Bijay Agarwal, MD, Sattva Group, shares his remarkable journey with Jayashree Kini Mendes of how a single building in Bengaluru evolved into India's most diversified real estate institution, shaping urban landscapes while contributing to the nation's comprehensive development.

THE JOURNEY

The story begins with a simple vision and a small plot of land in Bengaluru in 1993, when we developed Money Chambers—a modest beginning. What started as a single building has evolved over three decades into a diversified enterprise with a 74 million square feet portfolio!

The early 2000 IT boom marked our pivotal transformation. Recognizing the need for quality office infrastructure in India’s emerging technology landscape, we launched Sattva GR Tech Park (earlier known as GR Tech Park), establishing our foundation in commercial development. This foresight positioned us at the forefront of India’s economic transformation as the country emerged as the global outsourcing capital.

Today, India commands approximately 58% of the global outsourcing market with the world’s largest working-age population and the second-largest English-speaking population. The country has emerged as the GCC capital of the world with over 1,700 Global Capability Centres—projected to exceed 2,100 by 2028.
