That might be because of the fact indigo flies most of the slots all across Indian cities. Though there are flights offering business class seats but might not have enough seats available for a last minute booking or at the time you want. This could be the reason flying economy.

I'm a huge fan of this podcast, primarily because Nikhil's approach to holding guests accountable is refreshing. His status(billionaire) allows him to have such conversations, avoiding the typical 'yes-man' syndrome often seen in other interviews.
@@mansikarwaIts the interviewer always agreeing to the guest even if what they're saying is utter bs.This happens because guests generally have a higher status than the interviewer in terms of popularity and wealth.
All of the real estate guys are friends because this business works in a cartel only, a country where per capita income is $2500 and average 3bhk costs you $100k will work only if cartel works together, agar sab alag alag chalenge to price war hoga (which never happens in real estate).
The population of annual income in the range of 10,000-20,000 dollars in India is huge. With two family members earning in the same range creates lakhs of customers
So impressed by how data driven Nirupa is. She could substantiate her part of the discussion with data from good sources and she knew what she was talking about.
Attitude of this industry is clearly reflected in this conversation - hardly any mention of user problems and needs, its only about me, me, me. No other modern business can survive with such an attitude.
It’s not fair for us to expect them to talk when their billions are at stake. People need to voice about corruption not corporates. Corporates part of the system.
Exactly! The MD of brigade is sitting and discussing profits. They literally sell 1000s of overpriced apartments to the middle class where some of these apartments don’t even have a proper water source!!
I feel great thanks to the internet! Zip codes no longer limit us, though it's not a zerosum game. However, when it comes to exposure, everyone is getting their share
The best part of listening to Nikhil is the prominent touch of philosophy/psychology that he openly invites the hosts to discuss, along with rest of the discussion. That is very rare and adds a dimension.
I can't watch this poddcast without my note & pen, how can a show be so impeccable and insightful. As a 20 year old boy, I feel so grateful to know about WTF COMMUNITY. It feels illegal to watch this podcast for free. Thanks man.
lol, its not illegal...elon musk himself learnt from internet and used his brains to crack the rocket science....u got brain, u got info then go ahead...education was always meant to be free....
How about wtf is trading and stock markets? You should do a podcast with current traders on how you used to trade 10-15 years back and how has trading evolved(manual vs quantitative and retail vs institututional) since then in indian and global markets
The last episode with Bollywood celebs and this aslo was a masterclass in gatekeeping. Clearly, they’re terrified of fresh talent shaking things up, so they just bask in their own glitter. Instead of providing any actual guidance for a 20-year-old with 10 crores, they served up a buffet of vague platitudes and self-promotion. It was an informative video-if you’re looking for tips on how to maintain the status quo. Bravo! Truly inspiring.
Agree. I lost it when they said black money is a thing of the past. These guys are dinosaurs but perfectly suited to the riddled real estate market that thrives on stifling the supply through politics and institutions.
@@sabrayalam4883 U r right, but then what else can be expected from the silver spoon borned 2nd Gens. Mr Irfan is experienced enough to know what to say n what not publicly. This was a PR exercise for the 2 2nd Genz. Listen to bani Anand of ATS Noida group. She's a similar hack, waste of time. Kudos to Nikhil for at least asking them pointed Qs!
Could possibly be the strangest comment, but these videos feel like a hug from a really old friend. Comforting, soothing, leaves you walking away with a smile or a feeling of satisfaction.
This WTF podcast series is way better in quality than any other podcast. We won't get these details and insights if it were any other podcast. Hats off!!
I live in glass box up in air built by Irfan uncle. I can agree all points, but they are building huge inventory and never brought down price even during covid and water crisis in Bengaluru. Most of all units or purchases are done by IT sector employees as second or third houses as investments( never seen anyone cashing their investments yet) Most of all complexes don't have proper water sources or waste management systems. Most of these complexes are built next to drainages or on low lying areas, especially lake beds, causing floods in city. Most of these are hyper priced with 1200 sqft at 1.2cr and above. They are all well educated and well travelled but still build houses which are essentially boxes, havent done much improvements When Nikhil asked about innovations, they could have listed many more 1. Villaments (Villa apartments) 2. Apartments without common walls. 3. Replacing brick walls with concrect walls 3. ECO buildings with self water recycling, solar energy powered common utilities. One suggestion for these developers is to have a garbage shute in all floors (very common in US) that could be introduced in India where 30+ floor towers are built leading to efficient garbage collections
It was such a pleasure to hear Nirupa ❤️ she was so informative and her answers were so well thought out. Thank you for bringing such an impressive woman to podcast
Happened to see irfan razzack sir three days back in Friday prayers (Actually he was sitting right next to me😁). He is such a down to earth personality to mingle around in public domain. I think that humility is what creates trust amongst investors and buyers in prestige.
