In India, the real estate sector is the second-highest employment generator, after the agriculture sector. Real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion in market size by 2030, up from US$ 200 billion in 2021 and contribute 13% to the country’s GDP by 2025. Infrastructure projects act as catalysts for real estate growth by improving connectivity, reducing commute times, and enhancing the overall quality of life in an area. As India continues to invest in infrastructure, policymakers, urban planners, and real estate developers must recognize and leverage this interplay to create sustainable and inclusive cities that thrive on the synergy between infrastructure and real estate.

Why are we questioning a founder's responsibility to protect investor capital? In the world of startups and investments, founders constantly walk the fine line between risk and stability. Recently, Sharan Hegde from 1% Club chose to invest a portion of his fundraised capital in a fixed deposit at 8.5% interest. The internet's response? Mixed reactions and even criticism. But let's think about it: when investors trust us with their money, they're placing faith in our ability to make prudent decisions. High-risk investments like stocks and mutual funds aren’t the only path to growth. Sharan’s decision to secure part of his investors' funds in a stable asset reflects a balanced approach—one that prioritizes safeguarding capital alongside aiming for growth. As a founder, I believe responsible financial management is key. At Property Verse, we recognize that building a sustainable future requires balancing risk with security. Sharan’s approach speaks to that same principle: protecting the trust and investment of his stakeholders. In an unpredictable market, isn’t this exactly what responsible founders should do? #Investing #StartupLife #Founders #InvestmentStrategy #PropertyVerse #Entrepreneurship #GrowthMindset #FinancialResponsibility

Whether it’s PBSAs, HMOs, BTR, shared houses, or homestays, we’ve got accommodation solutions covered, offering flexibility and fixed contracts for both short and long-term stays. Now, what really sets us apart? It’s not only our tech, content, or community—it’s how we build long-lasting relationships. Our deep connections with universities, education partners, embassies, and key stakeholders across the globe give us a unique position in the international education sector. As we look ahead to the 2025-26 intake, we’re calling on accommodation providers to adopt more inclusive and sustainable letting strategies. Global marketplaces like University Living should be at the center of these efforts— our relationship with providers is truly a partnership, where both sides thrive. Here are some key recommendations for providers: 1️⃣ Implement consistent commission structures 2️⃣ Embrace marketplace-inclusive letting strategies that foster long-term collaboration. 3️⃣ Promote transparency by sharing data, insights, and real-time inventory status. 4️⃣ Enable end-to-end booking experiences through API integrations to streamline operations and scale more efficiently. 5️⃣ Partner with a few proven marketplaces—those that are known for ethics, transparency, and consistent performance, even in tough times. By working together and following these principles, we can make student accommodation more accessible, efficient, and sustainable—not just for providers but for the students who count on us to find their home away from home. Let’s shape a better future for student accommodation, together.

Is Indian real estate becoming more transparent and efficient? In a groundbreaking move, the Gujarat RERA is set to simplify the norms around quarterly progress reports, aiming to streamline processes and reduce compliance burdens for developers. This move can potentially ignite a significant shift in the real estate sector, driving efficiency and transparency. Developers have long contended with the intricacies of providing detailed progress reports every quarter, a task that demands both time and resources. With these eased norms, developers can now focus more on project delivery and less on paperwork, ultimately benefiting buyers with timely project completions. What implications do you foresee for Gujarat's real estate landscape with these regulatory changes? #RealEstateReforms #IndustryUpdates #Gujarat #KarmayogiGaurav #RealEstateIndia

How big is the student housing market? 🏠 📈 Saurabh Goel talks about the idea behind starting Amber, a student accommodation and housing platform. The global student housing market was valued at $180 billion in 2019, and is expected to touch $225 billion by 2025 📈 BUT it is still one of the biggest hurdles for international students 🎓 Let’s take a better look 👇 1️⃣ It’s a problem students face globally 🌎 As of UNESCO, over 5.6M students studied abroad globally in 2020… and 60% of international students reported difficulties in finding accommodation as per a QS Student Survey. 2️⃣ It’s more than just a roof 🤷 Finding the right accommodation impacts students’ academic performance, affects their cultural integration and exposure, and overall study-abroad experience ✨ 3️⃣ The market is huge but complex 😓 Student housing is super confusing. Apart from students being an easy victim of popular malpractices from landlords, it’s highly unregulated. Unfamiliar rental processes, language barriers, lack of credit history, and potential for fraud top it all up. Watch the full #SuperleapPodcast episode ft. Saurabh from Amber, Mayank Kumar from upGrad, and Sumeet Jain from Yocket on YouTube. 🔗 Link in the comments. #podcast #studyinusa #msinusa #gre #greprep #studyinuk #msinus #studyincanada #studyinaustralia #studyingermany #studyabroad #foreigneducation #entrepreneurship #startup
