Evolution of Real Estate: 40 Years of Market Change | Vinod Thakkar | Off Market Ep. 1
40 years of Indian real estate- from liberalisation and market booms to Lehman Brothers, demonetisation, RERA, COVID and the market we see today. In Episode 1 of Off Market, I sit down with Vinod Thakkar, Founder of @S@Squarefeetindiato trace the evolution of real estate through four decades of change. We talk about what the market looked like when he entered the industry, how the 1991 economic reforms changed the landscape, the impact of the 2008 financial crisis, the arrival of property portals, demonetisation, RERA, GST, COVID, changing buyer behaviour and what today’s real estate market looks like compared to the one he started in. More than just a look back, this conversation is about understanding how the industry became what it is today, through the eyes of someone who has witnessed those changes firsthand. Off Market is a podcast that goes beyond transactions to explore the people, decisions, stories and market shifts shaping Indian real estate.
