Commenting on the recognition, Pankaj Agrawal, chairman, Shaurrya Teleservices, said, “This is a defining moment for India’s real estate and digital infrastructure ecosystem. Connectivity is no longer a luxury but a core utility, just like water or power. With TRAI’s certification framework, we now have a transparent way to measure and improve how buildings perform digitally. At Shaurrya, we are aligned at fostering innovation in Enterprise Network services, generating meaningful employment, expanding business opportunities, and supporting small startups alongside large enterprises, all toward making India a global business hub with high standards of living and equitable opportunities.”
Meanwhile, Salil Ahuja, chief strategy officer, Shaurrya Teleservices, said, “We see this as both a responsibility and an opportunity. As one of the first eight agencies empanelled by TRAI, Shaurrya will not only certify properties but also work hand-in-hand with Telecom and Internet Service providers to enable property developers to enhance their ratings through our infrastructure solutions, from IBS and fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) to 5G microcells. Having been a part of the evolution in UAE over a decade, our aim is to make India’s built environment future-ready, resilient, and globally competitive. Enhanced connectivity leads to an improved customer experience at all levels.”
In addition, Sanjeev Goel, chief business officer, Shaurrya Teleservices, said, “This initiative will enlighten the entire telecom ecosystem, as 80 per cent data consumption happens indoors and there is no mechanism to track problem areas. This initiative will empower users to know the gaps and once these gaps are highlighted, they will become a source of information for telecom and internet providers along with the regulators.”
Shaurrya Teleservices is committed to driving digital transformation in India’s real estate sector. By providing transparent and reliable connectivity ratings, the company aims to enhance the quality of life and business opportunities, making India a global leader in digital infrastructure.
