Rubics Realty Makes a Spectacular Debut in Mumbai's Luxury Real Estate Market

Mumbai’s skyline is constantly evolving. Driven by ambition, capital, and global influence, new projects are surfacing every month, each promising bigger balconies, taller towers, and more amenities than the last. The language is familiar, the imagery interchangeable. In a city where everyone is trying to be premium, standing out has become a tough feat—which is why Rubics Group chose to think differently.

For Rubics Group, it’s far more than just arriving at the party. It’s about becoming the main event, much before a single floor plan is unveiled. And so it was that Rubics Group chose to announce itself through culture. By sponsoring Lionel Messi’s G.O.A.T. India Tour 2025, the brand aligned itself with one of the most revered figures in global sport and instantly reframed what a real estate debut could look and feel like.

The four-city G.O.A.T. India Tour has been one of the most anticipated moments on India’s cultural calendar, bringing together sport, spectacle, and global stardom. For Rubics Group, the sponsor for Messi’s India tour doubled as the launchpad for Rubics Realty—its luxury residential arm set to debut in Mumbai’s premium real estate market. The message was clear: here was a brand with its finger firmly on the pulse of what today’s consumer cares about. On the eve of Messi’s arrival, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link lit up with Rubics Realty branding, turning a familiar landmark into a citywide double-take. Phones came out. Screenshots followed. Group chats lit up. The brand had already pulled off the hardest trick in the book: getting people to look up and pay attention.

Online, the momentum followed. The hashtag RubicsLovesMessi became a national trend, drawing attention from football fans, design enthusiasts, and industry watchers alike. At the centre of this high-impact debut is Suhan Shetty, Founder & Managing Director of Rubics Realty, whose approach to real estate is guided by a design-first philosophy and visionary thinking. Educated in Europe and well-versed in global urban design principles, he’s played an instrumental role in the making of marquee projects, including Three Sixty West and Sion Beaumonte. His philosophy? Homes should reflect life as it’s lived, built around experiences and the occupants’ tastes rather than just square footage.

“Standing alongside a legend like Lionel Messi reaffirmed the spirit of our brand,” Shetty said, after meeting the football legend. “It’s about pursuing greatness, crafting excellence, and making a meaningful impact.” Translation: Make your every move count.

This mindset is set to reveal itself in the months ahead, as Rubics Realty prepares to step into Mumbai’s luxury residential space with three projects in the historic neighbourhoods of Worli, Sion, and Lalbaug. These places come layered with stories and character, offering a canvas for modern design that will set new benchmarks for luxury living. Beyond aesthetics, the brand is focused on sustainability, wellness, and community, embracing an approach that will resonate with India’s discerning buyers.

“We’ve established our brand vision, and the countdown has begun,” said Shetty. “In the months ahead, we’ll be revealing our plans in detail—from amenities and location to the overall look and feel, as well as key partnerships—offering a clear sense of where the brand is headed.”

The brand’s long-term vision spans lifestyle-led urban projects, with potential expansions into hospitality, mining, and other sectors. Its ethos revolves around designing with intent, honouring the city, and creating spaces that feel like more than just walls and floors.

One legendary sponsorship, one illuminated skyline, and a powerful G.O.A.T. moment later, Rubics Realty shines bright under Mumbai’s luxury real estate spotlight—well before the grand reveal.
