 All right, so well on that note, I'd now like to invite on stage Ms. Sapna Srivastava. She's the editor of Realty Plus. So let's give a round of applause and let's welcome Sapna back on stage. Good evening everyone, our distinguished guests, our eminent speakers of the afternoon. Some of them are here joining us in the evening also. So as Kavya mentioned, we had a great start to the evening. Our speakers in the afternoon, we had some very interesting session, we had some great speakers and experts on the panel and thanks to them, we have had a great start to this evening. Keeping it very short because I know everyone is waiting for the awards to start. Just to give you a brief on what new we are coming up with is our anniversary issue, which will be released in January next year. And it promises to be a very good read that I can assure you all. Our next coffee table book, which is Homes for All on the Budget Housing Projects from across the country, we like to call it, we have defined it as value for money homes rather than affordable housing. That is what we are going by and this coffee table book is also going to come out soon. Interior Exterior Awards, again as I mentioned in the afternoon, it is almost a decade of felicitating and recognizing the real estate professionals. Now it is for the building construction materials industry that we would like to acknowledge their contribution and these Interior Exterior Awards will recognize the product design and application, branding and marketing, product consumer, centric technology that they have brought in and also the market year of the year awards. So friends, we look forward to a great evening. I would like to say the quality and the standards of the entries is going up every year. It is so heartening to see that the entire real estate industry is growing in terms of quality and standards. So without taking any more time, I wish to congratulate all the winners of the evening and I also like to thank everyone for their participation in the Realty Plus Excellence Awards. I now invite Anurag Bhatra, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Exchange for Media Group and Business World to please come on stage and share his thoughts. Mr. Bhatra. Let me not stay between you and the award winner. Let me say what Elizabeth Taylor said to many suitors. I won't keep you long. It's inspired by our conversation. So, you know, Anush told you that I had a real estate background, but I just, Anush is not here. So I'll say it now that he's not here. You know, in life, my father also, he went to Bitspilani. He chose to be a professor of chemistry. My partner, Nawal, is the Nawal's man. We went to the same engineering school, of course. He went, he's junior to me. Only two batches. I know I look much more senior. But my father, when we started the company and me, Amit and Nawal started, you know, always believed his, and Nawal's father was the Executive Director of IFCI. Again, one of the most honest people I've met in my life. I mean, he was in a, then he became the managing director of the IFCI venture capital fund. And both our parents are very, very honest. I can say that. And so they believe, at least my father believed that, if you bear an entrepreneur, you're doing something wrong to get ahead. Because, you know, you don't get ahead of my, that's the belief system, at least the old. But I can, and similarly, there's a belief system that nice guys finish last. I can tell you, Anuj is a very good example that nice guys don't finish last. I've worked with him for two years intensely. And I can tell you, he's one of the nicest people I know, the most ethical. And a lot of good things in communication I learned. I learned from Anuj. Anuj was very prompt to respond to a letter, very specific. He used to use a dictaphone and, you know, that's one habit I haven't used. But I just want to say that, you know, he's created a breed of real estate leaders. I was telling Mr. Purvankara, the Dhritesh Vora, who's the, many, all of them, Rami, I can drop 20 names. But they all, we all worked with Anuj and learned a lot from him, of course. Anuj remains a friend in our first port of call for anything in real estate. At least my first port of call for anything in real estate. And I was telling Anuj, I went to see him till the car because I have tremendous respect and affection for him, that, you know, I meet a lot of people. And Anuj is a, you know, Mr. Vahad Vani said, you know, Maybe Madhuri Dixit, that movie came and Maybe Anuj Puri, I want to be in real estate. I think that the only guy who can give competition to Anuj is you. And I said, seriously, I have some common friends and they tell me things about you and how you are aggressive and how you're building a differentiated service quality and how you're building a network and the track record. So I think the real estate industry is changing. And lots of ethical, honest, qualified people who could have been in any domain. Are in the real estate domain, either developers or intermediaries or in the investment space. So this traditional view of real estate that because they deal with bureaucrats and politicians, you know, they have to be like them. Okay, like nice guys. That's what I mean. So I think I want to change that. I took names of, I'm sure you might tell me, you know, like a lot of people tell me, oh, you guys are from the media. So I tell them the media guys haven't come from Mars, Venus. You know, we are normal people. In fact, I have this joke that I share. This is a real life story. There's a friend of mine, a large industrialist, I won't take his name. He did some scam. And of course the media went after him. And so, so he always tells me, you know, you guys from the media, you're such. And maybe some guy's blackmail name, whatever. I mean, I know this exact, but he has