I could listen to Irfan Sir for hours! The way he sets the context so thoughtfully before diving into the relevant details is just amazing. His explanations are so clear and engaging. Thank you!
Nikhil is right about the demand going down in future. Marriage rates have declined, people dont want more than 1-2 kids, new generation is happy renting and switching cities along with their jobs. People dont wanna buy real estate as much and it will only go down. That’s why luxury real estate is on the rise, posh houses are getting sold off instantly but many other real estate projects are suffering.
But most are moving to Mumbai Bangalore and gurgaon where real estate giants actually make money so it doesn't matter now or a few years that's what they said!
Mr. Irfan is very solid at fundamentals and it seems the other two dignitaries require much more grounds. My only curious or odd question - why buildings are coming on lakes or buried lakes and creating flooding across places. In the name of development and affordability, why do authorities approve such things? This is one of major reasons. Thank you for this podcast.
I've heard many times nikhil saying that he doesn't like real estate, and he lives in rental apartment, even though he doesn't like this topic, he did this podcast only because of his Audience and for gaining his knowledge in real estate, wow just amazing bravo 👏 he's giving us a knowledge of a degree without charging a single penny 👏🤝hats off
Nikhil Sir If you are reading this, I cant thank you enough for the knowledge you have given me. I am 17 and your podcasts directly fit into my interests and curiosity domain. I look forward to apply your knowledge in real world soon. Thanks a lot.
17 crazy man Chill out they are multi millionare only the talk related you and your age only consume that knowledge otherwise they talk everything about their overthinking 😅
One advice I would like to give you as a 21 year old - Go out and start doing something. Don't wait to apply it in real world in future. Start now - Maybe tomorrow - That's the best way to save 3 years - You would start nothing and would jus waste the time if dont start now
And also falling for Nikhil again and again , whenever he couldn't control his emotions and then openly smiles, laughs , teases Nirupa etc He is the real combination of brain and fun 😊😊
In Bangalore i feel brokers play a big role in selling/renting apartments. There are some brokers who increase the price and tell the customer, that way area price goes up, just for sake of commissions. I have seen a lot of this in Frazer town, where few brokers join and make the floor price high. I think companies like Prestige or Brigade should use tech and directly sell to customer and pass on the broker commissions to the buyer. In long run customers and the company will benefit.
This episode for me is best of all. So much to learn from them. Each person has so much knowledge and still humble. I liked Karan and Nirupa's confidence. Irfan uncle speaks to the point.
At 1:19:10, Nirupa compared a plot of land in South Bangalore to the average performance of 30 stocks. Using that logic, my village land hasn’t yielded a 5x return. In fact, some stocks may have provided returns as high as 10,000%. How did none of the three gentlemen challenge this comparison?
It's like challenging that small cap providing 10000% in less than 5 year. The point is we are talking about averages, and the average return for index funds will always be better than average investment in real estate. If you can pick and choose the property you can get better returns than index fund but not necessarily, and that's the whole point
Yeah cherry picking the land that has done well and comparing with average of 30 companies. I can vouch that land will never outperform equity over long periods.
But they were all poor ppl once . So they will be perfect ppl to teach for ppl like us . REM except tata family most of the rich ppl in present India are very poor 50-60 years back
This podcast provides more value to young people than an average business school in India ever could. Thank you Nikhil for these invaluable conversations you have with people we could never reach on our own.
Razzack uncle is still the OG giving the energy to younger gen the right words and direction to try and make it their best effort and try. Still a honest and man of words.... Great discussion.
1:21:00 no uncle. Nothing has changed yet. Still you have to pay in black no matter where you are in India. I feel he is trying to change the perception here for the sake of the business he is in. Nikhil pressed the pulse here rightly
The black money with corporates have reduced but sole developers or old school estate developers still work with cash. But the percentage has gone down.
