I am a small builder started construction in 2022. The numbers he told like 20% for land acquisition, 45% for operations exactly matches to my current projects, and cost control techniques he is suggesting are really key for any project

[rakeshbharadwaj]

Hyderabad real estate is on a brink of collapse. Many people booked under construction flats and supply is very high. Now the investors are unable to find end users and exit their investment. The interviewer forgot to ask about supply and demand of inventory.

Shantanu the biggest take away from this podcast, keep in touch with this Man … Keep An Eye on his IPO . Young Dynamic Entrepreneur, it will be worth taking a bet on his vision . Thank You Team Barber Shop, Maza Aali .

[prathameshaiya]

Really insightful discussion on the real estate industry, got to learn a lot about the nitty gritties of the business.
Ajitesh seems to be a really smart, new age entrepreneur, someone who's trying to revolutionalise an industry filled with incumbent players and old-school way of doing things.
Focus on product development and innovation, convenience and consumer satisfaction in a space like real estate is very refreshing to hear about.
Thank you Shantanu for inviting such great guests. Hoping to see ASBL and BSC both grow multifold in the years to come!

Wow, this guy was unassuming in the initial few minutes, after sometime it's like wow. Amazing wealth of information and knowledge.

[alok]

Amazed by the guest! he really did convince me to buy a house as an investment !

[vivekthakur]

Thank you for this podcast, really appreciated for bringing person from real estate industry

[namanrastogi]

Very good insights from a builder's mind about the entire RE business..good work

[vibhorkala]

This was wamazing. Such deep insights and smashing the real estate myths. Every minute was worth it

[Achtungatutube]

43:00 I agree that EMIs lead to asset creation but if you lose your job, the bank will foreclose on your property, just like how you will thrown out of the rental for nonpayment of rent.

[vishaljoshi]

Super episode. So informative and happy to know the new approach taken by the developer and his sincere effort to scale it and such an innovative and empathetic way of looking at one's product and service development, solving age old problems of the industry. Kudos and thanks team Barber shop

Interesting breakdown! Following along, I calculated that after 3 years with a 6% annual appreciation, the house price 100 would be around Rs. 124. However, with a 9% loan interest, the Rs.85 loan would grow to Rs. 114.67. Factor in a 1.5% selling cost (roughly Rs. 1.86), and the net profit looks to be around Rs. 7.43. But that's before considering the Rs. 15 down payment. Unfortunately, with all the factors included, it seems this scenario leads to a net loss of Rs. 7.57 after 3 years.

Superb overview of the industry. Such deep knowledge and articulation of the subject is seldom found in real estate sector. My takeaways - innovation, product research, digitization and foremost being sensitive towards fulfilling the importance of housing need of a person.
Request to keep posting some more similar Real Estate Industry related videos.

Thank you Shantanu. This is how business interviews should look like, I was expecting a little more deep insight of the sector.

House for own consumption ✅
Investment ❌❌

Wrong to assume house prices will matxh inflation in short run

[pmanification]

I’ve seen a lot of people claiming to be gurus of real estate on social media. But man oh man - this guy has the brain of a supercomputer and he understands his business like a mother understand her child

[mailmeabhilash]

44:12 you are right. Renting and investing in Nifty 50 is better in the time frame of 20-30 years going forward. We will never see the real estate jump of 2000's unless, rupee devalues by 10x in that case you would be better off in gold/equity markets.

[nikhilct]

The basic assumption that house prices will compound at 6-7% per year- needs to be tested based on locality, entry price etc.