a certain viewpoint on media. So I met him about six, seven years back. I went to a blood donation camp, my journalist and editor friends that organized, I didn't give away blood, but I was there. So I saw all the editors, almost all the TV editors, newspaper editors, lots of media owners were there. And I called my friend and, you know, let's say Mr. Mehra, I called Mr. Mehra. And I said, Mr. Mehra, all the media people are here. And even his blood is as red as ours. So Mr. Mehra said, ours must be red. So, you know, again, this, you know, there's a new normal. You can't generalize, you know, real estate guys are like this. Media guys are like this. I think you don't have to have the background. I went to an engineering school, then went to a business school. Me and I was started a media company. So you don't have to be in Donald Trump, whether you like him or not like him. I don't like him. In fact, if you'd like to know why Donald Trump won, I can tell you. Would you like to know why he won? You know, my nutritional therapist and friend, Rachna Chachi says, not that I follow her too much. I used to at one point, right? She told me that if you eat junk food, your brain makes the wrong choices. So Americans have been eating junk food for 60 years. One day they had to pay for it. So, in fact, I keep saying, and I could get in trouble, but I'd say, you know, Donald Trump is so bad that he makes Modi look good, right? Our Prime Minister is great. He's one of the greatest leaders the world has ever produced, especially he's a Gujarati. But jokes about, he's a doer and again, he's bringing cleanliness. So you don't have to, the old notions of what somebody used to do is the right way and the normal way of doing business has changed. So I'm sure with RERA, with GST, with demonetization, with more professionalism, because survival of the fittest will kick in in the real way now. So you have to deliver the product. You have to work on a real business model, which means real money, really accounted for. So I think consumers will have more choice to choose from, so to say, because the established players will, will in some way be differentiated, but be similar, so they will have choice to choose from. And I can tell you that whatever little real estate we buy, media is not like, it's the big business of small people, right? In money terms, you know? Or they say it's the small business of big people. I even epitomized that. But whatever I bought, I bought branded, I bought DLF in Delhi. You wouldn't bought anything else. Did buy one. Ambience. So branded, I think brands will matter. More and more and brands are about purpose. They're not just about building an icon. For example, in the morning, the first session was about mobility. But in India, we don't look at people who are specially able. You know, look at all our public spaces, even new buildings. We haven't figured out what should we do with people who are special. Because we haven't built it for them. Even our airlines, anything. So I think that mindset to everything is changing. We're part of that change. And I'm sure that leaders in this room who will be awarded today will take upon themselves to be responsible to take this change right through the end. I also believe that the golden period of real estate is from now. Because it will separate the shaft from the grain. The real players, and not necessarily deep pockets. Of course deep pockets always help. But as I said, the margins will squeeze. Unless until you can build a differentiated product. I mean, DLF really charges so much money because of the fact that you know that a DLF product will get delivered. And this is of a certain quality. I can tell you that, you know, my wife tells me in this much, money we can buy a landed house, why are you buying a flat. But you feel a certain comfort, the quality of occupant. So similarly, in every product, I think category residential, commercial, warehousing. We don't talk about lots of not so sexy stuff like warehousing. Today one of the biggest categories that is growing is warehousing. I mean, that's also real estate. We don't talk of educational, you know, real estate around education. Though it's an infancy. And again, you need scale there. You can't just do it in one city. You got to do a big scale. I'm trying to show them why no little bit of real estate, right? So I genuinely believe that there'll be new trends. Co-working is in a new form of value addition to real estate. But co-working is not about real estate. It's about the softer things that go with it. And again, scale. So I wish you well. I believe that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I think in the room, we have the toughest in the real estate space. Enhance the best. I wish you luck in creating icons for future and making sure you fulfill the vision of the Prime Minister in terms of giving housing for all. Affordable is another, I know a developer in Delhi last time. Two years back, I brought him to the Bombay event. And he's very rustic. His uncle was the Chief Minister of Delhi. So he's very rustic. He's a jat from Delhi. And when Baman Irani or Rustamji asked him, so what do you do? He says, I do the Parle G of housing, right? The Parle G, the basic. Now that segment with what the government is doing is going to explode. I hope some of you take it and brand it because people have built portfolios. Look at what DHFL has done on the back of affordable housing financing. So there is a new India. The best years of India are ahead of it. That I can promise you, you don't have to go to a good business school or Harvard to know that for that matter. I wish that some of the people who are awarded today continue to do well and are role models for other people in the room. Thank you for being a part of Reality Plus Concrete. God bless you. Thank you