The early signs of revival could be seen from the last quarter of 2009 and the real estate sector has been a major contributor in this regard.“Indian real estate is in a constant state of flux and players must develop the ability to adapt quickly to changing market dynamics. Keeping this in view, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) will be organising a national conclave on real estate,” says chairman and country head Anuj Puri of global property advisory firm Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj (JLLM) to Times Journal of Construction and Design.
Titled as ‘Maximizing Opportunities 2010 and Beyond’, the conclave will allow industry leaders to engage in debate and exchange vital market information, draw analysis and make predictions to chart the future course for the Indian property sector, adds Mr Puri while speaking to a TJCD correspondent.
Incidentally, the JLLM country head is the conclave chairman.
