Delhi-NCR tops Housing Price Index for Sep 2024: Housing.com-ISB Report
New Delhi, 23rd December 2024: Property values in India’s National Capital Region (NCR) have shown significant increase in a rather short time span as the country’s rich continue to pour millions in this highly promising residential market, inspired by lifestyle aspirations. According to the latest findings of the Housing Price Index (HPI), a leading indicator of price trends in India’s key realty markets, the NCR, with an HPI reading of 178, has outperformed its peers, primarily driven by strong end-user demand, investor interest and significant value appreciation in key micro-markets such as New Gurgaon, Noida Extension and Dwarka Expressway.
Developed jointly by leading real estate app Housing.com and global business school Indian School of Business (ISB), the HPI serves as a tool that tracks changes in residential home prices across India’s 13 major markets.
All-India HPI moves 2 points up in Sept; Bengaluru, Kolkata show 12-point jump
The All-India HPI reached 128 in September, marking a 2-point quarter-on-quarter increase, reflecting steady growth in property values across major residential hubs. These findings reaffirm the strength of India’s residential real estate market, as it navigates global and domestic challenges while responding to evolving buyer needs, the report notes.
Other cities that have displayed significant improvement in price growth include Bengaluru and Kolkata. Demand-driven growth in micro-markets such as Varthur and Devanahalli triggered value growth in India’s IT capital: the city saw its reading jump 12 points, from 155 to 167, from June to September. The reading for Kolkata showed a similar jump, from 138 to 150 in the same period.
“With an improvement in infrastructure and connectivity, Kolkata is gradually showing improvements in terms of liveability. Despite a sharp price rise, the city remains more affordable than other metros, providing it a certain edge, especially to people looking for post-retirement homes,” says the report.
‘Rising property values reflect a stable, maturing market’
Mr. Amit Masaldan, Chief Revenue Officer, Housing.com, said: “Delhi-NCR’s remarkable performance in the Housing Price Index is a testament to the region’s strong fundamentals, underpinned by robust demand and strategic developments in key micro-markets. This growth aligns with India’s broader real estate trajectory, where rising property values reflect a stable and maturing market. Despite affordability challenges, end-users and investors are demonstrating confidence, driven by the promise of long-term value creation.”
“India’s real estate sector continues to evolve, shaped by transformative infrastructure projects, urbanisation trends, and growing aspirations for larger homes. As we move forward, the sector is poised to contribute significantly to India’s economic narrative, offering opportunities across residential, commercial, and emerging segments. With strategic planning and alignment to buyer preferences, the market is set to sustain its growth momentum while adapting to the new realities,” Mr. Masaldan added.
“We see a significant variation in the trends in the overall Indian market. Over the past two years, the NCR region has experienced sharp price increases, accompanied by a significant slowdown in sales. In contrast, the Mumbai region has witnessed modest price growth alongside a robust increase in sales. While there are broader economic headwinds, India’s real estate sector is mature and well-positioned to withstand short-term turbulence,” said Mr Shekhar Tomar, Assistant Professor, Economics and Public Policy, ISB.

Elevate Your Brand with Thoughtful Corporate Gifting: A Gift That Works for You
By-Mr. Karan Sehdev, Founder of Merch Matters
Corporate gifting is far more than just a transactional exchange—it’s an art of communication and connection. When approached with intention, it can transform the way your brand is perceived, foster deeper relationships, and create a memorable impact that lasts long after the gift is received. In a world where attention is fleeting, a well-chosen gift can be the perfect catalyst to strengthen bonds, promote goodwill, and position your brand as thoughtful, generous, and customer-centric.
Strengthening Relationships and Building Loyalty
At its core, corporate gifting is an expression of appreciation, but its power extends far beyond a simple “thank you.” It’s a unique opportunity to make a statement about who you are as a company and how much you value your relationships with clients, partners, and employees. A carefully selected gift, given at just the right moment, does much more than put a smile on someone’s face—it enhances your brand’s image, demonstrating your attention to detail, your commitment to quality, and your willingness to invest in meaningful connections.
