What has been the idea behind esta -blishing Squarea Consulting?
I have been in the real estate industry for more than a decade before I co-founded Squarea Consulting. And during that time, I realized, the real estate industry, in spite of being the second largest employer in the country, still has major gaps in terms of the policies, processes, transparency, and professionalism which is required in this field. So, the idea was to establish a real-estate consulting firm focusing on adding value to the lives of the clients.
As strategic advisors to investors, corporates and institutions, our vision is to transform the real estate industry by setting new standards in service through knowledge, perspective and insights in our advisory. This is very key to the success of high value transactions and in ensuring a win-win for our investors and clients.
How do you differentiate the company from the others in the real estate industry?
We are a leading real estate advisory business known for our professionalism, integrity, and excellence in service in luxury homes and commercial real estate investing. Our luxury spaces include Branded Residence, Themed Living, Weekend Villas, and Vacation Homes. We provide solutions in Property Management, Taxation advisory, Expat Leasing, and Fractional Investing, Financial Services, Mortgaging Services, and Legal Assistance. With a track record of over 1000+ HNI ongoing relationships, there is one simple premise that sets us apart – an exceptional under standing of capital, investment, and the value of time.
Could you tell us about the unique experiences Symbiosis International University offers and what did you learn from the campus beyond academics?
The world is one big family and Symbiosis International University firmly incorporates the concept of having students from across the world. This multicultural environment established within the campus gave me an opportunity to not only associate with different students and their cultures but also made me feel at home. Its multicultural education system has acted as a window of opportunities for me shaping my mind and perspective and preparing me for greater challenges in my career.
Tell us about your leadership approach.
In HNI advisory, talent is at the heart of our growth. I therefore believe in creating strong teams with trust and empowerment. By empowering them and counting on their sense of responsibility and ‘intrapreneurial’ style of working, I focus on fostering an environment where individuals feel valued and capable of

making important decisions.
My business leadership style gives associates the freedom to take ownership of their work and outcomes and allows them to utilize their skills and expertise better. In my opinion, trusting the team's abilities and providing them with the necessary training and resources enables them to excel and deliver exceptional results.
How do you keep yourself up-to-date with ongoing industry trends to steer your organization towards the future?
Staying up-to-date on industry trends is crucial for any leader who wants to make informed decisions, innovate, and adapt to changing customer needs and expectations. For me, the easiest way to do it is to meet people from different sectors and backgrounds.
These could be thought leaders, experts, practitioners, or even competitors who share their insights, opinions, and experiences. Exchanging conversations with them, helps me to learn from their perspectives, and discover new ideas.
I also believe that travel is one of life’s greatest classrooms. It pulls you out of your comfort zone and teaches you to navigate the unknown. Traveling helps me to explore a world of cultures and people to meet and creates opportunities for me to learn from every destination. I live by the mantra of learning one new thing every day. Even if it’s a different industry it can still be applicable to my own - but the learning must never stop.
What is the future destination you are headed towards?
As an organization, we are happy with the pace with which we have grown in the last 10 months. We have already successfully established our offices in Pune (India) and Dubai and are now looking forward to expand our operations in Mumbai, Bhubaneshwar (East India) and Doha. So, the idea is to have a multicity presence with the ultimate goal of exceeding our clients’ expectations by leveraging our expertise, global network, and innovative solutions.
