Remembering Late Shri Murari Chaturvedi

Shri Murari Chaturvedi, India’s first real estate journalist, revolutionized the way the real estate sector was analyzed and documented. In 1971, he founded Accommodation Times, a pioneering newspaper that set the benchmark for industry journalism. His influential editorials shaped government policies, while his research aided renowned organizations like Dow Jones, CRISIL, and CIDCO.

Shri Chaturvedi’s integrity was legendary. His famous credo, "I have never sold my pen to a liar or voted to my personal advantage," embodies his unwavering ethics. His remarkable contributions earned him numerous accolades, including an honor from former President Dr. Abdul Kalam at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

On his 86th Birth Anniversary, we celebrate this visionary whose legacy inspires generations of professionals and thought leaders in real estate.

China Real Estate Crisis and Learnings for India

China's real estate industry once flourished with rapid growth, optimizing resource flows and capitalizing on the nation's booming urbanization. However, this aggressive expansion soon led to unforeseen consequences. Mega-cities, once bustling with promise, are now filled with empty buildings—ghost towns, as demand failed to keep pace with construction. What went wrong in this high-stakes race?

• Is India Heading in the Same Direction?
  With India’s real estate market showing signs of similar aggressive growth, there are concerns about repeating China’s mistakes. Urbanization is on the rise, and cities are expanding rapidly. However, the key question remains: will demand continue to meet supply, or will we face the same fate of oversupply?

• What Needs to Change?
  India must learn from China’s experience. The focus must shift from rapid construction to sustainable growth, with careful planning based on actual demand and population trends. A balanced approach, backed by research, is vital for long-term success in the real estate sector.

• Get insights from renowned faculty members to understand the critical shifts required for India's real estate future.