As far as I know from my experience of house hunting. None of the top builders are accepting black money from buyers these days. But high possibility of black money involved during land acquisitions and during getting approvals., during that stage
@@sohamjadhav1 uncle seeing one part of India, not whole. Plus I was in the construction field as a civil engineer and worked with several builders. So I know a thing or two
@@jprakashoram8500 What I mean is that he has seen the business in the past, The License Raj and even more, but the black business is comparatively lower now. I absolutely am aware of the fact that there is a thriving black economy in Real Estate but just a comparatively smaller one.
@47:00 Are Real Estate Pricey? Who are you asking it to. Developers will always say they are selling it at a discount etc etc. Right answer is, Definitely, real estate today is pricey everywhere in Bangalore. In some places like Whitefield, prices are way too inflated. In some places like Mysore Road, Thanisandra and Bannerghatta Road its moderate pricey. But real estate in Bangalore is pricey. Even a locality with no parks, no water, narrow roads are quoting prices close to 10k per sqft
Come to Gurgaon and definition of pricey will change. I believe people have money, coming from old real estate and stock prices gain. They are spending
Thanisandra and the main road is the most VFM in Bangalore for sure! Close to airport and accessible to Center of the city through Nagavara. It is crazy that prices are still fairly cheap in that part.
Learning that I got from this 3 hours of podcast which I am thinking of exploring more: 1]Data center space in real estate and it growth in India. 2]Agree with Nirupa that it's better to choose dispassionate job and make money and then follow the passion. 3]A point from Irfan that is very real is to become successful in life or real estate one need to start and it a long process things will take time. 4]Got to know of REIT, for now i understood like it's like option to own a small part in a real estate. 5]Many GCC are opening in India indication that countries are understanding the potential of India. Actions that i will take after this podcast: 1]Be the best at what you do. 2]Work on structuring the thoughts understanding the problem. 3]Time management. 4]Love what you do fall in love with the process.
Irfan Uncle is a true Bangalore icon, rose from small beginnings to owning buildings (albeit controversial) in 3/4th of the city, mainly reshaping the skyline especially in the CBD area (UB city 🤩)
Stunning conversation! Whenever someone argues in favor of renting over buying, I usually counter with the benefits of owning-stability, security, and the ability to personalize a space you know you won’t have to vacate. With renting, there’s always uncertainty: what if the landlord raises the rent, decides to sell, or changes the terms on a whim? You’re essentially at their mercy. That’s always been my issue with real estate from the renting side. However, this conversation shifted my perspective. Everyone was talking about stocks and liquidity, but when Nirupa mentioned how the Sensex has multiplied 18-20 times over the years, while real estate has multiplied 300, 400, even 500 times, it really put things into perspective. Land appreciates massively-sometimes far more than stocks-because the population keeps growing, and land is finite. At some point, we can only build vertically, and even that has its limits. It’s clear that demand for land will always be there, while supply remains restricted unless we start reclaiming land. Real estate has always been my favorite sector, even though I was almost convinced otherwise by people advocating for 80x or 90x stock returns or even 100x multi-bagger stocks, which sound like life-changing investments. I was nearly swayed by those arguments, but this conversation reaffirmed my belief that real estate is one of the best sectors to invest in (assuming the legal system has completely been overhauled and this encroachment situation isn’t a concern). Hearing Nirupa’s insights only solidified this conviction. Kudos to the team for keeping these discussions so valuable! P.S. I absolutely love the tijori app-the insights are incredible! Why dont you make a personal portfolio management software for retail investors, its truly the need of the hour
But again we have to compare avg return of stock market vs avg return of real estate because comparing a single property return with whole of stock market is like comparing Asian paints return with real estate avg returns.
At 46:00, Nikhil raises a pertinent question.. The decline in the total fertility rate has caused the stock of Evergrande and other companies in China to plummet significantly. While this scenario isn't imminent, the significant opportunity is expected to endure until 2047, before the population begins aging. Given that real estate often involves generational investments, this is a crucial aspect to consider.
Nirupa's journey is really inspiring considering born from a entrepreneural family ..! Her thoughts and perspectives were too sharp. She really is a Young Turk. Loved the insights shared on this podcast.
Am a huge fan of the podcast. Have been following it religiously and has learnt about a variety of topics. But was a bit disappointed this time that Nikhil didn’t ask them about sustainable development.
