Thinking Inside a Box
The Morning Standard
|July 20, 2025
In 2020, on a quiet farm far from the chaos of Bengaluru, Gaurav Chauraria began reimagining shipping containers not as cargo carriers, but as homes. Inspired by the prefab and tiny home movements abroad, he saw potential in the abundant used containers lying idle in ports and yards.
That epiphany became the foundation of Alternate Real Estate Experiences Private Limited (Altree Pvt. Ltd.), and its flagship brand, The Habitainer. Chauraria was joined by a group of collaborators who shared his practical imagination.
Architect Karan Nadig brought in design thinking rooted in global sensibilities. Industrial engineers John Kunnath and Shiv Choudhari added technical depth and a sharp focus on sustainability. Arun Choudhari, from the Surin Automotive Group, contributed business strategy and logistics know-how. Together, they built The Habitainer around a simple question: what if homes could be manufactured as precisely as cars? Their answer was modular, factory-made structures built using repurposed shipping containers and prefabricated steel frames.