In the corporate world, the way you treat people speaks volumes. Whether you are thanking a loyal client, recognizing a dedicated employee, or honoring a business partner, a gift can go a long way in strengthening the bond. It shows that your company sees them as more than just a transaction; you acknowledge their contribution, time, and effort. This personalized recognition can be the catalyst for stronger loyalty, repeat business, and a more engaged workforce. A gift, when thoughtfully chosen, becomes a bridge that solidifies relationships and opens doors to future opportunities.
A Strategic Marketing Tool: Gifts That Spark Conversations
Beyond strengthening relationships, corporate gifts play an essential role in enhancing brand visibility and awareness. Each time a recipient uses your branded gift or displays it in their office, your company is subtly being introduced to new audiences. Gifts like a beautifully crafted pen, an eco-conscious tote, or a premium gadget carry your company’s values and identity wherever they go. This consistent exposure allows your brand to remain top-of-mind, keeping you in the hearts and minds of clients and partners long after the gift is received.
Corporate gifting is a thoughtful way to showcase your brand’s personality and build meaningful relationships. The items you choose to send speak to the values you uphold—whether it’s sustainability, innovation, luxury, or simplicity. For instance, sending a well-designed, high-quality item such as an organic gift basket or a customized leather notebook shows your dedication to quality and your commitment to the recipient’s needs and preferences. These gifts work silently, enhancing your brand’s reputation through their utility and elegance.
Turning Gifts into Growth Opportunities
The true value of corporate gifting lies in its ability to spark conversation. Imagine your client receiving a sleek, cutting-edge gadget or an elegant branded accessory—they’re not just getting a gift; they’re receiving an introduction to your brand’s offerings. When the recipient enjoys and uses the gift, it naturally encourages brand recall, leading to increased visibility and, in many cases, new business opportunities. This makes corporate gifting not just an act of goodwill, but an integral part of your marketing strategy. Each thoughtful gift is an opportunity to initiate a dialogue, enhance client satisfaction, and ultimately drive growth.
In the competitive business landscape, standing out requires more than just delivering great products or services; it involves creating connections and experiences that resonate. Corporate gifting, when done right, serves as a powerful tool to elevate your brand and establish lasting impressions. It’s an investment in relationships that continues to pay dividends in the form of loyalty, trust, and opportunity. So, why not use the power of thoughtful gifting to show your clients, partners, and employees that they matter? After all, a gift is more than just an object—it’s a message, a gesture, and an experience that can work wonders for your business.

A Breakthrough in India’s Medical Industry: Bangalore Hospitals Introduces the First 640 Slice CT Scan Imaging
Bangalore, 23rd December 2024 – Bangalore Hospitals, a renowned brand in healthcare innovation and quality, has introduced the first-ever 640-slice CT Scan imaging technology in India, setting a global benchmark for the least radiation exposure ever in a CT scan. This cutting-edge technology guarantees quicker, safer, and more detailed imaging, revolutionizing diagnostic precision and reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to unmatched patient care.
The 640 Slice CT Scan stands out with its unparalleled speed and accuracy. It completes heart scans in just 3 seconds and whole-body scans in 9 seconds, providing a life-saving tool to detect issues swiftly and precisely. Amid rising concerns about sudden young cardiac deaths, this scan offers a non-invasive, rapid, and safe solution to identify potential cardiac problems before they escalate, enabling timely intervention and saving lives.
“We are raising the bar in healthcare with the adoption of this innovative technology. Our doctors can give life-saving diagnoses in rapid time thanks to the 640 Slice CT’s ability to acquire comprehensive images faster,” said Dr. Lahari Surapaneni, CEO, Bangalore Hospitals. “This demonstrates our steadfast dedication to providing patients with the best diagnostic resources currently accessible.”
Why the 640 Slice CT Scan Stands Out
· Unparalleled Safety: Delivers the least radiation exposure globally, ensuring safety even for repeated scans.
· Unmatched Speed: Completes scans in seconds, with India’s fastest rotation speed.
· Precision Diagnosis: Produces clearer images, aiding in the early detection and treatment of critical conditions.
