Notably, this agreement marks Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ official entry into the Guwahati market, which continues to emerge as a key commercial and tourism gateway to Northeast India. The upcoming hotel will feature 190 contemporary guest rooms and suites designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers. Additionally, the property will operate as a pure-vegetarian hotel, reflecting evolving guest preferences and regional demand trends.

Furthermore, the company will position the hotel as a full-service upscale offering with a comprehensive range of amenities. The property will include multiple dining venues, large banquet and conferencing facilities, and wellness amenities such as a fitness centre, spa, and swimming pool. As a result, the hotel will cater to diverse customer segments, including corporate travellers and event organisers. Moreover, the expansive banquet spaces will complement the room inventory and establish the property as a preferred destination for weddings, social events, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) activities in Guwahati.

Representing the ownership, Vijay Singh Daga and Pankaj Kumar Jain of Om Arham Ventures commented, “We are proud to partner with Wyndham to introduce an internationally recognized upscale brand to Guwahati. With a pure-vegetarian positioning and significant banquet capacity, we are confident the hotel will set new benchmarks for upscale hospitality and events in the region.”

From the brand perspective, Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director, Eurasia, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, added, “Guwahati is rapidly emerging as a key commercial and tourism gateway for Northeast India, and we are excited to introduce our flagship Wyndham brand to the city. As connectivity and economic activity continue to grow across the region, we see strong demand for upscale hospitality experiences. This signing reinforces our strategy of expanding in high-growth gateway markets while delivering globally recognised brands supported by Wyndham’s powerful distribution network.”

As infrastructure and connectivity improve across Northeast India, this upscale hotel project aims to elevate the region’s hospitality standards while catering to rising demand for premium travel and event experiences.

Sharing his thoughts on the signing, Suhail Kannampilly, Managing Director, The Fern Hotels & Resorts, said, “Gujarat continues to be a key market in our growth strategy, offering immense potential driven by increasing tourism, commercial development, and infrastructure expansion. The signing of Desert Inn Beacon, Greater Rann of Kutch, further strengthens our regional footprint and aligns with our vision to expand into emerging destinations with quality hospitality offerings that cater to the evolving needs of today’s travellers.”

Furthermore, highlighting the partnership, Prahlad Singh, Partner, Hotel Desert Inn, said, “We are delighted to partner with The Fern Hotels & Resorts for Desert Inn Beacon, Greater Rann of Kutch. With The Fern’s strong brand reputation, operational excellence, and commitment to sustainable hospitality, we are confident that this collaboration will create a distinctive hospitality destination in the region and offer guests a memorable and elevated stay experience.”

The company will develop the upcoming property with 35 well-designed rooms and suites, thereby ensuring a refined and comfortable stay for both business and leisure travellers. Additionally, the hotel will feature an all-day dining restaurant that will offer a wide range of culinary options in an inviting setting, making it suitable for casual dining as well as social gatherings.

Moreover, the hotel will cater to corporate and social requirements by offering well-equipped event facilities, positioning it as an ideal venue for meetings, conferences, and celebrations. At the same time, guests will be able to relax and rejuvenate with amenities such as a swimming pool and dedicated recreation facilities, thereby enhancing the overall guest experience.

The Fern Hotels & Resorts continues to strengthen its footprint in Gujarat’s growing hospitality market through strategic partnerships and expansion into emerging destinations like the Rann of Kutch.

Furthermore, the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Authority will actively support the initiative by facilitating approvals and clearances, providing access to identified land parcels and tourism zones, and extending incentives under the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Policy (2024–2029). In addition, the authority will lead investor outreach efforts, ensuring that the collaboration drives both infrastructure expansion and employment generation. As a result, the initiative is expected to create around 700 jobs, reinforcing the state’s commitment to tourism-led economic growth.

Kahraman Yigit, Co-founder and CEO of Olive Hospitality, said, “Andhra Pradesh is seeing significant growth as a key destination for tourism and travel across multiple circuits. Our focus through this partnership is to accelerate that growth by building a strong network of branded hospitality assets that make travel across the state more seamless, predictable, and scalable—benefiting both travellers and investors.”

