Since we last spoke with Aryaman, MYRE announced a 10x growth in its user base, within just 12 months, registering over 30,000 investors and Assets Under Management in excess of Rs. 175 Cr.

Although he joined us on the show last year to talk about Fractional Ownership, today, Aryaman joins us to talking about his exciting new venture at MYRE, the launch of a Real Estate specific AIF (Alternative Investment Fund).
As described by MYRE, the AIF “will be a first-of-its-kind SEBI regulated Neo-Investment fund, and will invest in A+ grade commercial real estate properties, which will be tenanted by blue-chip tenants for long-term leases”.

But what is an AIF?
How does it differ from other private sector investment options in Real Estate such as Fractional Ownership?
What has the journey in real estate been for a tech enabled startup like MYRE?
and
What does the future hold for investors in Indian real estate?

The answers to all of this and more in the conversation ahead!

So, as always, tune in for some Concrete Conversations!

Unpacking the Impact of Real Estate on Climate Change with Dr. Sunita Purshottam, Head of Sustainability at Mahindra LifeSpace Developers

With the country's population not only growing population but also becoming more upwardly mobile, the demand for homes in India is only expected to rise in the foreseeable future. With over 40 million square feet delivered in 2021 and an expected 46 million square feet to be delivered in 2022, and supplemented by major infrastructure projects ongoing in nearly all the country's metros, the impact of the Real Estate sector on Climate Change has become a focal point of debate in India's growth story.
To assess the role of Real Estate in climate change, and to understand how the industry can offset, mitigate and decouple these effects from its growth story, we have with us today a domain expert in Real Estate and sustainability - the Head of Sustainability at Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd., Dr. Sunita Purushottam.

Dr. Sunita has a PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering from IIT Bombay, and over 20 years of sustainability strategy and environmental consultancy experience in the areas of environmental impact assessment; air emissions modelling and more.

Drawing on her learnings from working on projects across the UK, United States, Mexico, South Africa and India, Dr. Sunita sheds light today on topics at the epicentre of Climate Change and Real Estate, such as climate responsive design, hot-house earth syndrome, and developing India's first net zero residential project, Mahindra Eden.

So, as always, join us for some Concrete Conversations, and get ready to unpack the nuances of Climate Change in Real Estate.
