How a mandate-first philosophy and 20+ years of combined expertise are redefining the way Pune’s real estate projects go to market In a city where real estate developments rise faster than market intelligence can keep pace, one firm has quietly redefined what it means to be a true partner to developers, landowners, investors, and homebuyers alike. 24 Dimensions is not a brokerage. It is not a marketing agency. It is, by deliberate design, Pune’s mandate-led real estate growth partner — a distinction the company’s four founding directors carry with conviction born from more than two decades of combined industry experience. Founded by Mr. Bipin Lodha (Director, Sales & CRM), Mr. Gitesh Sakla (Director, Land & Compliance), Mrs. Poonam Jain (Director, Brand & Communication), and Mr. Jatin Thakkar (Director, Sales, Marketing Strategy & Operations), 24 Dimensions emerged from a shared recognition of a structural problem in Pune’s real estate ecosystem. Developers were managing sales, branding, compliance, channel partnerships, and customer relations through fragmented agencies — and the results showed. Projects stalled, positioning misfired, and trust eroded.  “When we take a mandate, we treat the project as our own,” the leadership team explains — and that single sentence captures the company’s defining philosophy. Mandate Means Ownership is not a tagline at 24 Dimensions; it is an operating principle. From pre-launch product and pricing advisory to structured sales execution, channel partner activation, and post-handover customer relationship management, the firm assumes end-to-end accountability — something no traditional brokerage model can credibly offer. At the core of every mandate engagement is the firm’s Pune-first thinking. Rather than applying broad national market formulas, 24 Dimensions works from the micro-market upward — mapping buyer behaviour, competitive benchmarks, and infrastructure trajectories specific to each locality. This granular intelligence shapes pricing strategy, product mix recommendations, and go-to-market positioning that directly improves inventory absorption.  The challenges that 24 Dimensions routinely solves are telling of what the market truly demands. Developers struggling to differentiate in crowded segments gain a clearly defined value proposition backed by data. Landowners uncertain of how to unlock the potential of their assets receive structured feasibility and development advisory. Investors navigating an increasingly complex landscape get curated, transparency-first guidance rather than high-pressure selling. And homebuyers — often overwhelmed by information — find a calm, accountable hand from site visit through registration. The firm’s values — integrity, accountability, excellence, partnership, and innovation — are not aspirational poster copy. They are the architecture of how decisions get made. RERA compliance, transparent reporting, and disciplined sales processes are standard operating procedure, not optional add-ons. As the leadership puts it: “Structure beats chance. A clear process, data, and reviews will always outperform one-off campaigns or gut-feel decisions.” On the broader market, the 24 Dimensions leadership reads the current moment with studied clarity. India’s real estate sector is shifting from a transaction-driven industry to a value-driven, experience-led ecosystem. Infrastructure corridors are rewriting demand maps. Premium and lifestyle housing is outpacing commodity segments. Plotted developments are finding a renewed appetite among investors and end-users alike. Against this backdrop, the company’s belief is unambiguous: the future of real estate will be shaped by three forces — Infrastructure, Lifestyle, and Trust. That third force — trust — is perhaps the most consequential signal of where 24 Dimensions is headed. In a market crowded with agencies chasing commissions, a firm that positions trust as its core product stands apart. With eight years of operational history beneath a leadership team carrying over 20 years of deep Pune real estate expertise, 24 Dimensions is building something harder to replicate than a sales process: a reputation. Its long-term vision is to scale across markets as India’s leading mandate-led real estate partner — bringing the same disciplined accountability that has defined its Pune practice to developers and investors nationwide. In a city, and an industry, that rarely rewards patience, 24 Dimensions is making a compelling case that it does.

