Akash has spent his career across multiple industries and the last decade in luxury real estate, where his focus has stayed on premium residential projects built for customers who expect a certain standard. At ANHAD Developers, he’ll be responsible for how the company’s upscale projects come to market, backed by the kind of hands-on read of the luxury segment that only comes from years spent in it.

There’s a diverse thread running through his background, too. Akash’s career of almost 3 decades started in hospitality where he studied at the Pacific International Hotel Management School in New Zealand, and that grounding still shows in how he thinks about working with clients. Colleagues describe him as someone who builds strong teams and stays focused on results over the long haul rather than chasing short-term numbers.

Welcoming Akash to the growing leadership team, Mr. Adil Altaf, CEO, ANHAD Developers commented, “We are delighted to welcome Akash to the ANHAD Developers leadership team at a defining stage of our growth journey. His deep understanding of the luxury residential market, combined with a customer-first mindset and strong leadership capabilities, makes him an ideal fit for our vision. I am confident his expertise will play a pivotal role in shaping exceptional customer experiences and strengthening our presence in Gurugram’s premium real estate market.”

On taking up the role, as Head of Sales, Marketing and CRM at ANHAD Developers, Akash said:

“In the luxury real estate sector, true value isn’t just built on grand architecture, it is anchored in trust, service, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Drawing on my background in world-class hospitality, my approach to leading the Sales, Marketing, and CRM vertical at ANHAD Developers centers on delivering a seamless, highly tailored experience for our discerning homeowners.

For us, luxury isn’t just a physical space; it’s the art of understanding our clients’ aspirations and bringing them to life with finesse and exclusivity. At the heart of this journey is the enduring trust we cultivate with our entire ecosystem, our discerning homeowners, investors, and valued partners across the real estate fraternity. By fostering high-performing, customer-centric, results-driven teams, we aren’t just selling homes, we are nurturing long-term relationships and setting new benchmarks for refined living experiences across Gurugram.”

Akash steps into the role at a busy time for the company. ANHAD Developers is currently working on three projects out of its office in Worldmark, Gurugram: a luxury residential development, a plotted township, and a high-street commercial project, all part of the company’s opening slate in the region.

Mr. Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd, said, “India’s housing sector continued to display strong momentum through 2025, supported by healthy economic fundamentals, rising consumer confidence, and steady demand across mid-income and premium segment homes. The RBI’s cumulative 125 bps rate cut during the year, coupled with income tax relief announced in the Union Budget 2025 and GST rate rationalisation, has eased borrowing costs and strengthened market sentiment—enhancing purchasing power for homebuyers in key markets such in Delhi NCR and MMR.

The premium housing segment witnessed robust demand throughout the year, driven by evolving buyer preferences, rising disposable incomes, and growing interest from NRIs and HNIs. As highlighted in a recent ANAROCK report, nearly 42% of new housing supply in Delhi NCR was in the luxury and ultra-luxury segment, underscoring sustained appetite for high-quality, aspirational living. Among key micro-markets across Delhi NCR, Dwarka Expressway, Southern Peripheral Road, and South of Gurugram (Sohna) remained at the top of homebuyers’ preference lists, supported by rapid infrastructure development, improved connectivity, availability of larger plotted and high-rise formats, and strong potential for long-term capital appreciation.

With inflation stabilising, continued policy support, and developers increasingly focusing on quality, sustainability, and timely execution, the sector is firmly positioned for sustained growth. Going ahead, real estate is expected to remain a preferred long-term investment avenue while playing a pivotal role in employment generation, urban infrastructure development, and India’s broader ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision.”

Mr. Ashok Kapur, Chairman, Krishna Group and Krisumi Corporation, said, “India’s real estate sector demonstrated strong resilience throughout 2025, driven by sustained end-user demand and growing buyer confidence across key residential markets. This momentum was particularly evident in Delhi-NCR, which, according to a recent Anarock report, recorded the highest housing price growth among the top seven Indian cities during the July–September period, with prices rising by around 24% year-on-year, significantly outperforming other major markets.

The region’s strength is also visible in the luxury housing segment. According to a CBRE report, India’s residential market remained strong, with both home sales and new launches crossing 200,000 units during January–September 2025. Luxury apartment sales saw a sharp rise, growing by 97% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2025. This strong growth highlights rising buyer confidence and sustained demand for high-quality, premium homes across the region. In Gurugram, this demand has been meaningfully supported by the completion of critical infrastructure such as the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road II, which have substantially improved connectivity and accessibility.

Improved infrastructure, better connectivity, and strong end-user participation have translated into rising confidence and faster absorption for well-planned developments. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect this momentum to sustain, supported by stable buyer sentiment, a preference for ready and near-completion projects, and growing demand for thoughtfully designed, high-quality homes. At Krisumi, our focus remains on delivering residences that combine design excellence, execution reliability, and a refined, future-ready living experience aligned with evolving urban aspirations.”