very much, Mr. Bhattrak for opening up a Pandora's box of insights as well. And thank you very much for setting the tone for the evening. Well, ladies and gentlemen, before we march ahead with the much awaited award segment for the evening, we'd also like to take the opportunity to honour some of the eminent personalities in today's gathering. It is our way to recognise excellence and appreciate valuable contribution that's been made by them in the real estate sector. So before that, I'm also going to request the scroll of honour winners to please be seated because towards the end, we'll have the group photograph as well. And we'd also like to acknowledge Kajaria ceramics limited for their support to the Reality Plus in this initiative. Before we get started, once again, let's take a look at the AV please. And on that note, we present to you the Reality Plus scroll of honour. To do the honours, I'm going to invite on stage Mr. Anurag Bhattra, Mr. Nawal Ahuja. May I also invite Mr. Suresh Bagra and Mr. Nagendra from Kajaria ceramics to please come on stage. So on that note, let's get started with the presentation of the scroll of honour. And our first recipient for the evening, ladies and gentlemen, is the founder and chairman of Purvankara Limited, Mr. Ravi Purvankara. So please put your hands together. I'm going to request his son, Ashish Purvankara, the managing director of Purvankara Limited to please come on stage and receive the honour on behalf of us. That's right, as Mr. Bhattra always says, you don't get taxed to clap your hands. So we'll keep doing that, not yet. Ladies and gentlemen, our next recipient of the scroll of honour, may I please invite on stage Mr. Ravi Indrapai, managing director, the Century Real Estate Holdings Private Limited. We often hear that we shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us. So let's march ahead to also invite our next recipient of the scroll of honour trophy. May I please invite Mr. Anoop Shah, founder and partner, Anoop S. Shah Law Firm. And on that note, let's keep the applause going as I now invite on stage Dr. Benny Kuriakos to please come forward to receive the scroll of honour. Please give the applause going, ladies and gentlemen. The next recipient of the scroll of honour, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. R. Jai Shankar, the Chairman and Managing Director of the Brigade Group. We'd like to request Ms. Nehrupa Shankar and Mr. Amar Mysore to please come on stage to receive the honour on this panel. We have with us Mr. Amar Mysore, his nephew to receive the honour on behalf of Mr. R. Jai Shankar. Ladies and gentlemen, on that note, our next recipient of the scroll of honour, architects Nalini and Sharad Kembavi, partners of the Kembavi architects. I'd like to request the son and daughter-in-law, architects Indrajeet and Neeta Kembavi to please come on stage to receive the honour. You see, that's a long walk. I think we need to complete with a round of applause. Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue to recognise the excellence and the contribution in the real estate sector and it's now time to honour architect Prem Chandavarkar, the managing partner of CNT Architects. Ladies and gentlemen, up next, we'd now like to invite on stage Mr. Raja Bagmane, the Chairman and Managing Director of Bagmane Group to please come on stage and receive the scroll of honour. Well, if I may request Mr. Bagmane to please remain on the stage, I'm going to also request the scroll of honour recipients to please come on stage for the group photograph as well. Now that calls for the loudest round of applause. Ladies and gentlemen, some of the stall was right here on the stage and it's not over until it's over as they say. I'm going to request you to please remain on the stage as well. We have another very important segment for all of you as well and as a part of the next segment, I'm also going to request Mr. Amit Badwani to please join all of our scroll of honour recipients along with our dignitaries on the stage. This part of the presentation is the Mughals of Real Estate. Ladies and gentlemen, this is where we unveil the coffee table book which actually showcases the top 100 developers for the year 2017, the Mughals of Real Estate. The book was unveiled in Mumbai in September this year and now is being exhibited across the country at the Realty Plus events by the dignitaries as well as the respective honourable winners as well. So ladies and gentlemen, let's have the coffee table on the stage please and let's have all of our dignitaries come together for the unveiling of the Mughals of Real Estate. We're going to request all of you to please unveil the coffee table book as well. The Mughals of Real Estate book lists out the leading Real Estate players of India in the year 2017, summarises and presents the personal and professional profile of the individuals leading the organisation from the front. All right, so we'll carry forward that momentum. We'll march ahead, but first up, I'm going to be inviting on stage Mr. Amit Vardwani as well. In fact, we have a very interesting and a very interactive session in store apparently. So I'm going to be requesting Mr. Vardwani to please come on the stage. He's the director of SAIA State Consultants and ISO and Crystal Certified Real Estate Organisation. In fact, under his guidance, the company provides genuine consultation to buyers as well as sellers to help acquire value for money deals. So please put your hands together and let's hear it from Mr. Amit Vardwani. