The ET Now Realty Conclave & Awards 2025 ‑
South Edition brought together the key players of South India’s real estate
industry from developers and architects to branding agencies, tech providers,
government officials, banks and financiers. The event covered stakeholders from
Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. The theme: “Shaping
Tomorrow’s Real Estate Landscape”.
Focus on
Technology, Sustainability and Strategy
One of the major take-aways from the conclave
was how technology, sustainability and strategic leadership are redefining the
growth of real estate. Discussions ranged from how digital tools are changing
design and construction, to how green building practices and thoughtful urban
planning can shape healthier, more resilient cities. With real estate
contributing nearly 9% of India’s GDP and projected to become a $1 trillion
industry by 2030, the stakes are high.
Keynote
Insights on the Future of Cities
A highlight was the presentation by Ajitesh
Korupolu, Founder & CEO of ASBL, titled “The Future of Indian Cities”. He
emphasised how every 1% of GDP invested in infrastructure can yield double
returns and create millions of jobs. He pointed to global examples like
Chennai’s concept of a “five-minute city” and New York’s redesign of Times
Square that highlight how well-planned urban spaces can boost local economies
and reduce emissions.
Recognising
Excellence in the Real Estate Sector
The awards segment of the event honoured
organisations that had demonstrated outstanding service, customer satisfaction,
innovation and transformative contributions. The judging process, managed by a
research partner, assessed nominees using a detailed framework to ensure
fairness and transparency.
ASBL’s Big
Moment
ASBL was recognised as the “Fastest Growing
Real Estate Company in India” at the event. Since its founding in 2017, ASBL
has delivered 10 million sq. ft. of residential development and aims to deliver
another 10 million in the coming years. Its focus on technology‐driven
construction, transparency and sustainability has helped differentiate it in a
crowded market. The award reflects the brand’s rise in Hyderabad’s skyline and
broader Indian real estate.
Why This
Matters for South India
For the five states covered, this conclave
underscores the momentum in real estate development beyond the traditional
metros. It signals a shift where tier-II and tier-III cities in South India are
becoming growth engines, powered by smart design, green building practices and
investment in infrastructure. The presence of national brands and local
developers together is a sign of convergence, and the event acts as a platform
for collaboration across technology, finance and policymaking.
Final
Thoughts
The ET Now Realty Conclave & Awards 2025 –
South Edition serves as a reminder that real estate is no longer just about
building homes or offices it is about urban ecosystems, future-ready
infrastructure and sustainable communities. As India’s realty industry evolves,
events like this help align developers, tech providers, architects and
policymakers to shape a more liveable, resilient tomorrow.
