JC Sharma, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Sobha, said, “Our all-time-high sales volume achieved during the quarter is very encouraging. We expect to sustain the momentum along with gain in market share. We are moving in the right direction with confidence. The real estate sector has been continuously exuding signs of optimism as the fear of Covid-19 wanes.”
Online platforms
“The pandemic took its toll but also threw up AI-based technologies that created a convenient environment for buyers and developers. This emergence and acceptance of Proptech has redefined the real estate sector in India today. Credible builders with a proven track record of delivery excellence stand to gain immensely. It has augured well for Sobha,” he said.
Sharma added that the innumerable interactions between the developers and the buyers have moved to online platforms, bringing in seamlessness in business transaction and ease of doing so.
