Cover Story

It’s been 30 years since I started my journey of Building with Real Rich. While I am a Civil Engineer by education, the foundations of my practical knowledge are built on the experiences I gathered working on our construction sites, understanding ground realities and learning to build not merely projects but communities from ground up. My dream has always been about making India Real Rich, which means, working towards making my nation wealthy and abundant in a truly sustainable way.  To me, real estate transcends bricks and mortar; it is about building a nation by changing its skylines and improving its infrastructure. As I always say, “Real estate is everything.” Indeed! It is the most important part of urbanization. From schools, hospitals, shopping malls, building complexes to highways, overbridges etc., every aspect of urbanization is real estate. Real estate, when we see the big picture, is about community building. Good real estate brings people together and empowers them to thrive.  When I had started my journey, real estate in India was in its nascent stage. The industry as a whole was unorganised. But we were determined to change that. In 1997, Goel Ganga Group implemented ISO 9001. We became the first construction company in India to be certified for quality management and later for environment management. This helped us in delivering Real Rich happiness to everyone – customers, associates, employees and indeed the cities that we worked in. As I delved into the intricacies of real estate development, I witnessed how cities evolve. Take Pune, for instance. It has evolved from a pensioner’s paradise to a thriving city in mere decades. And at the core of this transformation lies real estate. But then, Pune has a unique character that embodies both the beauty of well-planned spaces and the chaos of unplanned developments. On one hand, we have thriving areas like Kharadi and Wakad, bustling with modern infrastructure and greenery that cater to our urban lifestyle. These places represent an ideal vision of urban living, reflecting the progress of our nation. Yet, just a stone’s throw away, many parts of Pune reveal a different reality. Here, unplanned growth has led to narrow lanes, overcrowding, and insufficient basic amenities.  This duality not only illustrates Pune’s evolution but also highlights the broader challenges we face as urban dwellers. Balancing rapid development with sustainable planning is an ongoing process, one that profoundly affects our day-to-day lives and shapes the future of our cities and, by extension, our nation. Living in unplanned areas can significantly impact our quality of life. The frustration of navigating through traffic congestion becomes a daily ritual, while overcrowded public spaces and inadequate infrastructure often leave us feeling disconnected from our community. There’s a hidden cost to this chaos—our mental well-being can suffer in environments that lack harmony and order. Additionally, the environmental implications are striking; pollution levels soar, and green spaces dwindle, robbing us of nature’s calming influence. It is essential to encompass more than just the physical layout of roads and buildings. Effective urban design should create spaces that encourage interaction and promote well-being among residents, reinforcing the social fabric that binds us together as a nation. At the Goel Ganga Group, we have created strong systems and processes in order to implement good urban planning practices. Creating spaces that meet the needs of individuals while enhancing their quality of life has always been our motto.  At Goel Ganga Group, we always aim to create thoughtfully designed spaces that seamlessly blend with their surroundings. Our approach to development prioritises compliance with regulations while crafting environments that enrich lives. Each project we undertake considers the needs of the community and the environment, aiming to merge them seamlessly into the existing urban landscape.  Our real estate solutions are always aligned with the future. Our focus is always on how to cater to every need of our customers in this era of ever-changing requirements. For example, in Ganga Arcadia at Central Kharadi, we have a collection of 2 and 3 BHK homes that include ample amenities for residents to unwind and connect. The homes also come with an unhindered view of the city skyline, a rare thing within the city limits. Ganga Dham Towers in Market Yard is one of Pune’s most stunning expressions of living in true luxury. Its ultra-luxurious features and proximity to essential services allow its residents to live the indulgent, exclusive, close-knit community life right in the middle of Pune. Then there’s Ganga Asmi in Real Wakad, a project very close to my heart. This project includes not only zero-waste layouts, but also communal spaces, riverside walkways and much more, making it a true community hub. While customer needs top the list of our priorities, sustainability is at the forefront of all our projects too. With features like rainwater harvesting, waste management systems etc., we build homes that are a legacy for the future generations. While we are busy creating sustainable communities, Goel Ganga Group is also setting new trends in the commercial sector. Our World Trade Center in Nagpur, is set to revolutionize the retail business in Central India. This mixed-use development is spread across a huge 1.5 million sq.ft. of space. With 165+ international, national and local brands already under its roof, it is sure to redefine the future of retail business. It is India’s first transit-oriented development that has direct access from a Metro Interchange. It also has the largest parking facility in the entire region. It is getting ready to set new benchmarks for all future developments. As someone dedicated to nation building through real estate, I conclude by saying that as we navigate the complexities of urban living, it is vital to keep in our minds that the ultimate goal of urban development is to enrich lives and contribute to the overall growth of our nation. I am happy to say that Goel Ganga Group successfully addresses today’s needs and ensures a sustainable and harmonious future for all.