Meanwhile, India’s tourism sector continues to expand rapidly, driven by rising domestic travel, increasing international arrivals, and growing demand across religious, leisure, and emerging destinations. Consequently, the need for high-quality, well-distributed branded accommodation has become critical to sustaining this momentum. Against this backdrop, Olive Hospitality’s collaboration with the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Authority establishes a robust framework for long-term cooperation, effectively aligning private investment with public policy.

Overall, this MoU marks a significant milestone in strengthening Andhra Pradesh’s tourism infrastructure. By planning 2,000 branded hotel keys across major destinations, the partnership aims to enhance travel experiences, attract sustained investment, and generate employment, thereby positioning the state as a key growth hub in India’s evolving hospitality landscape.

Strategically located along the riverfront in Kota, the upcoming resort will cater to a diverse mix of corporate, leisure, and group travelers. Notably, Kota has established itself as a prominent educational hub; however, it also plays a crucial role as an industrial center, with sectors such as chemicals, cement, engineering, and power contributing significantly to its economic landscape. Consequently, ongoing infrastructure development and improved connectivity are increasing the demand for branded accommodation in the city.

Furthermore, the project will be located approximately 10 kilometres from the proposed Kota Airport, which will enhance connectivity to major domestic and international destinations. In addition, Kota continues to attract visitors for its rich cultural heritage, including forts, palaces, havelis, and stepwells, thereby strengthening its appeal as a tourism destination.

The resort will feature 200 guest rooms and villas, along with a comprehensive range of amenities. Additionally, it will include an all-day dining restaurant and a bar, while also offering meeting and event facilities as well as banqueting spaces. Moreover, the property will provide a fitness center, a swimming pool, a spa, and multiple recreational areas, thereby ensuring a well-rounded hospitality experience for guests.

Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director – Eurasia, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said, “With Kota emerging as a prominent commercial and educational center in Rajasthan, we are pleased to strengthen our presence in the region with a globally recognized and trusted brand. By focusing on tier-II and tier-III cities, we aim to tap into new growth opportunities and cater to the evolving preferences of guests across India’s rapidly expanding markets.”

Wyndham’s latest signing underscores its strategic focus on expanding into high-growth tier-II and tier-III cities. As infrastructure improves and travel demand rises, Ramada Resort by Wyndham Talera Kota will capitalize on the city’s dual strength as an educational and industrial hub while also enhancing the region’s hospitality landscape.

Unlike traditional fractional ownership platforms that aggregate completed properties and focus largely on rental yields, PropTurtle operates around active value creation. Specifically, the platform emphasizes co-development, professional project execution, and clearly defined exit strategies. Consequently, PropTurtle caters to high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and non-resident Indians (NRIs) who seek structured, transparent, and higher-return real estate investment opportunities in India.

In contrast, most existing fractional real estate platforms follow a passive aggregation model, where investors acquire small stakes in ready-to-lease assets and rely mainly on rental income. As a result, such investments typically generate annual yields of 8–10%. PropTurtle, however, challenges this approach by enabling investors to enter projects during the development phase, which is when the majority of real estate value creation takes place.

By investing at the “builder price,” investors gain exposure to both operational income and capital appreciation at exit. Moreover, this dual-engine return framework mirrors institutional investment strategies commonly used by private equity funds and large developers. Through structured ownership models, PropTurtle now extends these strategies to fractional investors.

PropTurtle is backed by a founding team that combines corporate strategy with hands-on real estate execution. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Chandra Mouli Goddanti brings extensive expertise in business strategy and capital structuring. Previously, he served as Chief Business Officer at EBG Group, where he worked across diversified portfolios spanning technology, manufacturing, and real estate.

Meanwhile, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Raj Karan Puppala contributes deep operational experience from leadership roles at RK Builders & Developers and Sree Shrestam Apart Hotels. Additionally, he holds CREDAI membership and has completed formal business leadership training at IIM Bangalore. At PropTurtle, the founding team actively oversees construction progress, regulatory compliance, cost controls, and operational readiness, thereby significantly reducing execution risks commonly associated with development-stage investing.