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is the third tough task that has been given to me in this one week to speak after the chief minister of Maharashtra, to speak after Mr. Niranjan Higandandani and now to speak after Mr. Anugag Bhatra. But I'll still try and keep it slightly interesting. So it was very, very nice to be in Bangalore because what I learned, which is something that I did not know, that the real estate environment and the developers speak so very positive and there is a huge demand because we don't have an office here in Bangalore to tell you a little bit about our company because we are new to Bangalore. This is a company which I started in the year 2010 and started as a vanilla broker. In 2010, I'm sure Mr. Bhatra would not have noticed me. I'm sure one of his flights I must have served him some tea, coffee or hot breakfast because I used to work as a flight steward. You don't travel? Take to travel. So yeah, so that's my story. So I was a flight steward for about six years and I feel today if I understand the Indian consumers better, it's because of my experience of understanding somebody on a 30 alpha who would want, when he wants a non-veg he wants a non-veg he will not take a vegetarian stuff, you know. And if he wants hot coffee, the coffee has to be really hot. So, you know, out of me about 350, 400 boys and girls who work with us today, when they come back and they tell me the client is behaving a little tough because he wants, he doesn't want an hydraulic car park. In Mumbai, we have an issue in terms of parking space. So we have a lot of these stack hydraulic park on park on systems. You know, I tell all these guys that if somebody who on a jetlight flight paid 15 rupees for a cup of coffee and wanted it exactly the way he or she wanted, somebody who's paying 2 lakh rupees for a car park, by the way, we are allowed to sell car park as per the way I say this, requires every bit of attention and you know, the product that has been promised. So coming back to where we were, now we are in Delhi, we are also in Dubai, we are also in all of our offices in Mumbai. Talking about Dima, and I was very, very delighted to hear that developers are seeing an upward trend in demand because I have been saying that, saying this continuously that I have never seen in the last 10 months or 12 months where demand has been going down. So we used to do about 220 to about 250 units per week and this weekend we hope we will do about 300 units. So if you look at the number of units that we have been selling with a ticket size of about 60 to 80 lakh rupees in the city of Mumbai, Thane, Navi, Mumbai, MMR, as one zone put together has always been going up. One important observation in that zone is that consumers after RERA, or for that matter before RERA, are not interested in taking a developer to court. I come from a middle-class background and if you ask me, if I buy a flat, am I, I'm not interested to take a developer to court. I want the house that I have purchased, I want the amenities that has been promised to me. So with or without RERA, as long as developers continue to fulfill their promises, I don't see demand going up. I have about a couple of ladies from my organization here and they'll tell you that they have been going at what, 60% at least every year. So a small company like me and a debt-free company like me, we have not really borrowed a rupee from any of the banks or PE guys, though they have been after us because we are known to be in that, you know, the Patanjali of the Indian real estate where I don't go to Mandalay very often. I don't go to Dubai or Middle East any often. So I don't get my monies from Mandalay or anywhere in the Middle East. So to say, each and every rupee that we spend is organically generated by the money that I get, get paid from the developers, which is again a tough task, you know. So getting money from developers has always been a challenge. A few of my friends on the first row will second what I've been saying, but you know, as long as you do a fantabulous job, you know, you occupy that space where developers are on a high horse, you know, as per the perception in the market, as far as the consumer is concerned, you need to mitigate that gap and you know, not all developers get up in the morning and say that today I'm going to do a bad job. I don't know anybody who wakes up in the morning and says, today I'm going to do a bad job. But then somewhere, you know, the entire last 20, 25 years, I come from the airline background, I feel 2017 will be a cabin divider. We had a cabin divider between economy and premier class. It will be a cabin divider how 20 years earlier, we arrested Becha Khareeda Jata or Banaya Jata or when we are in 2030, 2035, we will remember 2017 as a year that this year changed everything. Probably you had thinner margins. I always saw, I do these radio shows in the morning where people call up and ask me, there's a segment called Ask Amit. Should I buy a real estate? And many a times, I ask them a question, why do you want to buy a real estate? So they come back and tell me, I mean in India, my mom says, you need to buy a flat. My wife says, what is my security? I need to buy a flat. I tell them, if these are the reasons, then go ahead and buy a flat. But if you're going to tell me that I want to buy a flat to make money with a 17% entry load in our state, I would rather tell you if you're going to invest, I was having a conversation with Mr. Batra. I told him, don't buy a real estate if you're an investor. That is my personal view on the subject. But if you're an end user, the next two and a half to three years, sorry, it could be very exciting for somebody who's actually planning to have a home and move into that space. So having said this, I feel that we are in a zone which is, with GST, there are demonetization is slightly stressful for everybody to absorb. But I have a contra view on the subject where developers and the fraternity has grown from 2000, 2010 to 2015 where we have a little bit of slump since the last about eight to 10 months when you look at a say an NCR zone where