By Ankita Luharuka, CEO, Alliance City Developers India’s urban story is entering a defining decade. As cities grow and ambitions develop, the question is not if we need more housing but how we can make it more resilient, sustainable and for future-ready communities. For a long time, urban growth in India has been synonymous with expansion. The usual answer to increased populations and housing demand has been to build new suburbs, peripheral developments and greenfield projects. But as land becomes scarcer and infrastructural costs rise, the future of urban development may be less about expansion and more about reinventing. In…

By Mukul Bansal, Co- Founder & Managing director, Motiaz India’s residential market is changing in ways that go beyond conventional metrics. Launch volumes, absorption rates, and price movements capture part of the picture. What they do not reflect is the fundamental change in who is buying and how purchase decisions are being made. That evolution, more than any near-term data point, speaks to where the sector is actually headed. For much of the past two decades, residential real estate in India operated on a relatively straightforward dynamic. Supply expanded, aspirational demand was broad, and the information available to buyers was…

By Ankit Modi, Managing Director, Durakraft Extrusions Many residents and companies alike are looking for alternative ways to reduce their utility bills with respect to the rising cost of electric power, while not sacrificing comfort. Electricity bills can be created in large part from lighting and appliances, but windows are also a big contributor to the overall energy consumption of a facility. Outdated or improperly insulated windows will allow unwanted heat, dirt, and air to enter and exit from the home, making the heating and/or air conditioning systems of the home work much harder. In countries with extreme climates, like…

By Eshwar K Vikas, Co-founder & CEO of Beyond Appliances India’s smart living revolution is no longer on the horizon; it is already unfolding at scale. The Indian smart home market is projected to grow at over 10–12% CAGR, with its value expected to cross $9–10 billion by 2028, according to industry estimates. What was once confined to luxury residences and high-end gated communities is now steadily becoming part of everyday households across the country. This shift is being driven by a combination of factors: rising digital penetration, increasing disposable incomes, improved access to affordable devices, and a growing awareness…

By Roy Anirudha, Co-Founder and Chairman, Technostruct Academy Every city, if one were to observe with sufficient attentiveness, is less an agglomeration of structures and more an intricate palimpsest of human aspiration, its skylines etched with ambition, its streets inscribed with movement, and its interstitial spaces quietly resonant with lived experience. But in 2026, as the world came together to celebrate World Architecture Week (From April 12 to April 18), the question, therefore, is no longer how we design edifices of aesthetic merit, but how we engender built environments capable of negotiating the volatile exigencies of a world in flux.…

By Dilip Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO of IndiFrame Maharashtra tests homes like few other states in India. Mumbai gets over 2,400 millimetres of rain annually. Pune and Nashik are not far behind. Coastal districts like Ratnagiri face salt-laden winds for months at a stretch. And then there are the summers — Vidarbha regularly crosses 45°C. You would think, given these extremes, that windows and doors would be near the top of every homeowner’s checklist. In my experience, they are almost never there. That is not carelessness. It is a structural problem with how this market works. The window and door…

 By Sumit Kumar, Business Unit Head and Assistant Vice President at VYNA Electric As homes continue to double up as classrooms and offices, eye strain has quietly become one of the most common and most ignored household problems.
