Indian Women in Real Estate

The real estate industry in India has been largely a playfield for the male. It is hard to come across a woman broker, and the experience is telling if you are in Mumbai searching for rental properties. The various Facebook groups dealing in real estate are a notorious gathering of shady middlemen with no level of professionalism. Big real estate giants in India prefer recruiting male candidates for the fieldwork because the notion is women can’t get through the sweat and grind construction site or the intelligence of investment decisions. So, is the Indian real estate scene so bleak for women? Gather up, here we are with a brief profile of six Indian women in real estate, marking a big dent with their professional ingenuity. Ready?

In the UK, US, and European markets, women in real estate are like women in any other sector. But Indian women in real estate are yet to be fully celebrated for the value they bring to constructing a progressive image of India. When we have women to make us a home, we must let women build us a house through financial negotiation, construction planning, architecture, and anything they consider their expertise. Therefore, real estate enterprises in India need to recruit more women, but even the government agencies should also prioritize tenders to Indian women in real estate.