Each investment opportunity on the platform operates through a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Accordingly, every SPV outlines clear ownership rights, cash flow distribution mechanisms, and predefined exit pathways from the outset. Furthermore, PropTurtle places strong emphasis on RERA compliance, legal due diligence, and financial transparency.

Initially, the platform focuses on boutique hospitality and strategic commercial real estate located in high-growth corridors. Notably, one of its debut offerings includes The Garuda Gateway, a boutique airport hotel project in Tirupati, which stands to benefit from rising pilgrimage tourism and expanding regional air connectivity.

At the same time, PropTurtle is developing partnerships for commercial income-generating assets aligned with infrastructure-led growth zones. Through this approach, the platform aims to build resilient, cash-generating real estate businesses rather than standalone property investments.

With a minimum investment threshold of ₹25 lakhs, PropTurtle targets serious investors who look beyond traditional residential property or low-yield rental products. Accordingly, the company positions itself as an institutional gatekeeper, offering curated access to opportunities typically reserved for developers, private funds, and large family offices.

As fractional real estate investing in India continues to mature, PropTurtle seeks to establish itself as a compliance-driven, execution-focused platform that prioritizes governance, transparency, and sustainable wealth creation instead of short-term yield chasing.

The company’s performance has been enabled by strengthening its supplier network, onboarding enterprise customers, and achieving operational stabilisation at scale. It has also built a consistent ability to deliver material within 24 hours, supported by a streamlined supply chain and high supplier responsiveness. Enlight Metals actively supplies metals to EPC contractors and enterprise buyers engaged in large public infrastructure initiatives, including metro rail corridors, airport construction and expansion projects, industrial parks, logistics hubs, and renewable energy installations.

Commenting on the milestone, Vedant Goel, CEO and Co-founder of Enlight Metals, said, “Crossing 75,000 tonnes of executed supply by the end of Q3 is a strong validation of our operating model and execution capabilities. This volume reflects real, on-the-ground deliveries across infrastructure, industrial, and enterprise customers. With confirmed demand and orders in place, we are confident of closing FY 2025–26 at approximately 1.25 lakh tonnes. The second half of the year typically sees higher bulk consumption from large infrastructure projects, and our supply planning is closely aligned with this trend.”

Looking ahead, Enlight Metals aims to scale annual volumes to 2–2.2 lakh tonnes in FY 2026–27. The company’s growth strategy will focus on deeper engagement with EPC contractors and OEMs, increased participation in national infrastructure programs, and expanded involvement in airports, metro rail projects, and renewable energy developments, along with measured geographic expansion.

As part of this plan, Enlight Metals will establish additional aggregation hubs and regional warehouses in FY 2026–27, aligned with demand concentration in key infrastructure and industrial clusters. These expansions will follow an asset-light, phased approach, aimed at reducing delivery timelines, improving service consistency, and supporting higher throughput as volumes scale.

With a strong execution track record and a growing enterprise footprint, Enlight Metals continues to position itself as a reliable metals supply partner for India’s rapidly expanding infrastructure and industrial ecosystem.

About Enlight Metals Pvt. Ltd.

Headquartered in Pune, Enlight Metals Pvt. Ltd. was founded in 2024 as a next-generation metal aggregator serving India’s core industrial sectors. The company simplifies metal sourcing for OEMs and infrastructure players by connecting them with verified suppliers and manufacturers, ensuring quality, competitive pricing, and transparency.

Enlight Metals currently serves over 500 OEMs across Maharashtra and beyond, supporting industries such as automobile manufacturing, railways, cable tray fabrication, solar and wind energy, heavy engineering, and construction.

Notably, the PMES vertical has commenced operations at scale, onboarding over 500 professionals and securing 42 active client mandates at launch. The new business line will generate more than INR 125 crore in revenue in FY 2026–27, thereby contributing meaningfully to ANAROCK’s group-wide revenue target of INR 1,100 crore. Moreover, with a clearly defined growth roadmap, ANAROCK PMES aims to scale revenues to INR 300 crore by FY28, while actively addressing rising demand for professional, technology-led project execution across India’s rapidly expanding real estate market.