These flats cost 1 cr + but their quality of construction is bad. To increase margins, they cut corners. For example most of these big buildings/builders in Bangalore have issues with water leakage within 1 year of construction. Once they sell and leave ,it's big headache for associations to clear up all the issues.
@@parag7757 Its been problem with everyone lately due to increased demand, competition and reduced profit margin. They contractors they use also cut corners. Problems arise after they sell and form associations. Quality of materials used is also not good such as tiles and accessories. Some people replace all the things in flat.
Thanks Nikhil for the amazing show. It was great to see Irfan uncle. He is a visionary and has truly done a lot for the community he belongs to (socially and philosophically).
Senior living along side kids daycare where the old see the young and it will have an emotional value and joy to them. Alongside nursing home, rehab and hospital/ nursing school etc. Loved this episode like everywhere one Nikhil. I hope our paths cross.
Here in Bengaluru, the Real Estate has grown just by filling lakes and hundreds of water bodies. The municipality has played the role of silent spectator. The biggest benefactors are the state govt. (irrespective of political affiliations) and handful of builders.
This was one of the best podcasts Nikhil Kamath Key Takeaways: 1. How 3 Bangalore Real Estate Brands Prestige, Brigade and Embassy started off 2. Starting small in any business will keep you rooted 3. Most businesses die in the 4th generation, so don't worry too much on legacy let the future generation decide what they want to do about. 4. In real estate you might have to bow your head in front of people who are irrelevant 5. EGO in business let's you lose in the game of entrepreneurship 6. Hang out with your competitors because there's enough for each one of us 7. Passion is over rated, being successful and making money from something you don't love is better than doing something you love and not being successful (in entrepreneurship) 8. Urbanisation in India is yet to happen, we are just tip of the iceberg 9. Fractional Ownership - How it works 10. Land Aggregation - Holding on to Land vs Developing it 11. Every City in India is like a country, has different set of approvals. & more to pen down, thanks to all four of you for making this happen.
Loved Nirupa, such clear thought process, empathy and patience. The whole industry is a cartel, and house is a distant dream for many , including me in the current market.
I am so impressed by the fact that they invited Nirupa. Wish there were more women taking up space in such industry. I hope team Nikhil Kamath also invites Vineeta Singh. Hearing her talk businesses is always a fascinating experience for the millennials. There are so many great women in large scale businesses and i have witnessed how girls in my life and even girls and women in general really feel represented through them. Instead of bringing Bollywood actresses please invite great businesswomen on your show. It will be worth watching.
Great podcast! A request to Nikhil, please get Nitin also on such podcasts, he is other side of Kamath bros, giving other strong points, other info, on a whole making it very interesting.
They should have discussed about water also. Bangalore is coming up with offices, apartments, malls but no one is thinking of water resources. I think big builders should start thinking on it. Even for infrastructure they can do Govt project to improve the infra in Bangalore. Since these builders know so much that they change the govt rules.
you may need to wait for 30-40 years to see this bubble burst. once the population of India starts decreasing . supply is more and demand should be less. thats when price will go down.
Please do one on design. Nikhil said that the more passion there is in a business the harder it is to make money. But we need to move culture forward while making money.
Nikhil does kind such a great job of going deeper into the subject matter like how he found out details about REAP and then went into detail to get their favourite REAP funded startup named Lightstore. Its actually funded by Accel and hardly would you know about this things on internet. Now this is actual philanthropy in action!!
I like this series of long conversations, however it would be good to ask a detailed question than "what should a 20yr old do if he wants to start in this area?" If the guests can define unique challenges and problems they think in a given area with their experience. If they can't you can do some research with them and their employees offline and give a link to problems, challenges and even solutions. The biggest challenge for anyone is understanding the problem space before even coming up with solutions.
Nikhil was trying so hard to get business ideas from them, and they just didn't want to when there are so many ideas. I'm 26 and I've opened my Real Estate company 1.5 years ago, it's full of opportunities, it's a game of capital
Healthy discussion but ground truth is that few people own multiple properties, which results in unnatural increase in real estate prices. A law like Singapore, that is Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty can help correct the market.
The difference in how the youngsters and uncle spoke is amazing. It shows experience matters and when you build something from scratch you know the journey from 0 to 100. The segment where Nikhil asked How do I start, and uncle said start small, and the other 2 guys had a vague theoretical ideas.
