    Tourism Finance Corporation of India Limited to co-sponsor hospitality AIF, anchor real estate fund; SEBI filings made

    New Delhi [India], January 5: Tourism Finance Corporation of India Ltd (TFCI) has decided to expand its presence in the alternative investment space by acting as a co-sponsor and anchor investor in two Category II Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), signalling a calibrated shift towards equity-linked and asset management opportunities.

    In a regulatory disclosure, the company said it will act as co-sponsor and anchor investor in the Holystone Hospitality Fund, an equity-focused Category II AIF, with a proposed commitment of up to 5% of the total fund corpus. An application for registration of the fund has already been filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

    In addition, TFCI will act as an anchor investor in the Certus Real Estate Fund, another Category II AIF, with an investment of up to 10% of the total fund size. The application for registration of the Certus Real Estate Fund has also been submitted to SEBI.

    Commenting on the development, Anoop Bali, Managing Director of TFCI, said the move is aligned with the company’s long-term diversification strategy. “Our participation as co-sponsor and anchor investor reflects TFCI’s intent to leverage its sectoral expertise while partnering with experienced fund managers. The AIF route allows us to support the hospitality and real estate sectors in a capital-efficient manner, while creating additional avenues for value creation,” Bali said.

    Market participants view the initiative as part of TFCI’s broader transition from a niche tourism-focused lender to a diversified non-banking financial company (NBFC) with a wider financing and investment mandate. The AIF structure is also expected to provide TFCI with access to equity and quasi-equity opportunities without materially increasing balance sheet risk.

    TFCI, a specialised NBFC-ML, provides financial assistance across tourism and hospitality infrastructure, manufacturing, renewable energy, social and urban infrastructure, real estate, NBFC and housing finance company (HFC) funding, structured credit, and lending against listed securities. The company has also been expanding its digital retail lending platform.

  • Shelaji Receives Iconic Luxury Project Award for ‘The Legacy’

    Shelaji Receives Iconic Luxury Project Award for ‘The Legacy’

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 2: Mumbai’s real estate market continues to mature, with greater emphasis on design integrity, livability, and location-led value. Reinforcing this shift, Shelaji Group was recently honoured with the Iconic Luxury Project Award by The Bright Awards for its upcoming residential project, The Legacy, located in Borivali West.

    The recognition places Shelaji among a select group of developers whose projects demonstrate clarity of vision and strong future potential. Presented at a well-attended industry ceremony, the award acknowledges developments that combine architectural merit, thoughtful planning, and relevance within their respective micro-markets.

    A Developer Defined by Design and Discipline

    Shelaji has steadily built a reputation in Mumbai by focusing on quality-led development rather than volume-driven expansion. The company’s approach is rooted in the belief that homes must be designed for real life, balancing aesthetics with practicality and long-term durability.

    Across its residential portfolio, Shelaji places strong emphasis on efficient layouts, ample natural light, ventilation, and sound construction practices. These fundamentals have helped the developer earn credibility among homebuyers who value reliability and consistency as much as visual appeal.

    Industry professionals often point to Shelaji’s measured growth and attention to detail as key strengths. Each project is planned with careful consideration of its surroundings, infrastructure connectivity, and lifestyle needs, ensuring that the development integrates seamlessly with the neighbourhood rather than standing apart from it.

    Borivali West as a Strategic Location

    The selection of Borivali West for The Legacy is central to the project’s positioning. Over the years, Borivali West has evolved into one of Mumbai’s most sought-after residential destinations, offering a rare combination of established social infrastructure, strong connectivity, and proximity to natural open spaces.

    With access to key arterial roads, public transport, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and retail hubs, Borivali West appeals to families seeking convenience without compromising on quality of life. Its balanced urban character makes it particularly attractive for premium residential development, where buyers expect both accessibility and a sense of calm.

    By situating The Legacy in Borivali West, Shelaji aims to offer residents a refined living environment within a well-established and highly liveable suburb.

    “The Legacy” as a Landmark Residential Offering

    Conceived as an exclusive luxury residential project, The Legacy represents a defining chapter in Shelaji’s development journey. The project is planned with a limited number of residences to ensure privacy, exclusivity, and a more personal living experience.

    Design planning focuses on spacious interiors, well-proportioned living areas, and refined detailing that reflects understated luxury. The architectural language is contemporary yet restrained, allowing the project to age gracefully while maintaining its premium character.

    Beyond individual homes, The Legacy places importance on the overall residential experience. Common areas and amenities are designed to complement daily routines and encourage a balanced lifestyle. The intent is to create a calm, cohesive environment that supports both personal space and community interaction.

    According to the Shelaji team, the project brings together years of learning, customer feedback, and collaboration with experienced consultants, resulting in a development that aligns with the expectations of today’s discerning urban homebuyer.

    Recognition by The Bright Awards

    The Iconic Luxury Project Award by The Bright Awards is conferred on projects that demonstrate excellence in design, planning, and market relevance. The jury comprises seasoned professionals from real estate, architecture, and allied fields who assess projects on multiple qualitative parameters.

