The event featured three panel discussions, focusing on key industry topics, “Modern Infrastructure Management and Infrastructure,” “The New Buyers – Shifting Paradigm,” and “The Role of Infrastructure in Urban Development.” The first panel discussion included prominent figures such as Vivek Singhal, CEO, Smart World Developers Pvt.

This session highlighted the latest advancements and challenges in construction management, offering a comprehensive look at the industry’s future.

Whenever it comes to Aluminium formwork solutions, Eins Technik consistently stands out as a trusted supplier for contractors, real estate developers, and construction companies, adeptly handling their diverse and complex infrastructure projects.”
As a developer, our primary focus is to meet our customers’ expectations, which is delivering high quality products in a timely manner for which they are willing to pay the fair price. While the modular approach is excellent, with its reduced workmanship challenges, it brings the concept of factory finish to the forefront. However, we do not engage in a modular approach for development of our projects with the sole idea of cost saving.” says Vivek Singhal, CEO, Smartworld Developers
In a captivating fireside chat moderated by Pooja Singh, Shamsheer Singh, Director at Advance India Projects Limited (AIPL), provided profound insights into the company’s strategies and the broader real estate landscape. This engaging discussion facilitated a comprehensive understanding of the personal and professional trajectories that influence the industry.

Salil Kumar, Director, CRC Group added, connecting with ‘The New Buyers’ means understanding their changing needs and values. By embracing change and innovation, we create meaningful experiences that resonate with them, driving our growth and success together.
Samir Kochhar introduced Dr. Sarvesh Tiwari, Founder and Managing Director, PRP group, and he moderated the third panel discussion, “Role of Infrastructure in Urban Development.” This session brought together key figures such as Jatin Goel, Executive Director of Omaxe Ltd., Subodh Jain, Former Member of Engineering at the Railway Board, Sanjeev Kumar Lohia, and real estate expert Gaurav Goyal.

Dr.Sarvesh Tiwari, PRP Group speaking on the association said, “The recent event marked a significant milestone as it was the first time the infrastructure and real estate fraternity came together. It was a memorable experience enriched by the knowledge and insight of eminent speakers. Times Realty and Infrastructure Conclave was a resounding success. As a great fan of Shri Gaur Gopal Das, it was an absolute privilege to listen to his wisdom and guidance.”
Jatin Goel, Executive Director Omaxe Limited quoted, “The retail landscape has evolved significantly. Consumers are now seeking immersive experiences over mere shopping. This shift is evident as F&B spaces in malls have expanded to over 45%, creating family-friendly environments. For instance, our Chandni Chowk project’s Dawatpur food court captures Old Delhi’s heritage, redefining malls as centres of leisure and lifestyle, not just commerce.”
Gaurav Goyal said, “ The event was an enriching experience and was like unlocking a treasure trove of industry insights, networking opportunities, and innovative ideas. It’s an invaluable experience where knowledge meets opportunity, and where every conversation could potentially shape the future of the real estate journey.