Excellent insights but i can't stop rising this point at 1:19:11 it is'nt the right representation to compare a one of case in land and then compare that with the whole index sensex, Never compare outliers in one asset class with the average of returns in other asset class.
The comparison is incorrect. It should be either Real Estate market vs Stock market or Brigade tower area with some multibagger like Bajaj Fin, Eicher Motors.
Even greedy out of state people who buy more than one flat without thinking about water,many aprtment run on ranker water,nobody knows the source of water
Hi nikhil I am a 20 year old engineering graduate who has an idea of starting a Rental managment company in hyderabad as this is an untouched market and the big players like nobroker offers very bad service which could potentially make this a good startup idea. After listening to this podcast i want to start the company and make it profitable. Thank you for uploading this podcast. It would help me a lot if i could get some guidance or help from you for building this. Thank you.
Hey Rohan that's a great idea, but I think you should try to build layer 1 and also try to get few customers with their 3-4 months of existence maybe then you can not just raise money but also get better valuation
I loved the podcast thoroughly. Nice work Nikhil and team. However I would have enjoyed it more if you guys could have shared your insights or views about 3D printing technology in construction and real estate.
As mentioned by Nikhil, When can realestate can become saturated or down can be when Builders build heavily with high demand and price shoot up where it cannot be owned like China , even builders are out of money The market can then move into bubble
Attitude of this industry is clearly reflected in this conversation - hardly any mention of user problems and needs, its only about me, me, me. No other modern business can survive with such an attitude.
One thing surely missing in the discussion is how they manage "under the table" dirty things in government offices which is most important to be in real estate business. For a 20 year guy it is not going to be easy.
Exactly... Most of the headache is there, each of these biggies has a politician in their pocket and a bunch of rowdies to clear a lot of hurdles... Nobody talks about that
They will gift some apartments to officials and politicians kith and kin,even for chela of mla,if you check properly many politicians own many units in their family name in their projects
I am an architect and have lots of experience dealing with developers and visited government authorities for sanction. One thing I can clearly say is that these developers also hate this corrupt culture of the govt officials and politicians , but their hands are tied and can't do nothing about it and have to constantly satisfy these people. It's the politicians that spread corruption all around and then everyone just fall into this message.
Thank you Nikhil and team for bringing wonderful guests. Thank you Irfan sir, Nirupa mam and Karan sir for sharing wonderful insights. Learnt a lot from this episode🙏😊
Finally all the internet revolution making some sense, eventually allowing us to listen to top business minds of india and learn from their thoughts , knowledge, experience etc...!!!!!
hona usse bhi kuch nahi hai ,you can't compete with them because they became too big with lot of money ,contacts so you can't compete with them , so if you want to build niche for you at this moment only thing that can you do is some tech startup .
The stark difference between life inside these fancy enclaves and the chaos outside really leaves me speechless-like my jaw has dropped right into a pothole! Driving through the beautifully tiled roads is a delight, but that joy disappears in an instant the moment I hit the outside streets. It’s enough to make me consider taking out another another high-interest loan that feels like it’ll last till eternity just to build a road from my home to the office, all to avoid wrecking my mood before I even start my workday.
53:01 It's around 15% profit margin if included other income part and exclude depreciation cost. TTM of this year till now: 1312+172(other income)-535(interest)-194(tax) = 755 cr profit for a year(PAT). That's 15% of sales

How about wtf is trading and stock markets?
You should do a podcast with current traders on how you used to trade 10-15 years back and how has trading evolved(manual vs quantitative and retail vs institututional) since then in indian and global markets
The whole point is to pivot these conversations into careers. Trader isn't a career anymore.
Nothing has changed. Only tech has changed. Instead of losing money on a phone call, now you can lose it on your phonescreen or laptop
After the podcast whoever comes on trading topic they should be arrested and sent to jail also . That will be good for society
@@rutvikrs why not? Quant traders are a good domain to listen to...different perspectives, commodity trading etc huge domain
True and tell the reality of trading and also how to be rich early or give a hack man! ❤ need u bhai yr 😢😂🤣🤣
The last episode with Bollywood celebs and this aslo was a masterclass in gatekeeping. Clearly, they’re terrified of fresh talent shaking things up, so they just bask in their own glitter. Instead of providing any actual guidance for a 20-year-old with 10 crores, they served up a buffet of vague platitudes and self-promotion. It was an informative video-if you’re looking for tips on how to maintain the status quo. Bravo! Truly inspiring.