    The Legacy was recognised for its clear concept, premium positioning, and its potential to set a new benchmark for luxury living in Borivali West. Jury members highlighted the project’s emphasis on spacious planning, design coherence, and its focus on lifestyle over superficial specifications.

    Commenting on the achievement, a senior representative from Shelaji noted that the award reinforces the company’s commitment to responsible development. The recognition, the team stated, serves as motivation to continue creating homes that are thoughtfully designed and built with a long-term perspective.

    Building Credibility Through Consistency

    Shelaji’s growth has been shaped by a consistent focus on transparency, execution quality, and realistic commitments. From approvals and planning to construction and delivery, the developer follows structured processes to ensure clarity at every stage.

    Close collaboration with architects, engineers, and project management teams allows Shelaji to translate design intent accurately on site. This disciplined approach has helped maintain quality benchmarks across projects and strengthened trust among customers and industry stakeholders.

    Looking Forward

    With The Legacy receiving industry recognition ahead of its launch, anticipation around the project has increased significantly. The award positions Shelaji strongly within Mumbai’s premium residential segment and highlights its readiness for the next phase of growth.

    As buyers increasingly prioritise location, livability, and design integrity, developments like The Legacy reflect the direction in which the market is heading.

    For Borivali West, the project adds another dimension to its evolving residential profile.

    For Shelaji, the Iconic Luxury Project Award is not just recognition of a single development, but an affirmation of a development philosophy centred on quality, responsibility, and enduring value.

    Redefining Urban Living: JEM Group’s Impact on Mumbai’s Real Estate Landscape

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 2: In the bustling heart of Mumbai’s western suburbs, where connectivity meets opportunity, JEM Group has emerged as a trusted name in real estate development. Based in Andheri East, this innovative firm specialises in redevelopment projects, transforming ageing structures into modern, vibrant residential spaces. Founded on principles of quality, timeliness, and customer satisfaction, JEM Group is steadily carving a niche in Mumbai’s competitive property market, focusing on delivering homes that blend luxury, convenience, and affordability.

    Established in 2010 by Visionary Leader Mr Juzer S. Rampurawala, JEM Group brings over a decade of expertise to the table. Rampurawala, with his background in manufacturing and exports before venturing into real estate, emphasises finance and quality control. He has positioned JEM as a pioneering force in Mumbai’s suburbs, handling residential redevelopments with a commitment to creating landmarks that stand the test of time. The company’s office in Chakala, Andheri East, serves as the hub for its operations, reflecting its deep roots in the area.

    JEM Group’s core strength lies in building redevelopment. In a city like Mumbai, where space is premium and old buildings dominate many neighbourhoods, redevelopment offers a win-win: residents get modern homes with better amenities, while developers unlock value in prime locations. JEM excels here, prioritising transparent processes, timely delivery, and uncompromising construction standards. As a leading redevelopment builder, the firm streamlines what can often be a complex journey for housing societies, ensuring financial benefits and upgraded lifestyles for all stakeholders.

    Key projects showcase JEM’s capabilities, particularly in the Marol area of Andheri East. Al-Yamani Manzil, located at Saifee Park on Marol Church Road, is a standout redevelopment offering luxurious 1 BHK and 2 BHK apartments. Completed with possession in 2024 and registered under MahaRERA (P51800028337), this project redefines urban living with modern amenities, elegant design, and a prime location just 2.1 km from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Residents enjoy proximity to major roads, including Andheri-Kurla Road, Western Express Highway, and Mahakali Caves Road, making commuting seamless in Mumbai’s notoriously traffic-challenged environment.

    Similarly, Mohammadi Manzil in the same vicinity mirrors this success, providing spacious 1 BHK and 2 BHK homes in a completed redevelopment. These projects highlight JEM’s focus on vibrant communities, incorporating features like landscaped areas and essential facilities to enhance daily living. Beyond Andheri, JEM has ventured into affordable housing in Boisar, demonstrating versatility in catering to diverse market segments—from suburban luxury to budget-friendly options further afield.

    What sets JEM Group apart is its customer-centric philosophy. The firm commits to on-schedule deliveries, recognising that timely possession fulfils clients’ dreams. Premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship ensure durability and aesthetics, while a dedicated team manages every aspect from planning to handover. In an industry often criticised for delays and quality compromises, JEM’s track record builds trust, as evidenced by positive ratings on platforms like Justdial, where it’s praised for reliability.

    Mumbai’s real estate sector is evolving rapidly, driven by an infrastructure boom—the upcoming metro lines, airport expansions, and highway upgrades make areas like Andheri East even more desirable. JEM Group is well-positioned to capitalise on this, with its local expertise and redevelopment focus addressing the city’s acute housing needs. As older buildings seek renewal, firms like JEM play a crucial role in sustainable urban growth, modernising infrastructure without sprawling outward.

    Looking ahead, JEM aims to expand its portfolio, creating more landmarks across Mumbai’s suburbs. With a vision to become one of the most reputed construction houses, the group continues to cross hurdles, innovating at every step. For homebuyers and societies considering redevelopment, JEM offers not just structures, but elevated lifestyles—secure, contemporary, and connected.

