A glimpse of vibrant community we build.
From the Desk of the Jt. MD
Dear Friends,
It’s been a great quarter as we started handing over Ashiana Anmol in South Gurgaon and also won the award for 'Theme based project of the year'. I am very proud of both the construction and maintenance teams for achieving the quality which got us this award.
We also launched Vrinda Gardens Phase IV at Jaipur and Nirmay Phase III at Bhiwadi. And as in the last quarter, this quarter too we got the approval of two projects - Ashiana Daksh in Jaipur and Ashiana Aditya in Jamshedpur. The response to all these announcements has been really positive. Most of the bookings have come from reference or existing customers and I am grateful to all of you for always supporting us.
There has also been great support to the 'Say No to Plastic’ and ‘Cleanliness Drive’ in our projects. We’ve still a long way to go, but awareness building in itself is a nice beginning.
Always keep smiling!
