At the same time, the sector added 2 more US Dollar billionaires – taking the total to 9 this year.

Commenting on the launch of the GROHE Hurun India Real Estate Rich List 2019, Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun Report India, said “The third edition of the real estate rich list highlights two major transformations defining the sector. One, more weightage is being given by the buyers and lenders to players who value accountability, transparency and institutional approach. The indication: 60% of individuals featured in this year’s list are from stable or positively rated companies. Two, the names on the rich list are not on it, merely because they created wealth for themselves – but for the stakeholders they cater to through their companies. The indication: the combined revenue of companies in the list increased by 17% and the listed real estate companies registered wealth growth of 24% this year. 16 new players have been added to this year’s list with two names debuting at #9 and #20. Stories of these entrepreneurs tell the stories of the evolution of India’s real estate segment”
Speaking at the launch, Rupert Hoogewerf, Founder, Hurun Report, said “Indian real estate is set to a transformation owing to multiple factors. At the forefront of the change will be the leaders with proven expertise, credible brand and deep pockets to innovate and inspire. The 3rd edition of GROHE Hurun Real Estate Rich List 2019 celebrates exactly the same kinds of Indian leaders who are creating wealth by offering value in a challenging, competitive and regulated market as India.”
Commenting on the association, Bobby Joseph, General Manager, LIXIL Water Technology (LWT), India & Subcontinent said, “It is an honour for us to felicitate the leaders in the Indian real estate industry through the GROHE HURUN India Real Estate Rich List 2019.This is the third year of our partnership with HURUN and we are pleased to witness how these awards have become a true reflection of the evolution of the Real Estate industry at large. Over the past few years, Indian realty has gone through a multitude of changes – from demonetization to RERA and GST – and has emerged as a truly transformational space that is thinking and functioning in a way that’s primarily consumer first. A greater demand for institutionalization, reform and a clearly defined digital identity has given rise to a more informed consumer, whose penchant for quality and on-time delivery has caused a clear sectoral shift.”
“The rise in demand from urban areas for premiumisation and products that marry functionality and great design perfectly, is only increasing. Along with HURUN, we are pleased to recognize the developers that have been focused on consistently delivering world leading technology to push the industry to greater heights. They have had to remain agile and constantly evolving in this high-potential market and the feat has not been easy. On behalf of LIXIL and GROHE, I extend my heartiest congratulations to the partners who have been listed and to the fraternity at large.”; he added.
