They are driving the company’s growth, solidifying its position as one of South India’s leading real estate developers.
Upon joining Vaishnavi Group, one of South India’s leading commercial and residential developers,along with C N Govindaraju, a doyen of the industry, his sons Darshan and Kishan Govindaraju, have been ushering in an era of rapid growth led by a customer-centric focus, technology and sustainability. The second-generation businessmen have been a part of the journey catapulting the company from a boutique developer to a real estate powerhouse with significant interests in Grade-A commercial office spaces, high-end. residential and built-to-suit projects. This has made Vaishnavi Group the preferred developer of choice for commercial occupiers and home buyers in Bengaluru and Mysuru. “Transforming Vaishnavi Group from a legacy company into a real estate powerhouse through technology, innovation, planning and aspirational positioning has been our greatest contribution,” opine Darshan and Kishan.
Charting Vaishnavi Group’s growth on their father’s principle of ‘Building from the heart’, Darshan and Kishan aim to propel India’s real estate industry to superior standards through accelerated innovations, ecosystem partnerships and exceptional customer experiences.
Armed with over 10 years of experience in the business, Darshan has been instrumental in capturing the mind space of commercial space occupiers in Bengaluru by offering state-of-the-art Grade A office parks through implementation of new-age business techniques and practices in developing robust infrastructure. His innovative bent of mind led Vaishnavi Group to introduce off-site precast construction in India for large-scale residential and commercial developments which reduced construction timelines, implemented better quality control, and reduced the usage of water and pollution levels at construction sites.
He has also been at the forefront in delivering premium residential properties with new-age amenities and efficient internal planning, thereby making the Vaishnavi Group a customer favourite. Despite being one of the foremost names in the industry, Darshan considers Vaishnavi a boutique company operating in its own niche segment with an intent to maximise per- square-foot earnings from projects.At the same time, Kishan has been spearheading Vaishnavi Group’s complete back-end operations including architecture, site development and greater inclusion of technology across the value chain.
This is bringing in efficiencies through a seamless blend of technology into every aspect of real estate operations, catapulting Vaishnavi to the status of one of the top developers in the country in terms of systems and processes.
Under Kishan’s leadership, the group has committed to India’s Net Zero target by 2070 by accelerating its efforts towards emerging as a sustainable realty developer. “As a committed corporate citizen, we have been bringing sustainable best-practices from across the world and incorporating it into building standards to reduce pollution, water intake and thereby reducing the carbon footprint,” he expresses. Kishan is also leading Vaishnavi’s efforts in creating an ecosystem of sustainability partners to scientifically build and incorporate practices which enable less usage of resources through technology.
The two brothers bring distinct personalities to the table which are quite synergistic in their contribution to the growth of the company and are reflective of Vaishnavi Group’s ambitious plans over the next decade.
TRANSFORMING VAISHNAVI GROUP FROM A LEGACY COMPANY INTO A REAL ESTATE POWERHOUSE THROUGH TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION, PLANNING AND ASPIRATIONAL POSITIONING HAS BEEN OUR GREATEST CONTRIBUTION.