there's a lot of blood. I feel Mumbai is doing well. MMR is doing well. Pune is doing very well. I heard West Bengal is doing well. Chennai, Bangalore are also picking up doing very, very well. And I fail to believe why a city like Mumbai will not do well with water on three sides. Where is the chance to acquire more land? And if I throw a question open here saying that do you want to buy your next house? If you're staying in a penthouse do you want to upgrade? If I tell you you're driving a five series do you want to go to a seven series? Probably you will tell me that I don't know I'm happy with a five series. But a house is such a thing which I feel in every family you are 60 years old or you are 25 years old you will always feel that yes, I should go to the next mile. So I think we are all lucky and I am luckier because I have I say this often I have age on my side and I don't have dreams of becoming a developer ever. So I will always occupy this Patanjali space of Indian broking and will continue to add value to this segment. I'm very excited to be here and born in this era where India is I say this I have nothing to do with politics from where I come from but you look at our current chief minister in Maharashtra and the current prime minister across in the center I feel of of what I have seen in my consciousness are the most dynamic helpful and for the state and the country if you look at the policies most of the policies most of the policies I'll take this addition one minute and tell you because I though we have offices in Delhi and Dubai also now but my growth started from this place called Chimbu in Mumbai I get this opportunity to meet the CM very often these days what has the CM got to do with a person like me but he's still given me a cell phone number and said if there's anything that you want send me a text message I will not be able to take your call but I will respond back the chief minister of Maharashtra is so interactive you you speak to him at a session and he will always tell you okay if you don't you want this this is a line title if there's a reservation in the forum with Narit Koh and MCHR we often have dialogues with him he will always say okay see you at 4 o'clock with the BMC commissioner with the assistant commissioner there is solution provided at least in the last 15 years from the time that I have been politically conscious and understanding how media and we are the state and politics all together functions together I feel that we are only lucky to be in this era which is extremely bullish positive there could be slight pain for the next 6 to 8 months but I feel that going forward in 2018-19 things will improve in terms of demand in terms of for brokers for bankers for developers for consumers for analyze all together and I take this pledge that what size state consultants have been doing relentlessly and we're talking a little more about Sai we are looking at an IPO by 2019-20 and I'm sure every Indian will be proud about the fact that here is one company we have many banking IPOs we have many infra IPOs but by 2019 when my company gets listed as the first IPO of a broker of a vanilla broker from Indian soil with no help from foreign whatsoever I'm sure everybody will be very very proud thank you very much thank you very much Amit it's amazing to see the way you can ensure that the passion and the energy that you have you get to transfer that across the audience and it's wonderful to get us to start the awards also on a very optimistic note so thank you so much once again ladies and gentlemen and with that let's get started with the Realty Plus Excellence Awards 2017 South but for that let's take a look at this beautiful audio visual presentation we have for you Oh I'm delighted to come over here to the Realty Plus Awards

Nirupa I'm going to, I'm going to request you to remain on the stage because I'm reminded of this quote that a woman on a mission needs no permission. So firstly let's have a huge round of applause one more time for Nirupa. I'm going to request you to share a few words with the audience. I wasn't expecting that but anyway I always say it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. So always do what you need to do and then figure it out. But thank you very much for this award. I know that you know questions we normally get asked by any media is that you know there aren't too many women in real estate and all those kind of questions and I honestly don't know how to answer those because I've always been raised to focus on my job and not my gender. So even when I got this award of you know woman CX of the year I was like why is there a separate category for a woman and a man so that I asked one of the editors that but anyway so I said I wish it was just CX of the year and not just woman CX of the year. But in any case you know like I said I think when I spoke to the editors of the magazine they said it is to encourage other women and I completely buy that so I'm glad that there is this focus to encourage more women in the space and I'm happy that in the end there is an award such as this. So thank you very much and I'll do my best to make the industry proud as well. Thank you. Thank you very much and that's beautifully said I think our editors are taking note of that as well. So in our next edition we're gonna have just the CXO of the year. In fact that is our next subcategory which is CXO of the year. So let's take a look. Next subcategory CXO of the year. The C level executive who is displayed innovation and sound business strategies is an expert in his specific profession and a motivational leader making him a prominent figure of the industry and the award goes to Ashish Arpurvankara, Managing Director Purvankara Ltd.

I wasn't expecting this. It was a last-minute entry. I was forced by my employees to do that.
