“Realty in India is intimately connected to progress, to growth, to business success, and to the asset building of its populace. Though Real Estate investments in the coming years may not give the returns it has been giving for the last 2 decades, this can only be seen as a sign of the maturity of the Industry. Maintaining a good Reputation in this competitive Sector is a tough task, as the Industry is intricately connected to social status, finances, and foresightedness. Consequently, brands need to be certain about the risks they take, as it may just result in them losing their hard-earned and hard-fought Reputation,” said Pooja Kaura, Chief Spokesperson for India’s Most Reputed Brands.

India’s Most Reputed Real Estate Brands was a study conducted within the Real Estate Industry with BlueBytes analyzing news of 57 realty brands in all the major English and Hindi print media (newspapers and magazines) across 9 cities as a representative of the news across all media. A total of more than 27,000 articles related to different Real Estate brands were captured in the period between August 15, 2015, and August 15, 2016.
