Develop India – Strategies for Growth

The long-term development of the built environment in India will depend on leadership in finance, infrastructure, and sustainability. At the same time, people skills and business strategies are just as important as technical considerations in determining the long-range competitive advantage of projects, companies, cities, and states. For real estate investors and developers, as well as for lenders, vendors, construction companies, and infrastructure providers, these issues in the urbanization of the subcontinent are particularly large scale and complex. Exploring the latest multidisciplinary academic, industry, and public policy insights into the factors reshaping India, this new program equips you with the real estate tools, techniques, and strategies you will need to succeed in this evolving landscape.
