Precious metals have always played a distinct role in investment portfolio. They are not growth assets in the conventional sense, nor are they purely defensive instruments. Instead, gold and silver sit at the intersection of wealth preservation, inflation hedging, and portfolio diversification. As 2026 approaches, investors are once again weighing a familiar question: gold or silver, which offers a...

When you buy a new home, all you can think about is moving in and maybe even hosting a ceremony! However, is moving into a new apartment just about finishing the paperwork, fixing a date and relocating all your stuff? There’s a lot more to it! A home is where you feel secure and live carefree. Before you step in, it is essential to make sure your new home is all set to welcome you. From basic...

Step into any newly built apartment today and you’ll sense it instantly—something has changed. The walls feel lighter, the spaces more intentional, the idea of “forever” a little less rigid. In India, housing is no longer just about owning property; it’s about how that space fits into life itself. The Future of Housing: What Millennials and Gen Z Really Want From a Home isn’t driven by...

For many investors, real estate investment and home loans go hand in hand. Very few people buy property entirely with cash, especially in metro cities where prices run into crores. Used correctly, a home loan can act as a powerful leverage tool, allowing investors to build wealth with limited upfront capital. Used poorly, it can strain cash flows and turn a promising investment into a...

You moved to a new city for work. At first, everything felt temporary—the rented house, the unfamiliar streets, the language you were still learning to decode. The job was good, the salary steady, and life… manageable. You told yourself you’d figure things out later. But somewhere between rent hikes, office conversations, and weekend house-hunting stories, a quiet question started following...

Building a home is one of the most personal investments a person will ever make. It is also one of the most financially vulnerable moments in the property lifecycle. Across markets—whether in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, or Europe—the story is strikingly similar: budgets stretch, timelines slip, and costs quietly inflate long before the keys are handed over. After more than two decades...

Imagine a monsoon evening in Mumbai: the rain is relentless, water seeps up the street, and the once-secure dream home is swept away. Move to Delhi in May, when the heat is so fierce that even covered balconies offer no respite. These are no longer extraordinary extremes; they are now part of everyday city life.  This is where the debate over climate change and real estate really...

Asset allocation is the most important decision an investor makes. More than individual stock selection or market timing, it determines long-term risk, return stability, and capital preservation. Within this framework, real estate occupies a unique position. It is neither a pure growth asset like equities nor a low-risk income instrument like bonds. Instead, it sits in between, offering a blend of income...

Women’s property rights have been a pivotal issue in the fight for gender equality, financial independence and social empowerment in India. Historically, women have encountered both legal obstacles and cultural norms that hindered their ability to inherit, own and manage property on par with men. However, as societal structures evolved, cities expanded, and women’s participation in the workforce...

India is not just building roads and railways anymore — it’s engineering growth corridors. And at the heart of this transformation lies the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). If highways were the growth engines of the 2000s and metro rail defined the 2010s, RRTS is the wealth-creator of the next 20 years — especially for real estate. Let’s break it down simply, honestly, and practically...
