“With the current challenges that the sector is facing, I, along with my able team, will focus on driving efforts to revive the real estate sector and provide a stimulus to boost the business environment. We will also further our commitment to skill development, green buildings, and labour welfare,” Patodia said.
Magar said the industry faced challenging times, especially due to global pandemic and nation-wide lockdown.
“However, our efforts throughout were focused to revive the sector and bring desired attention of the government to do the same. We believe CREDAI will now reach newer heights under the able leadership of Patodia, given his experience and holistic outlook towards the sector,” he added.