From Humble Beginnings To Towering Achievements Ankush B. Asabe CHAIRMAN & MANAGING DIRECTOR VENKATESH BUILDCON As I reflect on my 25-year journey in the Real Estate industry, I am reminded of the small village of Solapur where my aspirations first took root. From humble beginnings to becoming a significant player in Pune’s Real Estate market, my journey has been defined by determination, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. My tryst with the world of Real Estate began long before I stepped into the corridors of Civil Engineering. The ambition to delve into the realm of construction and development had already taken root during my high school years. Armed with this determination, I pursued a diploma in Civil Engineering, laying the foundation for what would become a lifelong passion. Following my graduation, I embarked on a five-year stint with a renowned builder in Mumbai, absorbing invaluable insights into the intricacies of the industry. Yet, my thirst for knowledge and understanding led me to explore the role of a contractor for three years, honing my skills and broadening my perspective. In 1994, I made the pivotal decision to set foot in Pune, drawn by its dynamic business landscape and promising opportunities. While initially, I chose to immerse myself in the corporate realm for a year, it wasn’t long before I returned to my roots as a contractor, paving the way for the eventual launch of my first project in 2000 at Katraj-Ambegaon, marking the inception of a new chapter in my journey. Throughout these years, the spectre of failure never loomed over me, a testament to my unwavering self-belief and relentless drive for excellence. Instead of seeking inspiration from external sources, I found motivation within myself, constantly striving for self-improvement and growth in every endeavor I undertook. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges for the Real Estate sector, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the market. However, steadfast in my resolve, I refused to succumb to pessimism, seizing the opportunity to make bold investments, such as acquiring a plot of CDSS (Cummins Diesel sales & Services) in Erandwane, Pune during the peak of the crisis and launching Venkatesh Erandwane Central. While each project marked a milestone in my journey, the Venkatesh Lake Vista project holds a special place in my heart. It was an entrepreneurial leap as my inaugural solo venture in 2010. Completing the project on time and witnessing its success remains etched in my memory, reaffirming my belief in the power of determination and hard work, setting a precedent for timely delivery and unparalleled quality. Reflecting on my experiences, if I were to offer advice to my younger self, it would be to embrace well-informed decisions and embrace risks without fear. The journey of an entrepreneur is fraught with uncertainties, but it is through calculated risks that one paves the path to success. The advent of RERA ushered in a new era for the Real Estate sector, heralding transparency and accountability. For me, it was a validation of the ethos I upheld in my business practices. While some faltered, unable to meet the stringent regulations, I embraced RERA wholeheartedly, recognizing its role in cleansing the industry of malpractices and increasing transparency for customers. Pune’s Real Estate market stands as a testament to its burgeoning potential, fueled by the influx of both domestic and international investors. With a thriving commercial sector and a growing demand for residential spaces, Pune has emerged as a beacon of opportunity for aspiring homeowners and investors alike. As I impart my wisdom to the younger generation entering the industry, I emphasize three non-negotiable mantras: dream big, aim for excellence, and above all, embrace hard work. These principles have been the cornerstone of my journey, guiding me through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. To first-time buyers, I offer a simple yet crucial piece of advice: look beyond the property and scrutinize the brand behind it. Ensure that the builder is reputable, and assess the accessibility of essential amenities and facilities. Adopt a futuristic outlook, envisioning the potential for growth and development in the surrounding area. In closing, my journey epitomizes the essence of determination. From the streets of Solapur to the skyline of Pune, every obstacle has been a stepping stone, propelling me closer to my dreams. As I continue to chart new territories and push the boundaries of success, I am reminded that the true essence of fulfillment lies in the journey itself.   THE NEXT TYCOON As a director at Venkatesh Buildcon, Piyusha, a second-gen entrepreneur at Venkatesh Buildcon, drives strategic development aligning with long-term goals. Her key role is to foster innovation, lead dynamic teams, implement processes, and capitalize on market  opportunities for success.

