CREDAI- the apex body of the real estate developers of India
has been a catalyst in the growth of the industry since 1999. Years of hard
work and innovation has fueled the organization to understand the concerns of
real estate developers in India in order to achieve the goal of the
organisation. CREDAI has been a stimulus in organizing and hosting events where
all the stakeholders from the industry
that is government representatives, policy makers, investors, finance companies
and real estate professionals can gather
and discuss the issues concerned thus influencing each other to work
towards mutual growth.
The last year’s CREDAI Conclave-2011 was hosted by the
Confederation the apex body representing private Real Estate developers in the
country. Eminent speakers and young face of India around the globe attended the
first of its kind mega conclave of the Real Estate sector in India.
Widely recognized as the most anticipated gathering of the
real estate sector of the country, the CREDAI Conclave-2011 was organized on
the theme of ‘Mission Transparency-Reassess, Realign, and Reform’. The
Conclave’s main focus was to influence the formulation of a stronger growth
platform for this industry, while overcoming its obstacles and providing the
necessary stimulus for realigning its growth.
Through the Conclave, CREDAI addressed the most pressing
roadblock in the development of real estate sector of the country- Corruption,
and with aim to create better transparency in the sector which will thus enable
a faster growth of the sector.
CREDAI observed that over the years the real estate industry
has been despoiled in the news, more for its unclean affairs than being
projected in the light of prolific businesses and contribution towards nation
building. Most in the business have been the victims and facing the brunt
because of the few beneficiaries out there who spoil the game. CREDAI has
always focused to end the draconian arrangement and pave a way for better
transparency in order to make the real estate sector a bigger factor in the
growth of the country.
Revolving around the theme of ‘Mission
Transparency-Reassess, Realign, Reform’, the Conclave tried to engage the
Generation Next where on the first day the young Indian developers spelt their
ambition, ideas, requirements and expectations for the new skyline of Indian
real estate. CREDAI also introduced “Youth Wing” where youth icons of the
county discussed about the role that the youth is expected to play is the
progress of the country.
The two day session at CREDAI Conclave 2011 over the period
of two days had brainstorming sessions on understating the role of Central,
State and Municipal Government as promoters of transparency; empowering
financial institutions for smoother and sustainable fund flows; the need of an
effective regulator and the voice of a consumer; state-wise real state growth
patterns and feedback from CREDAI working committees across states to achieve
this common goal of the developer panel.
This year CREDAI has come up with a new understanding, research
and action and the conclave is organized on the theme “Housing: The Game Changer; Leading to double digit
growth”. CREDAI understands India will have nearly 900 million urban
population by 2020 which would require to be employed and housed. Real Estate
has the potential to create the right economic environment for such a
population expansion. As of today the sector is the second largest employer
after agriculture and its multiplier effect on other industries is also
evident. Thus the potential of the real estate sector to create a positive and
widespread impact on the growth of the Indian economy should be recognized and
encouraged at all levels. In CREDAI Conclave 2013, we aim to seek to understand
how the potential of the housing sector can be maximized to ensure it
contributes, to its best capabilities, towards the country's economic growth.
It will also take a look at a few examples from across the world where housing
has performed to a much greater potential.
