                                 PROJECT SYNOPSIS
Competencies Expected from the WIP –
   Learning about the real estate sector
   Various things which are done after selling a flat in the back office.
   How to deal with the customers.
   How to handle the different situations.

                           About the real estate sector
The real estate sector is one of the most globally recognized sectors. Real estate sector
comprises four sub sectors - housing, retail, hospitality, and commercial. The growth of
this sector is well complemented by the growth of the corporate environment and the
demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban accommodations. The
construction industry ranks third among the 14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect
and induced effects in all sectors of the economy.
It is also expected that this sector will incur more non-resident Indian (NRI) investments
in both the short term and the long term. Bengaluru is expected to be the most
favoured property investment destination for NRIs, followed by Ahmedabad, Pune,
Chennai, Goa, Delhi and Dehradun.
Market Size
Real estate sector in India is expected to reach a market size of US$ 1 trillion (65 lakh
crore) by 2030 from US$ 120 billion (12000 crores) in 2017 and contribute 13 per cent
of the country’s GDP by 2025. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also
growing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for India's growing
needs.
Investments/Developments
The Indian real estate sector has witnessed high growth in recent times with the rise in
demand for office as well as residential spaces. Private Equity and Venture Capital
investments in the sector have reached US$ 4.1 billion between Jan-Nov 2018. Private
Equity and Venture Capital investments in the sector have reached US$ 4.1 billion
between Jan-Nov 2018. Institutional investments in India’s real estate are expected to
reach US$ 5.5 billion for 2018, the highest in a decade.
According to data released by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the
construction development sector in India has received Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
equity inflows to the tune of US$ 24.87 billion in the period April 2000-June 2018.
Some of the major investments and developments in this sector are as follows:
    New housing launches across top seven cities in India are expected to increase 32
     per cent year-on-year by 2018 end to 193,600 units.
    In September 2018, Embassy Office Parks announced that it would raise around
     Rs 52 billion (US$ 775.66 million) through India’s first Real Estate Investment
     Trust (REIT) listing.
    New housing launches across top seven cities in India increased 50 per cent
     quarter-on-quarter in April-June 2018.
    In May 2018, Blackstone Group acquired One Indiabulls in Chennai from
     Indiabulls Real Estate for around Rs 900 crore (US$ 136.9 million).
    In February 2018, DLF bought 11.76 acres of land for Rs 15 billion (US$ 231.7
     million) for its expansion in Gurugram, Haryana.
Government Initiatives
The Government of India along with the governments of the respective states has taken
several initiatives to encourage the development in the sector. The Smart City Project,
where there is a plan to build 100 smart cities, is a prime opportunity for the real estate
companies. Below are some of the other major Government Initiatives:
    Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Urban, more than 6.85 million
     houses have been sanctioned up to December 2018.
    In February 2018, creation of National Urban Housing Fund was approved with an
     outlay of Rs 60,000 crore (US$ 9.27 billion).
    Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Urban 1,427,486 houses have
     been sanctioned in 2017-18. In March 2018, construction of additional 3,21,567
     affordable houses was sanctioned under the scheme.
Road Ahead
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has given its approval for the Real
Estate Investment Trust (REIT) platform which will help in allowing all kinds of investors
to invest in the Indian real estate market. It would create an opportunity worth Rs 1.25
trillion (US$ 19.65 billion) in the Indian market over the years. Responding to an
increasingly well-informed consumer base and, bearing in mind the aspect of
globalisation, Indian real estate developers have shifted gears and accepted fresh
challenges. The most marked change has been the shift from family owned businesses
to that of professionally managed ones. Real estate developers, in meeting the growing
need for managing multiple projects across cities, are also investing in centralised
processes to source material and organise manpower and hiring qualified professionals
in areas like project management, architecture and engineering.
The growing flow of FDI into Indian real estate is encouraging increased transparency.
Developers, in order to attract funding, have revamped their accounting and
management systems to meet due diligence standards.
PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL
   It is a model of analysis that helps to explain why different industries are able to sustain different levels of
   profitability. This model was originally published in Porter’s book, “Competitive Strategy: Techniques for
   analysing Industries and Competitors” in 1980. The model is widely used worldwide to analyze the
   industry structure of a company as well as its corporate strategy. It includes:
      Competition in the industry.
      Potential of new entrants in the industry.
      Power of buyers.
      Power of suppliers.
      Threat of substitutes.
Barriers to entry:
Entry of new players in an industry raises the level of
competition thereby reducing its attractiveness. The threat
largely depends on the:
         Economies of scale
         Capital/investment requirements
         Customer switching costs
The Indian real estate Industry is characterized with modest
entry and exit barriers.
Threat of substitutes:
The presence of substitute products in real estate lowers
industry attractiveness and profitability because they limit
price levels. The threat of substitute products depends on:
Buyer’s willingness to substitute
The relative price and performance of substitutes
The costs of switching to substitutes
The demand for consumer product is elastic. There are several different products with very little
difference in their use. Companies entering a category/or trying to gain market share compete on
pricing which increases products substitution. Hence, threat of substitute is high in the real estate
industry.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
Real estate companies are price takers since the prices are generally governed by international
commodity markets. The real estate companies negotiate better rates during times of high input
cost inflation since they have been in relationship with suppliers for a long time.
Bargaining power of consumers:
Low switching cost and aggressive marketing strategies under intense competition between the
estate companies make customers to switch products. But, in case of high brand loyalty for a
product discourages customers’ product shift. In addition to it, a large number of buyers and
limited suppliers, the bargaining power of consumer is low in Indian real estate.
Intensity of rivalry:
Competitiveness among the Indian real estate players is high. Real esate industry has become
highly fragmented due to more MNCs entering the country. Marketing budget is increasing as
well as strategies are becoming more aggressive. Big companies provide.
he company started from 2 employees and now has around 4500 employees.
Flipkart started with consignment model as discussed above, since most of the customer issues
like delivery delays etc. result from procurement model, the company started opening its own
warehouses as it started getting more investments. The company opened its first warehouse in
Bangalore and later on opened warehouses in Delhi, Kolkatta and Mumbai. Today the company
works with more than 500 suppliers. As on date more than 80% orders of Flipkart are handled
via warehouses which help in quick and efficient service.
A humble beginning from books, Flipkart now has a gamut of products ranging from: Cell
phones, laptops, computers, cameras, games, music, audio players, TV's, healthcare products,
washing machines etc. etc. Still, Flipkart derives around 50% of its revenue from selling books
online. Flipkart is the Indian market leader in selling books both offline and online, it enjoys an
online share of around 80%. The electronic items have a large number of players like Naaptol,
Letsbuy, Indiaplaza, Tradus, Infibeam, Yebhi etc. The electronic market share is distributed
among them in different unknown proportions.
India has around 13.5 crore internet users today where as the number of homes with Cable and
Satellite (C&S) television is 10.5 crore. The expected internet users will reach a figure of 30
crore by 2014 and C&S homes are expected to be 14 crore by 2014. Thus India has a tremendous
internet growth and with the customers getting accustomed to e-commerce, the future of e-
commerce sector is definitely rosy. An approximated 25 lac people have transacted online this
year, the number is all set to increase with time.
Also to mention most of the Flipkart customers use internet from PC's/Laptops to order goods. The
use of mobile internet is very less at the moment, but with the advent of smart phones the use of
mobile internet for e-commerce transactions will soar with time. India has 8 crore mobile net users at
the moment, the number is expected to swell to 22.5 crore by 201