Agree. I lost it when they said black money is a thing of the past. These guys are dinosaurs but perfectly suited to the riddled real estate market that thrives on stifling the supply through politics and institutions.
Are you guys saying it's a waste of time watching this? I just started

@@sabrayalam4883 U r right, but then what else can be expected from the silver spoon borned 2nd Gens. Mr Irfan is experienced enough to know what to say n what not publicly. This was a PR exercise for the 2 2nd Genz. Listen to bani Anand of ATS Noida group. She's a similar hack, waste of time. Kudos to Nikhil for at least asking them pointed Qs!
Could possibly be the strangest comment, but these videos feel like a hug from a really old friend. Comforting, soothing, leaves you walking away with a smile or a feeling of satisfaction.
This WTF podcast series is way better in quality than any other podcast. We won't get these details and insights if it were any other podcast. Hats off!!
Irfan's Prestige Estates' last 10 years' Stock CAGR is 24%
Nirupa Brigade Enterprises' last 10 years' Sock CAGR is 30%. 😮
CAGR on profits or stock price?
Obviously cagr is on stock price
I wish even Niranjan Hiranandani was part of this conversation, but any way these are really good guests..
Yeah I was expecting him on this! he would have given great insights.
That was my first thought 😅
Bro, this is among bengaluru developers.. Where the people have cultural values and respect
@@raghavadasa167 not the prime in Bangalore, hiranandani is still a developer there sarrrrrr
@@raghavadasa167 so you mean mumbai builders only scam people and have no cultural values and respect?
I live in glass box up in air built by Irfan uncle.
I can agree all points, but they are building huge inventory and never brought down price even during covid and water crisis in Bengaluru.
Most of all units or purchases are done by IT sector employees as second or third houses as investments( never seen anyone cashing their investments yet)
Most of all complexes don't have proper water sources or waste management systems.
Most of these complexes are built next to drainages or on low lying areas, especially lake beds, causing floods in city.
Most of these are hyper priced with 1200 sqft at 1.2cr and above.
They are all well educated and well travelled but still build houses which are essentially boxes, havent done much improvements
When Nikhil asked about innovations, they could have listed many more
1. Villaments (Villa apartments)
2. Apartments without common walls.
3. Replacing brick walls with concrect walls
3. ECO buildings with self water recycling, solar energy powered common utilities.
One suggestion for these developers is to have a garbage shute in all floors (very common in US) that could be introduced in India where 30+ floor towers are built leading to efficient garbage collections
It was such a pleasure to hear Nirupa ❤️ she was so informative and her answers were so well thought out. Thank you for bringing such an impressive woman to podcast
Happened to see irfan razzack sir three days back in Friday prayers (Actually he was sitting right next to me😁). He is such a down to earth personality to mingle around in public domain. I think that humility is what creates trust amongst investors and buyers in prestige.

@@guptasagar694 no need to convert for money.
I could listen to Irfan Sir for hours! The way he sets the context so thoughtfully before diving into the relevant details is just amazing. His explanations are so clear and engaging. Thank you!
There is a Reason why Prestige is the best of the lot lol.
Nikhil is right about the demand going down in future. Marriage rates have declined, people dont want more than 1-2 kids, new generation is happy renting and switching cities along with their jobs. People dont wanna buy real estate as much and it will only go down. That’s why luxury real estate is on the rise, posh houses are getting sold off instantly but many other real estate projects are suffering.
Timestamp please?
The numbers are inflated
But most are moving to Mumbai Bangalore and gurgaon where real estate giants actually make money so it doesn't matter now or a few years that's what they said!
Mr. Irfan is very solid at fundamentals and it seems the other two dignitaries require much more grounds.
My only curious or odd question - why buildings are coming on lakes or buried lakes and creating flooding across places. In the name of development and affordability, why do authorities approve such things? This is one of major reasons.
Thank you for this podcast.
I've heard many times nikhil saying that he doesn't like real estate, and he lives in rental apartment, even though he doesn't like this topic, he did this podcast only because of his Audience and for gaining his knowledge in real estate, wow just amazing bravo 👏 he's giving us a knowledge of a degree without charging a single penny 👏🤝hats off
He has bought big bungalow
@rithikkumar7683 yeah, I heard about it, who knows he might have got some insider information about real estate
Nikhil Sir
If you are reading this, I cant thank you enough for the knowledge you have given me. I am 17 and your podcasts directly fit into my interests and curiosity domain. I look forward to apply your knowledge in real world soon.