To support this ambitious growth trajectory, ANAROCK has assembled a seasoned leadership team with extensive expertise across residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments.

Accordingly, Amit Jaitly leads operations as Managing Director for West and North India, while Tarunankur Nag heads Central and East India as Managing Director. At the same time, Veeresh S Manjunatha oversees Karnataka operations as Managing Director, and Nishanth Kumar drives pan-India expansion as Regional Director – Business Development.

In addition, a strong senior leadership bench supports execution across regions. This team includes Amol Rane (Director – Developments, West India), Vijay Kori (VP – Commercial Developments, Karnataka), Ramana Nagireddy (VP – Residential Developments, Karnataka), Anandkumar Patil (Senior Director – Andhra Pradesh & Telangana), and Mani Ganesh (Senior Director – Tamil Nadu & Odisha), collectively ensuring operational excellence nationwide.

Explaining the rationale behind the launch, Anuj Puri, Chairman, ANAROCK, said, “We have launched PMES because our clients want the ANAROCK trademark for accountability and transparency in building their projects, not just selling them.” He further added, “With 500+ experts already on board, we aren’t just entering the market – we hit the ground running and will immediately set a new benchmark. By integrating best-in-class technology, rigorous processes, and senior talent, we are delivering the on-time, on-budget promise that modern real estate demands.”

Meanwhile, industry fundamentals strongly support ANAROCK’s strategic move. India’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) market is estimated at USD 69.28 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 105.96 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 8.87%. Importantly, construction management services account for 56.78% of EPCM revenues, underlining growing demand for single-point accountability in complex, multi-package projects.

Furthermore, the residential EPCM segment continues to grow at a CAGR of 11.56%, supported by sustained housing demand and regulatory reforms such as PMAY and RERA. Large-scale initiatives, including India’s USD 1.4 trillion National Infrastructure Pipeline, rising adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM), increasing digital twin mandates in public tenders, and broader use of digital and AI-driven tools in construction management, are creating strong long-term tailwinds for the EPCM sector.

Against this backdrop, the ANAROCK PMES vertical delivers a comprehensive service offering that includes Project and Construction Management Services, Turnkey and Design-Build Solutions, and Project Advisory Services for both base-build and fit-out projects, all under a single accountability framework.

Key highlights of the PMES offering include integrated proprietary technology, such as digital dashboards and workflow systems that enable real-time project tracking. Additionally, the vertical already manages over 40 million square feet across more than 42 active engagements, demonstrating immediate scale and execution capability. Looking ahead, ANAROCK PMES looks forward to capitalise on the USD 69 billion-plus EPCM opportunity as urbanisation and infrastructure-led growth continue to accelerate.

Summing up the broader vision, Anuj Puri said, “The launch of ANAROCK PMES takes our dominance on the Indian real estate landscape to the next logical level—that of guiding projects through their entire lifecycle from viability and strategy consulting to raising capital and finally to construction and sales.” He further stated, “We launched in 2017 with the sharp-focused mission of delivering unmatched value to developers and investors with industry-leading service standards and a technology-first approach. In 2026, we close the core services loop with PMES, even as we continue to explore new, innovative diversification avenues to leverage our market leadership—and to deliver on this mission.”

The public issue will include a fresh issue of shares and an offer for sale (OFS) in nearly equal proportion, according to people familiar with the matter. Moreover, a consortium of leading investment bankers — Kotak Mahindra Capital, IIFL Capital, Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, ICICI Securities, HSBC Securities, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, and Nuvama Wealth Management — will jointly manage the IPO.

The filing comes just two weeks after the company raised ₹732 crore from promoters and existing shareholders, valuing the company at around $2.8 billion. Founders Aaditya Sharda and Souvik Sengupta, through their promoter entity Silverline Homes Pvt Ltd, invested ₹250 crore in that round, boosting their stake to about 30%. Zerodha cofounder Nikhil Kamath’s NK Squared also participated with a ₹200 crore investment, alongside global investors Tiger Global, Accel India, Evolvence India Fund, and Nexus Ventures.

