Real Estate and the Vision of Viksit Bharat
The conference’s “Real Estate for Viksit Bharat” theme highlights the role the real estate sector can play in India’s broader economic development.
Real estate is closely connected with multiple areas of the economy, including construction, infrastructure, finance, employment, urban development and supporting industries. As Indian cities continue to grow, the sector is also experiencing greater attention toward technology-enabled development, sustainable construction and more efficient business processes.
Forums such as the ASSOCHAM conference provide an opportunity for professionals from different segments to exchange perspectives on these developments.
Focus on Investment, Innovation and Sustainable Growth
The Session II discussion placed particular emphasis on several areas influencing the future of real estate:
Investment and Finance
Access to capital and evolving investment structures continue to influence how real estate projects are conceived, developed and delivered. Institutional investors, alternative investment structures and other sources of capital are contributing to the changing investment landscape.
Infrastructure and Technology
Technology is becoming increasingly integrated into real estate development, from project management and construction processes to building operations and infrastructure planning.
Safety and Sustainability
Safety standards and sustainability are also becoming increasingly important considerations for modern real estate development. Developers and industry stakeholders are increasingly looking at ways to combine growth with responsible development practices.
Ease of Doing Business
Improving processes, reducing friction and creating a more efficient environment for real estate development remain important to supporting the industry’s continued growth.
Ankur Jalan’s Participation Reflects the Importance of Industry Dialogue
Participation in industry forums such as the ASSOCHAM National Conference creates an opportunity for professionals to engage with peers, investors and other stakeholders and contribute to discussions around the future of the sector.
Ankur Jalan’s presence on the panel at Real Estate for Viksit Bharat reflects his participation in an industry-level conversation focused on investment, innovation, infrastructure and the changing dynamics of Indian real estate.
A Platform Bringing the Real Estate Ecosystem Together
The conference also brought together prominent organisations as programme partners. The event display featured Uno Minda, Axis Bank, Sorin, DLF, Signature Global, Alphacorp, Galaxy Magnum and Knight Frank across different partnership categories.
This broad participation illustrates the diverse ecosystem involved in India’s real estate sector, spanning developers, financial institutions, professional services, infrastructure and other supporting industries.
Looking Ahead
India’s real estate sector is entering a period where investment, technology, infrastructure and sustainability are increasingly interconnected. Industry conferences provide an important platform for stakeholders to discuss these developments and exchange perspectives on the road ahead.
The ASSOCHAM National Conference – Real Estate for Viksit Bharat, held in New Delhi on 8 September 2026, brought these themes together through discussions focused on enabling growth, investment and ease of doing business.
