Why I’m Done With the Indian Real Estate Fundraising Game Consider this post as an open letter to the real estate investment world in India. Not out of bitterness, but out of sheer exhaustion. Everyone Talks About Vision. But No One Wants to Build It. Attend any real estate summit or panel discussion, and you’ll hear the same grand rhetoric: “We’re building the India of tomorrow.” “We believe in Bharat.” “Tier 2 is the next frontier.” But when you sit across the table with these same funds, pitching a real, bankable project in a Tier 2 city, the energy shifts. Suddenly, the market isn’t “ready.” The macros are “uncertain.” The IRR doesn’t scream 20 percent. The Reality Is Simple. They Want Delhi Returns Without Delhi Risk. These funds and institutional lenders claim to enable growth. But they only chase safety. They prefer a deal in a saturated Tier 1 city with a legacy brand, even if it's overpriced and overleveraged. You can bring a clean title, strong demand, sound feasibility, and structured de-risking. It won’t matter. The deal is passed over not because of you, but because of where you’re building. India Cannot Be Built with Just 8 to 10 Cities. A truly developed India doesn’t look like a handful of Tier 1 megacities with Tier 3 belts surrounding them. It looks like 20–30 vibrant urban ecosystems firing in tandem. The question is: Who’s going to recreate Gurgaon in Bhubaneswar? Who’s going to turn Surat, Nashik, Vadodara, and Chandigarh into true economic hubs? The answer should be: forward-looking capital. But the truth is: most of these funds don’t even have a mandate to invest in Tier 2. And Here's the Irony. Most of these funds are powered by family offices and HNIs, many of whom themselves come from Tier 2 cities. Their fathers built businesses in these very places. Their roots, pride, and legacy lie in towns they now consider too “risky” to back. They won’t fund someone like them, twenty years ago. They won’t even take a meeting unless the pin code reads Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore. And Then They Say, “India Will Never Overcome Its Challenges.” They’re right. Because they are the ones standing in the way of the solution. Everyone wants to be part of India’s growth story But no one wants to author the hard chapters. I’m Not Asking for Sympathy. I’m Just Telling the Truth. I’m not looking for charity. I’m not here to rant. But after knocking on the doors of over a dozen funds and banks, I’m tired of the disconnect. If you talk about building the new India, prove it. Back the places that will define it, not just the ones that already shine on a map. Because until someone is willing to take a bet on emerging India, we’re just giving keynotes about a future we’ve already abandoned.

📢 Which of Hyderabad’s HOUSING SOCIETIES rank highest on actual buyer consumption? What are their residents really purchasing? We analyzed the data—here’s what we found 👇 At Xpert, we studied verified purchase data from 305K+ buyers across 55+ pincodes in Hyderabad, mapping their delivery addresses to residential societies. We then aggregated transactions across digital & retail POS channels—covering categories such as Personal Care, Food & Beverages, Home Essentials, Fashion, and Electronics to rank the Top 50 Housing Societies by buyer density and purchasing power. Here are some highlights from the findings: 🔹Purchasing Power Is Concentrated – Just 8 of the Top 50 societies account for more than 40% of total buyer spend, making them high-potential clusters for precision-led BTL activations. 🔹Western Corridor Dominates – Societies in the western part of Hyderabad consistently show higher buyer density compared to other zones of the city. 🔹Category Affinities Differ – While DSR Reganti residents over-index on kids product purchases, Stone Valley shows stronger demand in fitness category products. We’ve compiled all this into Hyderabad’s Top Housing Societies Report—a tactical playbook for brands to: 1️⃣Identify priority societies for BTL activations, door-to-door campaigns, and sampling drives. 2️⃣Maximize OOH impact with placements like banners, standees, and society entrance screens. 3️⃣Discover society-level buyer behavior—category affinities, lifestyle choices, and spending trends. If your brand wants to unlock Hyderabad with smarter marketing, stocking, or distribution strategies, this report is your go-to blueprint. Built with 💜 by Xpert’s data & product teams. 👉 Drop “Xpert” in the comments to get access to the full report. 🗓 Free access valid for 30 days from publish date #TopHousingSocieties #HyderabadSocietyReport #Marketing #UnlockDemand #RetailExpansion #BTLMarketing #BuyerInsights #StorePlanning #ConsumerIntelligence #HyderabadRealEstate #HyderabadRetail #DataDriven #Retail #HousingSocieties #AdTargeting #OOHPlanning #Hyderabad

Last month, one of our real estate clients lost their entire calling team overnight. All four telecallers exited. No notice. No backup. The project they were handling? Worth over ₹200 crores. Campaigns were live. Leads were pouring in. But no one was there to call. They messaged us: “We’ll have to pause everything. We can’t follow up on leads.” Now here’s the thing— We handle marketing and CRM. We don’t do telecalling. This wasn’t in our scope. This wasn’t our KRA. But within two minutes, one of my teammates replied: “Don’t worry. I’ll arrange telecaller interviews for you by tomorrow.” And he did. The next day, the client messaged again: “Thanks, but the new team will join only after two days.” And my teammate, again responded: “Until they join, we’ll make the calls.” No escalation delay. Just quiet, confident action. And that’s when I realised something deeper was happening. This wasn’t just about helping a client. It was about what our team had built outside our company. /A reputation in the real estate market. /A layer of trust that travels faster than our pitch decks. /Clients who now refer new builders by naming our team members. /Campaigns that get signed not just for the brand, but for the people behind it. It’s a different kind of brand equity— when your team has raving fans in the market. When they’re the reason deals get done. When they become your brand ambassadors, without ever trying to be. We’ve always believed this at Adventurus: ✔️ Client retention isn’t a strategy ✔️ Ownership is everyone’s job ✔️ Loyalty is earned in crisis, not comfort You don’t scale with logos. You scale when your team becomes unforgettable.
