Real estate sector in India has traditionally been lagging behind other sunrise sectors in adopting new technologies. However, due to major government reforms such as RERA and GST there has been consolidation in the sector and reputed developers sense an opportunity to expand their scale of operations. This expansion needs to be backed by various technological interventions to ensure improved efficiency and transparency, which will help in achieving the ultimate goal – customer satisfaction. We are already witnessing a sea change in the way our industry is embracing and adapting to innovative designs, planning tools, software and technologies that provide better control over construction progress and ensure quality within defined budget. We are also using analytics to track and understand customer preferences. I am personally very delighted to be on the cusp of a digital revolution in our sector which will potentially transform the way we operate. – Vikas Oberoi Chairman & Managing Director, Oberoi Realt