Thanks a lot.

i am 18 bro seeing nikhil sir podcast and taking notes is enjoyable processs
One advice I would like to give you as a 21 year old - Go out and start doing something. Don't wait to apply it in real world in future. Start now - Maybe tomorrow - That's the best way to save 3 years - You would start nothing and would jus waste the time if dont start now

He is the real combination of brain and fun 😊😊
In Bangalore i feel brokers play a big role in selling/renting apartments. There are some brokers who increase the price and tell the customer, that way area price goes up, just for sake of commissions. I have seen a lot of this in Frazer town, where few brokers join and make the floor price high. I think companies like Prestige or Brigade should use tech and directly sell to customer and pass on the broker commissions to the buyer. In long run customers and the company will benefit.
This episode for me is best of all. So much to learn from them. Each person has so much knowledge and still humble.
I liked Karan and Nirupa's confidence. Irfan uncle speaks to the point.
At 1:19:10, Nirupa compared a plot of land in South Bangalore to the average performance of 30 stocks. Using that logic, my village land hasn’t yielded a 5x return. In fact, some stocks may have provided returns as high as 10,000%. How did none of the three gentlemen challenge this comparison?
It's like challenging that small cap providing 10000% in less than 5 year. The point is we are talking about averages, and the average return for index funds will always be better than average investment in real estate. If you can pick and choose the property you can get better returns than index fund but not necessarily, and that's the whole point
Exactly what I thought
100% true. It was a total flawed logic.
Yeah cherry picking the land that has done well and comparing with average of 30 companies. I can vouch that land will never outperform equity over long periods.
They are lying
I love the fact that how rich people use their money to educate themselves and others❤
But they were all poor ppl once . So they will be perfect ppl to teach for ppl like us . REM except tata family most of the rich ppl in present India are very poor 50-60 years back
Not All Rich People but, there are quite few of them with that intent l
Educating oneself to keep the flow of money alive what differentiates rich from poor
its entertainment for poor more than education.
@@jayakishore565No most upper caste in India were wealthy and owned a lot of land. Caste system is the root cause of poverty and inequality in India
This podcast provides more value to young people than an average business school in India ever could. Thank you Nikhil for these invaluable conversations you have with people we could never reach on our own.
Razzack uncle is still the OG giving the energy to younger gen the right words and direction to try and make it their best effort and try.
Still a honest and man of words.... Great discussion.
1:21:00 no uncle. Nothing has changed yet. Still you have to pay in black no matter where you are in India.
I feel he is trying to change the perception here for the sake of the business he is in.
Nikhil pressed the pulse here rightly
The black money with corporates have reduced but sole developers or old school estate developers still work with cash. But the percentage has gone down.
As far as I know from my experience of house hunting. None of the top builders are accepting black money from buyers these days.
But high possibility of black money involved during land acquisitions and during getting approvals., during that stage
Uncle has seen the past, you haven't.
@@sohamjadhav1 uncle seeing one part of India, not whole.
Plus I was in the construction field as a civil engineer and worked with several builders. So I know a thing or two
@@jprakashoram8500 What I mean is that he has seen the business in the past, The License Raj and even more, but the black business is comparatively lower now. I absolutely am aware of the fact that there is a thriving black economy in Real Estate but just a comparatively smaller one.
@47:00 Are Real Estate Pricey? Who are you asking it to. Developers will always say they are selling it at a discount etc etc.
Right answer is, Definitely, real estate today is pricey everywhere in Bangalore. In some places like Whitefield, prices are way too inflated. In some places like Mysore Road, Thanisandra and Bannerghatta Road its moderate pricey. But real estate in Bangalore is pricey. Even a locality with no parks, no water, narrow roads are quoting prices close to 10k per sqft
Come to Gurgaon and definition of pricey will change. I believe people have money, coming from old real estate and stock prices gain. They are spending
Thanisandra and the main road is the most VFM in Bangalore for sure! Close to airport and accessible to Center of the city through Nagavara. It is crazy that prices are still fairly cheap in that part.