Legacy Of Standardization In Real Estate              ——— The Ravi Varma NARrative              Chairman, NAR India… Mr. RAVI VARMA is the Chairman of National Association of Realtors India which is a PAN India organization which offers its members an opportunity to give Multi City Solutions to their clients. His journey in Real Estate in his own words………………………….. My NARrative :- I happened to stumble upon the World of Real Estate by chance. I was part of the Second Batch of MBA Graduates from Pune University. When I began working for a Company, due to our busy schedules, my Wife and I had a weekend marriage, where I would visit her on weekends, change my clothes, pack my bags, and head out again. This arrangement meant that my Wife was always looking for activities which would generate money as well as help me to work out of the same city and have some family life. One day, when I came home, she excitedly told me that she had started her own Real Estate Brokerage Company. Intrigued, I asked her to explain it to me. She explained that she shows properties to people, facilitates the sale and receives 2% Commission from each Transaction. As a Marketing Manager for a high-tech Machine Tool Company, I travelled all over the Country, sometimes spending over a year on a single deal due to the high values involved. In comparison, my      Wife’s proposition of working in and around Pune, showing properties, and earning a significant income seemed remarkably simple. Initially, I couldn’t understand why anyone would be willing to pay just  to view properties and facilitate transactions. However, my perspective changed once I joined her in the business. Since she started the company in 1982, I never needed to rely on my Salary, which served as an indicator that her venture  was successful. In 1986, after four years of her running the business, I decided to leave my Job and join her. We saw this as an opportunity to earn money as a young couple, and also have a more time together. From that point on, we never looked back. All I had to do was introduce myself as Mrs. Varma’s Husband, and people already recognized her as a reputable Real Estate Broker. This made it easier for us to establish connections and gain trust from Builders and other Stakeholders in the Industry. When I first entered this Industry, I quickly noticed that some of the individuals whose products I was selling, lacked knowledge of the business and were not very transparent in their dealings. Our credibility was at stake in these situations. Back then, it was possible to make Sales by merely showing  an empty piece of Land, without any knowledge about  the Title or whether the person showing the Land actually  owned it or how the builder would finance the project. This led to the collection of significant amounts of money from buyers which would then be transferred to other Projects. Unfortunately, many of these Projects never materialized. This realization prompted me to understand the importance of having Multiple Sources of Income. I realized that relying solely on brokerage, which involved many variables which were not under our control, was not sustainable. Within three months of joining her, I successfully traded my first piece of Land for a substantial profit in a rising market. In order to maintain purity within Our Profession and avoid confusion with other activities, we continued with the Brokerage Company while establishing another Company specifically for Land Trading. Additionally, we ventured into land development and creating exclusive bungalow societies, which we successfully sold. We also engaged in joint ventures for projects on my lands, and four of them have already been completed. We deliberately avoided entering into the construction business due to our conservative nature and reluctance to borrow money. To this day, we have not borrowed a single paisa from anyone. Key Skill Sets To Sustain In This Business:- Acquire In-depth Knowledge Of The Industry:- It is crucial to familiarize yourself with the unique characteristics and aspects of each vertical within the Real Estate Sector. By studying and understanding the economics and profitability of each vertical, you can effectively add value to your work. Develop Active Listening Skills: – To truly understand your Client’s needs, it is essential to be a good Listener. Patiently listening to your Clients allows you to comprehend their requirements and tailor your Services accordingly. Having empathy towards their needs is the key to offering the RIGHT PRODUCT AT THE RIGHT LOCATION AT A PRICE THE CLIENT WANTS. Master Your Product :- It is imperative to have a thorough understanding of how each amenity and specification of the products you are offering can meet your Client’s needs. In Real Estate, as in any business, customer satisfaction plays a significant role, and being knowledgeable about the product you are offering will help you achieve this goal. Emphasize Transparency :- Clearly communicate the services and benefits your Client’s can expect from you. By being transparent about your offerings and pricing, you enable your Client’s to make informed decisions. If they find a cheaper alternative elsewhere and choose to go with it, respect their decision. Comprehend The Buying Process :- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the decision-making dynamics within the purchasing process. Identify the key decision-makers, the financing parties, the initiators, and the end users. Continuously focus on recognizing and understanding these roles to serve you clients more effectively. Uphold Ethical And Professional Standards :- Maintain integrity and professionalism in all your dealings. Provide accurate and honest information to your Client’s. Quoting excessively high prices may drive Client’s away, while quoting excessively low prices may undermine your credibility. Strive for fair and transparent communication at all times.

