The BITS-TEC at Rajasthan will act as a HuB and will create an ecosystem for technology development in the regional Universities and will provide a platform to network researchers with other Institutes, National laboratories, and Industries.

After successfully launching office strata-sale-focused ANAROCK Commercial in 2020, the Group sees this move as the logical next step toward completing its industry-defining real estate services portfolio.

Anuj Puri

Anuj Puri“It is well known that a sizeable segment of our leadership has a highly pedigreed commercial real estate background,” says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “However, our business strategy is phased expansion. While commercial office leasing has always been a must-have in our portfolio, we wanted to wait for the right moment in time to launch this vertical. That time is now – and given Peush Jain’s established track record, we are in a strong position to capture significant market share in this segment.”

A real estate industry veteran with 23 years of experience in commercial real estate leasing, Peush Jain has deep industry relationships with domestic and multinational occupiers, owners, and investors in various asset classes. Before his appointment at ANAROCK, he held leadership roles in international property consultancies CBRE and Colliers International.

The time is indeed right for the Group to explore the lucrative office leasing sector, which is performing much better in India than in even the most advanced economies. According to ANAROCK Research, the Indian office market has demonstrated remarkable resilience despite global uncertainties. Projections indicate that office leasing in India will reach an unprecedented milestone by surpassing 50 million square feet by 2024-end.

Currently occupying approximately 200 million square feet, GCCs are anticipated to expand their footprint to 280-300 million square feet in the next 3-4 years, triggering a demand surge of 80-100 million square feet. Key drivers in this growth include segments such as manufacturing, engineering R&D, technology, and BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance).