“Our 640 Slice CT Scan Imaging offers a non-invasive solution for detecting life-threatening conditions before they escalate,” said Dr. Abhishek Mannem, Medical Director, Bangalore Hospitals. “This technology enables patients and professionals to take prompt action by clearly exposing concealed concerns. It’s a dedication to saving lives, not merely an advancement in technology.”
I would consider the 640 Slice CT as a noninvasive cardiac angiogram, particularly for patients with Chest Pain and any patients that are at high risk for a heart attack. This machine gives high quality and high resolution coronary angiograms as well as peripheral angiograms and the images are really accurate. It is a very good noninvasive screening test and is highly recommended to rule out blockages of arteries in high risk individuals such as those with longstanding diabetes, smokers as well as those with family history of cardiac deaths, as per medical advice said Dr. CN Manjunath, Member of Parliament and Director of Cardiac Services, Bangalore Hospitals.
The launch also marks a transformative chapter for Bangalore Hospitals, which is regaining its former glory under new management. Now operating under a USA-based brand, the hospital embraces transparent, truthful practices, enhancing its standing as a beacon of trust and excellence.
Dr. Lahari continued, “Our goal has always been to blend state-of-the-art technology with a human touch. We’re making that mission a reality for each and every patient who enters our doors with the 640 Slice CT.”

Winter Calls for Comfort Food – Phurr is the Place to Be This Holiday Season
Bangalore, 23rd December 2024: There’s something magical about winter that takes us back to simpler times—cuddled in blankets, the aroma of slow-cooked meals wafting from the kitchen, and plates brimming with warmth and love. Phurr, Bangalore’s innovative fine-dining haven, captures this essence of winter nostalgia and translates it into a culinary journey that feels like a homecoming. Known for its innovative take on vegetarian cuisine, Phurr is breaking the mold of traditional fine dining by offering dishes that comfort the soul while tantalizing the palate.
At the heart of Phurr’s winter offerings are dishes that go beyond the plate to tell stories. Take the Punjabi Kadhi Chawal with Onion Fritters, for instance—its creamy tanginess topped with crisp onion fritters instantly conjures images of chilly afternoons spent in family kitchens, where every spoonful brought comfort. Similarly, the Overnight Dal Makhani, rich and velvety, evokes memories of gatherings where food simmered patiently, picking up layers of flavor and love.
And then there’s Sarson Da Saag, a quintessential North Indian winter delicacy. Paired with golden, buttery makki di roti, it’s a dish steeped in tradition, evoking the joy of mustard fields and the crackling warmth of tandoors. For North Indians in Bangalore, these dishes are a trip down memory lane; for South Indian diners, they’re an invitation to discover a new palate that is as hearty as it is homely.
While nostalgia takes center stage, Phurr’s menu also celebrates the season with inventive pairings and global twists. For those seeking something warm and whimsical, the Creamy Spinach Soup with Mini Paneer Momos is the epitome of winter indulgence—a delicate balance of comfort and refinement. The Tomato Rasam Soup with Mini Uttapam, spiced to perfection, wraps you in warmth, while the grills and tandoor offerings like Classic Paneer Tikka and Vegetable Seekh Kabab with Cheese Core bring a smoky embrace that’s hard to resist.
No winter meal is complete without dessert, and Phurr’s sweet creations are crafted to evoke cherished childhood memories. What truly sets Phurr apart is its ability to transform desserts into unforgettable experiences. The whimsical Ja-Moon Cheesecake is a delightful fusion of creamy cheesecake and the rich sweetness of gulab jamun, adorned with rose petals and a hint of cardamom-infused cream. Traditional favorites like Phurrrrr Lucknow Malaiyo and Feni Nest Rabdi transport you to winter evenings filled with family banter, celebrating the rich legacy of Indian sweets. At Phurr, every bite is a nostalgic journey, blending tradition with innovation to create memorable dessert experiences.
Phurr’s reimagining of fine dining isn’t just about elegance on a plate; it’s about creating an emotional connection through food. Phurr is redefining what it means to dine fine—inviting you to shed the stiffness of formal dining and embrace the warmth of food that feels familiar yet extraordinary. It’s not just about eating; it’s about reliving cherished moments and creating new ones, all while savoring the perfect balance of nostalgia and novelty.