However, he never gave up on his dreams and started his own businesses in various fields, including FMCG Trading.

From there, his Company took off, with the development of a gated community of more than 225 villas in Kasaar, Amboli, as well as a resort and villas in Temghar, near Lavasa. The company is also venturing into the field of Solar Energy through Suratwwala Natural Energy Resource (launched in 2023), providing net metering and contracting services. Jaatin’s principles of deep learning the business ecosystem and keeping the customer at the center have been crucial to his success. He is acutely aware of what his customers want and expect, and he delivers on those expectations. His philosophy of keeping customer satisfaction at the forefront of every project has been key to his success. Jaatin has stated, “Our real income is the happiness on the customer’s face when he gets possession of his house.” The Real Estate Industry has undergone significant transformations in recent years, with the introduction of transparency measures like MAHARERA. Jaatin supports such measures, stating that they have increased reliability and reduced instances of cheating, ultimately benefiting both, the industry and the customer.

His journey from a Metallurgical Engineer to the Founder and Chairman of Suratwwala Business Group is a testament to his perseverance and commitment.

He believes that over-trading is the only chance of failure in Real Estate and advises taking only as much risk as one can handle. As he puts it, “keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, while you look towards the sky.” Jaatin advocates hard work and trust in the process, even when faced with challenges. He believes that every loss is a gain and treats all his mistakes and losses as experience points. “Every challenge is an opportunity,” he says, “and I have learned from every one of them.” For Jaatin, the core values of trust, quality, and commitment are crucial to succeeding in the Real Estate Industry.

Speaking volumes of success! A leading realtor, Satish Magar came into this profession purely by chance. The Magar’s had ancestral property that was within city limits. According to 1982 draft, it was proposed that this land would have to be surrendered for construction to meet the needs of growing urbanisation. In 1987, they gave a tough fight to retain the agricultural status of this land. However, people around began construction of buildings and it was not possible to stay as an island in the city. So, they gradually started development. Inclusive growth was the main concept. They grew by partnering with land-owners and entrepreneurs. They always lived in harmony. They had accepted that they could not pursue agriculture any more. Industrial acquisition and construction were growing rapidly. They realized that they had to go with the change and so they gave their hearts to it. After success of Magarpatta they felt as if they could do anything. They moved on to Nanded city project. They proceeded in the same fashion by bringing farmers together. Within no time they had 7500 bookings in hand at a very good rate but the plan was not yet sanctioned though they had taken environment clearance. They peeped within to see whether they had the capability to build so many flats on their own. Sensing incapability, they had to return people’s money and restart. There is no point in becoming over ambitious. One should first build one’s capability and then take up huge projects. They had to survive in the gap of 1.5 years. The market had changed, speculative buyers were in competition. They learnt a lesson that one should always deliver what has been promised. There should be no compromise in quality. Post pandemic requirement was for an additional room; taking isolation and work-for-home scenario into consideration. Earlier there would always be an extra room which got replaced in flat culture. Each one wants his or her own house. This urge gave a boost to this business. Pandemic also brought in digitalization and e-commerce. New changes were on the threshold and Satish Magar foresaw how Pune would be a hub of growing digital business. According to Satish Magar, realtors create assets that are permanent and have emotional value too. They provide not just houses, but homes that have psychological bonds too. He also reflects on the last two years of the pandemic when every profession faced a set-back. Financial discipline is very necessary to combat unforeseen problems. Only then can one sustain. He also underlines that they were wrong in not using social media for advertising and for underestimating the power of channel-partnering. They have taken up these two things and decided to aggressively market their schemes. He advises newbies that there is no substitute for hard-work. One should do what one can and not what one wants! Sincerity and discipline in work takes you a long way. Mr. Satish D Magar President CREDAI National Founder of Magarpatta township development and construction co Ltd
