Addressing the 4th Naredco-MAHI convention, Verma stated, “Women can do anything today, then, why not real estate?” He pointed out the prevalence of lies, misselling, and fraud in the real estate market. “Most of the civil cases are related to real estate. If women will come into real estate, I think there will be a reduction in these cases,” he said, adding that lies and misselling would also decrease.
Verma also sought support from the industry for the beautification of the national capital, underlining the importance of integrated infrastructure management and sustainable practices. D Thara, Additional Secretary of the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, echoed similar sentiments. She urged builders to focus on integrated infrastructure management of housing societies, emphasizing the importance of water preservation and the development of green spaces in housing complexes.
Thara suggested that developers should provide documents detailing green measures and water availability in housing complexes to increase awareness and promote sustainability. This approach would not only enhance the quality of life but also build accountability within the industry.
Smita Patil, President of NAREDCO-MAHI, spoke about the future of India's housing sector. She emphasized that the industry must be built with robust policy frameworks, shaped by industry leaders, and guided by inclusive values, particularly the empowerment of women and emerging leaders. “We need to create an environment where women are not just participants but leaders in the real estate sector,” she said.
Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman of Naredco, highlighted the importance of skilling in the real estate sector. “Real estate is the second largest employer in India. However, it is short of skilled workers. If we can fill this gap with skilled women, it will not only lead to employment generation and women empowerment but will also give a significant boost to economic growth,” he said. Hiranandani noted that this could help achieve the vision of tripling the size of the economy.
The conference brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and women from the real estate sector to discuss strategies for increasing women's participation and improving the overall transparency and accountability of the industry. The consensus was clear: women's involvement in real estate is not just a matter of gender equality but a crucial step towards a more transparent and sustainable future.
