MUMBAI (INDIA): Within a year of launching its operations in India, global realty services provider Savills India is now aiming to be among the top five international property consultants in the country in the next 3-5 years.
The UK-headquartered firm, which is currently present in 15 Asian countries, is hoping to bring India in the list of top five nations in the region in next 3-5 years.
“Savills is a recent entrant in the Indian market. We are focused on our commercial leasing and project management verticals, and are planning to expand our industrial and valuations businesses in the short term. We plan to get our complete IPC services online in India over the next few years,” the firm’s Country Manager Bryan Kidd told here.
In India, Savills will compete with the leading IPC (international property consultants) players such as Cushman & Wakefield, Knight Frank, CBRE, Jones Lang Lasalle and Colliers International, among others, he said.
“We have already set up three offices in India in cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai and Gurgaon. We are working towards being in the list of top five IPC players in the country in the next 3-5 years,” Kidd added.
