Roti, kapda aur makaan — the holy trinity of a dignified life. While India has delivered on the first two; the third remains our blind
India’s Real Estate is Heating Up. REITs are maturing, a new airport is coming, flex offices are redefining commercial real estate, rental housing policy is under construction, compact homes or the studio apartment product is yet to surface in any substantial way in the real estate market… a lot has been done which should be acknowledged, a lot needs to be done which should be highlighted and there are many gaps along the way and hiccups too … But inspite and despite, the odds, India story keeps growing, slowly and steadily, brick by brick.. and so also the topics and the themes are constant and compelling.
As a new India is being born… with new money, renewed vigour, millennial buyers, second-home NRI interest, and green architecture reshaping the market, we need to ask the right questions.
From stalled projects to landmark judgments, from RERA reforms to YEIDA’s new master plans—there’s endless scope for content creation. And today the Global-Local connections matter more than ever before. Why Indians are flocking to Dubai realty. Readers want to know…What India can learn from Singapore’s public housing? Is India catching up or creating its own playbook?
So we bring to you our column – straight from the pen of renowned journalist Namrata Kohli who has extensively covered real estate through her writings for mainstream media, articles, interviews, and now podcasts.
In a sector often shrouded in jargon, speculation, and shifting policies, we go beyond brochures, buzzwords, and builders’ promises. We’re here to decode, demystify, and disrupt.
We’re not here to just inform. We’re here to empower—homebuyers, renters, investors, and everyone caught in the maze of India’s evolving urban landscape.
This column breaks down the fine print, decodes government circulars, busts industry myths, and above all, asks the tough questions no one else will. Why is loading not regulated? Who’s accountable for stalled projects? Is that “luxury” apartment worth your EMI? Why is there no supply of good quality smaller homes?
It’s time for real conversations on real estate. Whether you’re buying your first home or your fifth, we promise insights you can use, not just data you’ll forget.
We’re not here to echo what the brochures say –
Because Indian real estate doesn’t need more PR.
It needs a reality check.
One brick at a time.
You’ll find stories that empower homebuyers, hold developers and authorities accountable, and ask what really lies beneath the glossy facade.
Because India’s most complex sector deserves more than surface-level stories. BrickbyBrick presents Content Not Just With Spin, But With Spine!
