almost all routes were shut down leaving airports pretty much vacant.
Is the upcoming airport really about connectivity and new investments.... or something else beneath the surface? If you go by recent reports, it doesn’t seem that many such airports are built to genuinely provide connectivity or attract investments, much like metros in several…
When prime industrial land can deliver 5–10x returns just by sitting idle, why would anyone bother setting up a factory or running any real business on it? This is the core distortion in our ecosystem, speculation pays more than production. To fix this, our industrial and…
Land allotment cancelled for IT firm sitting on prime land parcel in sector 62 since 2008. Good decision but what about multiple other shady firms and non-IT investors people sitting on IT/Ites land in Knowledge Park5 and across Noida sectors @UPGovt timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/up-…
But builders and brokers still continue to say while selling any new project... “RERA Hai Na, Saar…” They showcase the RERA registration number like a quality stamp, but is not! It doesn’t stop bad practices or errant builders to launch projects, it just provides a complaint…
This isn’t just about one builder, it’s about how India’s real estate cycles create their own bubbles of greed and delusion... especially during the boom/upcycle times. Omkar’s story isn’t an exception, it’s a mirror of how greed, unchecked narratives, and systemic complacency…
The Saga of Omkar Realtors: A lesson to be learnt for every new developer and Investor. Read this post till end, you will know how bad Mafia influenced Mumbai RE market was. Omkar Realty was founded in 2003 by Babular Verma and Kamal Kishore Gupta. It took their first…
India’s industrial & warehousing leasing hit a new record of 37 mn sq ft in Jan-Sept 2025, rose ~28% 📈 YoY in top 8 cities. Report noted that strong demand from 3PLs & e/Q-commerce is fueling the leasing growth. City-wise leasing (Jan–Sept 2025) in mn sq.ft. (CBRE) Delhi–NCR:…
Delhi's own ozone layer to protects its citizens from any harmful UV radiation. Or are these clouds which we keep seeing in builders' billboards/ads selling 10cr+ luxury apartments in the sky?
Dwarka Expressway was covered in thick smog today. Imagine the condition of your lungs 😷
Akshay and Twinkle's real estate portfolio sounds quite big at ~ 250-300cr but around only 10% of their total net worth.
It's a dream to see whole India like this. India will be a different country then and people would be living differently too - will be living their lives much happier and healthier.
This should be the norm, not the exception. >Clean roads. >Wide footpaths. >Green surroundings. Indian cities deserve infrastructure built for people, not just for cars.