Work on t h e extended Pune Metro Phase-1 corridor from Swargate to Katraj, which is set to become a major milestone in Pune city’s public transportation system, is progressing rapidly. As part of the construction of this 5.46 km fully underground metro route, work on casting the first tunnel segments began on 12th May 2026. These specially designed concrete segments will be installed by the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) during tunnel construction to strengthen and support the underground tunnel structure. The work was formally inaugurated by Maha Metro Managing Director Shri Shravan Hardikar in the presence of senior officials. On this occasion, Maha Metro Directors Shri Atul Gadgil (Works), Shri Vinodkumar Agrawal (Systems & Operations), and Shri Harendra Pandey (Finance) were present along with senior officials and staff of Pune Metro and representatives from the contractor company CEM India. The Swargate to Katraj route is completely underground and will be constructed using state-of-the-art Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). Precast RCC segments are used for the internal reinforcement of the tunnel. A total of 6,993 rings will be cast for the 9.7 km twin-tunnel stretch. Each ring will consist of a 5+ 1 configuration (segments + key segment). Eight special moulds from CBE Group are being used for this work. The tunnel will have an external diameter of 6.35 metres and an internal diameter of 5.8 metres. Each segment will have a thickness of 275 mm, while the width of each ring will be 1.4 metres. The extended Swargate to Katraj corridor will connect the southern parts of Pune to the metro network. A total of five important underground stations are planned on this route: 1 Market Yard 2. Bibwewadi 3. Padmavati 4. Balajinagar 5. Katraj Reviewing the progress of the project, Maha Metro Managing Director Shri Shravan Hardikar said, “The Swargate to Katraj corridor is extremely important for the citizens of Pune. The commencement of casting work for the first tunnel segments reflects the steady progress of this project. Our objective is to complete the work within the stipulated timeline while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety. This corridor will significantly help reduce traffic congestion in areas such as Swargate, Dhankawadi, Padmavati, and Katraj, while also saving commuters’ time and fuel.

Imagine stepping inside your home or office and instantly feeling the calm of a lush, sun-dappled garden. In today’s fast-paced urban world, we often find ourselves trapped within plain concrete walls, disconnected from the natural world. However, a growing design movement is changing that. Welcome to “interiorscaping”—the art of translating outdoor landscape design into indoor spaces to create refreshing green sanctuaries. Interiorscaping goes far beyond simply placing a single potted plant in a dusty corner. It is a thoughtful design process that mirrors the plains, angles, and horizons of the outdoors. By blending living foliage with specialized hardscape elements, designers can craft everything from cozy, breathing corners to grand indoor courtyards that serve as gathering or relaxing hubs. The Elements of Indoor Nature To successfully bring the outdoors in, look beyond the traditional flowerpot. True interiorscaping incorporates a variety of rich textures and sensory design elements with best combination of plants. Hardscapes and Decks Warm wooden decking and geometric flooring patterns create a defined patio feel right inside your living room or lobby. Water Cascades A small, indoor water fountain introduces the gentle, soothing sound of moving water, instantly masking harsh city noises. Shade and Lighting Semi-covered structures combined with strategic artificial lighting mimic the natural dappled sunlight of a forest canopy. Outdoor Furniture Integrating cozy swings and weather-resistant lounge furniture encourages inhabitants to sit, slow down, and breathe deeply. Why Your Space Needs Greenery? Bringing nature inside offers profound scientific and psychological benefits. Plants act as natural air purifiers; they consume carbon dioxide, release fresh oxygen, and naturally filter out common indoor toxins while keeping indoor temperatures cool. Beyond the physical health benefits, leafy green environments drastically reduce stress levels, boost daily productivity, and lower ambient background noise by absorbing echo. Choosing the Right Plants The secret to a thriving indoor landscape lies in matching the right plant to the right light conditions: For the Interior Core (Lobbies, Living Areas) Choose resilient varieties that love indirect sunlight. Snake plants, Pothos ivy, Peace Lilies, Spider plants, and elegant Rubber plants are perfect, low-maintenance choices. For Open Areas (Terraces, Balconies, and Courtyards) Embrace plants that love fresh air and sunshine. Bright Bougainvillea, fragrant Mogra (Jasmine), Areca Palms, and sacred Tulsi thrive beautifully in these open zones. Ultimately, successful interiorscaping balances available square footage, ambient light, and client requirements. By introducing these natural rhythms into our indoor architecture, we don’t just decorate a room—we design a healthier, happier lifestyle.

What if the most important wellness decision you make is not choosing a gym membership or planning a weekend retreat, but choosing the right home? As boundaries between work and life continue to blur and technology and modern lifestyles keep us constantly connected as something we pursue occasionally. In a world that rarely slows down wellness must be ingrained into the way we live. It is this belief that inspired Gera’s WellnessCentric Homes™, a first-of-its-kind residential category designed to help people not only live, but live unstoppable.

Residents can participate in Pilates programmes inspired by Yasmin Karachiwala, receive nutrition guidance from Nicole Kedia, or experience Aqua Aerobics with Olympian, Nisha Millet. “These expert-led experiences are complemented by a premium branded gym, indoor yoga spaces, jogging tracks, badminton and squash courts, multipurpose halls, a minitheatre, and dedicated play areas for children.” Together, they create opportunities to move more, recover better, learn continuously, and build stronger connections with family, friends, and neighbours.
