Commenting on the launch of the GROHE Hurun India Real Estate Rich List 2018, Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and chief researcher, Hurun Report India said, “The real estate sector in India has always been among the key wealth creators in the country. The combined wealth of the top 100 names listed by us in 2018 stands at USD 32.3 billion – or in other words, a billion dollars more than the GDP of Cyprus. It is also an industry that demands patience and persistence, with the average age of the participants on the list hovering around 59 years and accounting for 59 per cent of the first generation entrepreneurs. India perhaps accounts for the largest population of homeless people in the world and aptly, the government is embarking on its most ambitious housing program. At the same time, the Indian economy is back on track and is expected to uplift millions of people to better economic conditions, thereby, further improving the demand for the real estate across premium, residential, office and commercial segments. In the coming years, value creation in the wake of greater transparency and institutionalisation in the sector, is expected to take the sector to a new orbit.”
