Optimizing Real Estate Value

Over the last few decades, India has undergone rapid industrialization – predominantly in manufacturing “clusters” most of which thrive in and around the metropolitan cities of the country. Some of the prime movers for this rapid growth have been the steady increase in the per capita income propelling urbanization, and the accurate perception of India as a hub for cost-effective manufacturing. Another encouraging factor has been a supportive politicoeconomic climate which has fostered favourable conditions for more and more large MNCs to set up their operating units in India. Various initiatives like Skill India, Make in India and Start-up India that have been launched by the Government in recent times have significantly driven economic growth. All of this, in order to be successful, has required project management as an underlying enabling factor.
