“We have moved into the era of inclusive workplace culture, where both, men and women, have the environment to succeed. Even the real estate sector which has so far been male dominated is now embracing and valuing diversity and high ethical standards, thus, providing opportunities for women to take on broader roles. The sector is now headed to attract more female talent and eventually, have a larger talent base to pick from. Infact this is the core idea behind NAREDCO’s initiative on introducing MAHI.” said Smt. Tara Subramaniam, President, NAREDCO-MAHI
“Women by nature are multi taskers as they are good at balancing work and family, which is a critical aspect in real estate, owing to the nature of the business. Women, in various segments of the sector, are able to weave in a unique mix of combination that is compassion, assertiveness, focus and determination. Qualified and educated women are bringing to the table the necessary synergies required to take the business baton forward. Also with the sector becoming more organised and marching towards maturity, we need to see more women taking on leadership roles in all segments of real estate development, as well as consultancy.” said Rajan Bandelkar, President, NAREDCO.
The skill and ingenuity that women possess has been well recognized, and women are building their repertoires in the real estate and various asset classes, as executives, promoters, architects, designers, developers, realtors, lawyers or consultants, among others.
The core vision of NAREDCO MAHI is to create a platform for women leaders and entrepreneurs that will further enable inclusion, knowledge sharing, mentoring, and networking towards the development of the real estate and housing sector by encouraging women to contribute to the formulation of national policies, schemes and fiscal reforms. NAREDCO MAHI aims to promote professional excellence and equal opportunities. With more and more women taking active participation in all aspects of buying, selling and developing real estate, the industry is experiencing a fresh wave of female entrepreneurs taking the lead.