    In a metropolis where dreams are built brick by brick, JEM Group is proving that thoughtful development can transform lives, one project at a time. As Mumbai grows skyward, this Andheri East-based builder is helping shape its future with integrity and excellence.

The following individuals are not merely successful; they are category creators, shaping how people think about health, wealth, spirituality, technology, content, and personal growth. Each story reflects resilience, clarity of vision, and an unwavering commitment to transformation.

What truly differentiates Dr. Kumar is his unified philosophy—he believes that all healing modalities operate on the same universal principles of consciousness and energy alignment.

    Rather than complicating spiritual science, he simplifies it, helping individuals unlock their inner power and take responsibility for their mental, emotional, and energetic well-being. His life’s work is not just about curing symptoms, but about awakening human potential.

    2. Budhil Vyas — Simplifying Digital Wealth for a New India

    As digital finance reshapes global economies, Budhil Vyas has become a trusted guide for India’s young investors navigating crypto, blockchain, and decentralised finance. His journey began in Bengaluru as an engineering student exposed to blockchain during a machine-learning course—long before crypto became mainstream.

    Unable to invest initially, Budhil invested something far more valuable: time and curiosity. During the pandemic, surrounded by traders and data-driven investors, he immersed himself in learning digital assets, market cycles, and passive income frameworks.

    4. Astro Arun Pandit — Spiritual Guidance for Real Life

    Astro Arun Pandit has transformed astrology from a mystical concept into a practical emotional support system for modern India. His rapid rise is rooted in authenticity—he speaks not from fear or superstition, but from understanding human psychology and lived experiences.

    What makes him unique is his ability to balance humor with depth. He simplifies planetary movements while addressing real concerns—relationships, career stress, self-doubt, and emotional confusion. His followers don’t just seek predictions; they seek perspective, reassurance, and grounding.

    In an industry flooded with trends and half-truths, Yash Vardhan Swami stands out as a reformist advocating evidence-based health. Working with clients across dozens of countries, he emphasizes that true fitness begins with understanding biology—not shortcuts.

    His approach dives deep into hormonal balance, metabolism, micronutrients, gut health, sleep cycles, and behavioral patterns. Analytical yet empathetic, Yash encourages people to treat health as a lifelong system rather than a temporary goal.

    6. Rizwan Sajan — Turning Adversity into a Billion-Dollar Vision

    Rizwan Sajan’s life is a masterclass in resilience. Born in the slums of Mumbai, he dropped out of school at 16 after losing his father, taking up odd jobs to support his family. With limited resources but unlimited determination, he moved to the Gulf and founded Danube Group in 1993.

    What began as a small building materials business evolved into a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate spanning real estate, home décor, and construction. His innovative 1% monthly payment plan reshaped Dubai’s property market, making home ownership accessible to the middle class.

    With a net worth of $2.5 billion, Rizwan Sajan is equally respected for his philanthropy—offering free education and skill training to blue-collar workers. His story proves that vision, when paired with empathy, creates lasting impact.

    7. Dr. Prabhu Mishra — Engineering the Future of Longevity

    Dr. Prabhu Mishra is redefining how the world understands aging and health. A scientist, educator, and entrepreneur, his work spans regenerative medicine, stem cell science, anti-aging research, and longevity education.

    With over 40 research papers, five books, and more than 100 global conference presentations, he has trained 3,000–4,000 doctors and scientists across 40 countries. Through his leadership at IASRM and initiatives like Longevity Revolution 2025, he is positioning India as a global hub for regenerative science.

    His current focus—the Total Body Age model—uses AI and predictive analytics to measure biological aging. His philosophy challenges the notion that aging is inevitable, presenting it instead as measurable, manageable, and reversible through science.

    8. Trishneet Arora — Safeguarding the Digital World

    A self-taught cybersecurity expert, Trishneet Arora built TAC Security into a ₹1,820-crore global enterprise by the age of 30. From Chandigarh to international boardrooms, his company protects major corporations from cyberattacks and digital vulnerabilities.

    9. Lalit Keshre — Making Investing Mainstream

    Post-IPO, his holdings are valued at nearly ₹10,000 crore, making him one of India’s newest self-made billionaires. More importantly, his work democratized wealth creation, turning investing from an elite activity into a household habit.

    10. Parul Gulati — Creator to Consumer Brand Powerhouse

    Parul Gulati’s journey is a blueprint for modern entrepreneurship. Starting as an actress discovered on Facebook, she transitioned into business by founding Nish Hair in 2017. Built with authenticity and consumer trust, the brand grew into a multi-crore D2C success.

    Her appearance on Shark Tank India amplified her reach, but the foundation was already strong—quality, transparency, and direct customer connection. Parul represents a new wave of entrepreneurs who leverage personal brands to build scalable businesses.

    These entrepreneurs are not merely redefining industries—they are reshaping belief systems. Their journeys reflect a new India where innovation is purposeful, success is multidimensional, and leadership is rooted in impact.