Founded in 2016 by Sengupta and Sharda, Infra.Market offers a wide range of building materials — from concrete, steel, and pipes to plywood, electrical appliances, and fittings — catering to real estate developers, contractors, and architects.

The company reported strong growth in FY25, closing the year with revenue of around ₹18,000 crore and profit after tax of about ₹300 crore. In FY24, it recorded ₹14,743.5 crore in revenue and a net profit of ₹378 crore, according to Tracxn. To further support expansion, Infra.Market also raised $50 million in debt from Mars Growth Capital in June, bringing its total borrowings from the fund to $150 million.

By filing for its ₹5,000 crore IPO, Infra.Market is signaling its ambition to cement its leadership in India’s construction tech sector while tapping public markets to fuel its next phase of growth. With strong backing from global investors and robust financial performance, the unicorn looks set to build on its rapid rise in the infrastructure supply chain

As part of the deal, Beta Group will acquire a 10% stake in Anta Builders, valuing the company at ₹550 crore. This partnership marks a key milestone for both companies, paving the way for expanded collaboration, operational scale-up, and innovation in India’s urban development sector.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Shareholding Agreement were signed in Thiruvananthapuram by Rajnarayan Pillai, Director of Beta Group, and Midhun Kuruvila Kurien, Managing Director of Anta Builders, in the presence of George Varghese, Managing Director of Kirloskar Industries Ltd, and Rajmohan Pillai, Chairman of Beta Group.

Additionally, Beta Group will take a seat on Anta Builders’ Board of Directors, signaling a year-long strategic commitment and a deeper alignment with the company’s long-term growth vision.

“This partnership reflects our strategic intent to participate meaningfully in India’s urban transformation journey,” a Beta Group spokesperson said.

The partnership, therefore, aims to facilitate the joint mobilization of ₹500 crore for real estate and infrastructure projects across India. Moreover, the focus will be on expanding into high-growth urban hubs such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, and Gurugram.

The partnership will focus on adopting advanced construction technologies and sustainable building practices, expanding into smart city and green infrastructure initiatives, and enhancing the capacity for high-value infrastructure development. It will also drive strategic investments in residential and commercial real estate across India’s major metropolitan cities.

With a strong portfolio of ongoing projects in Kerala, Anta Builders aims to leverage its collaboration with Beta Group to scale operations and position itself as a national player in the real estate and infrastructure sector.

This debut project will feature 175 luxury villas, signaling the company’s entry into high-end housing.

Lohia Worldspace serves as the real estate arm of Delhi-based Lohia Global, a diversified private enterprise with an annual turnover of around ₹1,200 crore.

Founded in 1979, Lohia Global operates across four key sectors—handicraft exports, electric vehicles, tiles, and solar energy. Now, in a strategic move, the group has ventured into real estate to unlock value from its 200-acre land bank spread across various cities in North India.

“Our vision with Lohia Worldspace is to create homes that are modern, meaningful, and rooted in thoughtful design,” said Pyush Lohia, Director, Lohia Worldspace. The project cost is estimated at Rs 200 crore and expected to be delivered by 2029.

Pyush stated that Moradabad is witnessing strong demand for premium homes, making it an ideal location for their debut housing project.

Last year, Lohia Global announced its entry into the real estate sector, outlining plans to invest ₹1,000 crore over the next five years to develop residential and commercial projects across India.

These developments will largely come up on high-value land parcels already owned by the group, enabling efficient use of its existing assets.

“Moradabad isn’t just where we begin. It’s where our roots are. We are proud to invest in the city’s future by offering something that uplifts its people, infrastructure, and aspirations,” said Pyush.

He mentioned that the company plans to launch additional projects in Moradabad in the coming years and is also preparing to enter the Delhi real estate market, signaling an ambitious expansion strategy for Lohia Worldspace.
