NAR-INDIA, the apex national level Organization of realtors, after its highly successful 7th Annual Convention in Bangalore will now hold its 10th Annual Convention in Bangalore, India, on the 23rd - 24th - 25th October, 2018, at the Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center, hosted by the Bangalore Realtors Association-India (BRAI).

The Convention is the most sought after annual event where realtors, developers, investors, and other slake holders in real estate from all over India and the world converge to share and learn, but above all to connect to do business with each other.

With rapid globalization and India surging ahead economically, and with networking and collaborating replacing individual transactions, it is of paramount importance that realtors, developers and investors connect with each other across geographies to form reliable business associations, and build more profitable businesses.

The exhibition gives an ideal opportunity for Developers to reach out to realtors and investors, and an equally ideal opportunity for realtors and investors to get first hand information on Developers and their projects across the country. An array of attractive business and learning sessions are proposed to be held over the 2-day Convention to help achieve better perspectives of the real estate industry and thus grow in the exciting future that lies ahead. The 10th Convention promises to be the biggest realty congregation in India with an expected convergence of over 1500 delegates from 40 cities across India and International delegates from 40 countries. NAR-INDIA has a total strength of over 50,000 members and associates. The delegates will include a rich mix of Realtors, Developers, Architects, Lawyers, Investors, Venture Capital Firms, Equity Funds, Real Estate Professionals, Corporate Real Estate Heads, Project & Facility Managers, Property Valuers, Chartered Accountants, Financial Institutions, etc. The two-day event will be packed with engaging and informative activities such as promotions by our leading sponsors, expositions, panel discussions, educational programs, brain-storming sessions, cultural activities, etc, culminating in a gala closing event.

The event will be given wide publicity by leading newspapers, hoardings, radio, business television channels, social media and other promotions and advertising across the city.

The Convention enables Developers to promote their brands and create awareness among realtors across the country at a fraction of the cost of other promotional activities.

NAR-INDIA, the single national level organization of realtors, aims at changing the country's skyline by elevating the standards of practice of the Real Estate Brokerage business to a global level where ethics, transparency, accountability, rule of law, and governance prevail.

Friends once again we are holding our convention in the garden city of Bengaluru which also happens to be the IT capital of the country and the capital of Karnataka.

Once again, the convention is being hosted by the BRAI and once again I have no doubt it will be a stupendous success.

When we meet in Bengaluru, we will be at least 50-member strong association.

Organised Realty in our country is witnessing major changes that threaten to change the way we do business and offer service to our clients. Structural change brought about by instrument of legislation is only one aspect that we will have to deal with. The whole Eco system is undergoing a churning that will affect our ability to earn and our business turnover in the future.

Our growth will depend on our ability to continuously learn technology and new skills to give our clients reasons to seek our services. It will also depend on our ability to find better and more effective ways to source clients, generate leads and convert them into satisfied clients.

The evolving Real-Estate market also has tremendous opportunities: -New verticals are offering opportunities as the market becomes more sophisticated., newer products are being designed to cater to different market segments.. There are green shoots already, indicating that a strong revival in demand is around the corner, Our members are uniquely positioned to exploit the emerging opportunities. We offer multicity solutions to our clients. We have access to MLS systems which other members of our fraternity do not have, Our members have training in latest technology and tools available to cater to clients, I see a very positive and prosperous future for our industry in an environment that is becoming more and more transparent, accountable and one that puts a premium on professionalised services.

Good Luck & may the good times prevail for all of us.

The 2018 NAR -INDIA Convention in Bengaluru gives us an opportunity to gather under one roof again.

Now in its 10th year, NAR-INDIA has grown into a pan-India organization with 47 member associations, and is now recognized by the Government of India as the official voice of realtors in India.

During this year as President, NAR-INDIA I have had the pleasure and privilege of travelling across the length and breadth of the country, meeting you in your own cities, participating in a wide variety of events organized by you, seeing our great organization in action. This has reinforced my belief that bonding is our greatest strength and that collaboration can work wonders for our business.

The world around us is changing rapidly, and so is the business and regulatory environment. The real estate development industry is going through a very difficult period, and it is inevitable that we realtors also suffer the transition pangs. This phase will certainly test our mettle. The hallmarks of those who emerge from this period stronger, will be Transparency, Accountability and Compliance.

I believe the days to come will see the industry changing into a faster and fitter industry, Let us use this time constructively and creatively. Let us share our knowledge and new ideas, understand our environment better and develop greater respect for the needs and aspirations of our customers

I thank Bangalore Realtors Association India for taking up the challenge of hosting the 2018 Convention and wish them all success in their endeavour. Come October, I look forward to meeting you all in India's Garden City, Bengaluru.