Learning that I got from this 3 hours of podcast which I am thinking of exploring more:
1]Data center space in real estate and it growth in India.
2]Agree with Nirupa that it's better to choose dispassionate job and make money and then follow the passion.
3]A point from Irfan that is very real is to become successful in life or real estate one need to start and it a long process things will take time.
4]Got to know of REIT, for now i understood like it's like option to own a small part in a real estate.
5]Many GCC are opening in India indication that countries are understanding the potential of India.
Actions that i will take after this podcast:
1]Be the best at what you do.
2]Work on structuring the thoughts understanding the problem.
3]Time management.
4]Love what you do fall in love with the process.
GCC?

Irfan Uncle is a true Bangalore icon, rose from small beginnings to owning buildings (albeit controversial) in 3/4th of the city, mainly reshaping the skyline especially in the CBD area (UB city 🤩)
Stunning conversation!
Whenever someone argues in favor of renting over buying, I usually counter with the benefits of owning-stability, security, and the ability to personalize a space you know you won’t have to vacate. With renting, there’s always uncertainty: what if the landlord raises the rent, decides to sell, or changes the terms on a whim? You’re essentially at their mercy. That’s always been my issue with real estate from the renting side.
However, this conversation shifted my perspective. Everyone was talking about stocks and liquidity, but when Nirupa mentioned how the Sensex has multiplied 18-20 times over the years, while real estate has multiplied 300, 400, even 500 times, it really put things into perspective. Land appreciates massively-sometimes far more than stocks-because the population keeps growing, and land is finite. At some point, we can only build vertically, and even that has its limits. It’s clear that demand for land will always be there, while supply remains restricted unless we start reclaiming land.
Real estate has always been my favorite sector, even though I was almost convinced otherwise by people advocating for 80x or 90x stock returns or even 100x multi-bagger stocks, which sound like life-changing investments. I was nearly swayed by those arguments, but this conversation reaffirmed my belief that real estate is one of the best sectors to invest in (assuming the legal system has completely been overhauled and this encroachment situation isn’t a concern). Hearing Nirupa’s insights only solidified this conviction.
Kudos to the team for keeping these discussions so valuable!
P.S. I absolutely love the tijori app-the insights are incredible! Why dont you make a personal portfolio management software for retail investors, its truly the need of the hour
But again we have to compare avg return of stock market vs avg return of real estate because comparing a single property return with whole of stock market is like comparing Asian paints return with real estate avg returns.
@@-PiyushJi that is also true, so I guess its real estate and stocks
Love Nirupa's way of thinking and prospective of life!!
At 46:00, Nikhil raises a pertinent question.. The decline in the total fertility rate has caused the stock of Evergrande and other companies in China to plummet significantly. While this scenario isn't imminent, the significant opportunity is expected to endure until 2047, before the population begins aging. Given that real estate often involves generational investments, this is a crucial aspect to consider.
colossis AI fixes this. Indian real estate giants' actions questioned.
Shut up bot!
Nikhil Kamath coming up with 'question of the hour'. Thanks man.
Nirupa's journey is really inspiring considering born from a entrepreneural family ..! Her thoughts and perspectives were too sharp. She really is a Young Turk. Loved the insights shared on this podcast.
Am a huge fan of the podcast. Have been following it religiously and has learnt about a variety of topics. But was a bit disappointed this time that Nikhil didn’t ask them about sustainable development.
I am a real estate startup founder , this video has been very insightful for me. Thanks to all .
3 hrs of good old movie days, which helps an entrepreneur skill set to think big. it’s really knowledgeable podcasts one who love to learn new stuff
These flats cost 1 cr + but their quality of construction is bad. To increase margins, they cut corners. For example most of these big buildings/builders in Bangalore have issues with water leakage within 1 year of construction. Once they sell and leave ,it's big headache for associations to clear up all the issues.
Is this the problem with Prestige and Brigade properties?
@@parag7757 Its been problem with everyone lately due to increased demand, competition and reduced profit margin. They contractors they use also cut corners. Problems arise after they sell and form associations. Quality of materials used is also not good such as tiles and accessories. Some people replace all the things in flat.

Here in Bengaluru, the Real Estate has grown just by filling lakes and hundreds of water bodies. The municipality has played the role of silent spectator. The biggest benefactors are the state govt. (irrespective of political affiliations) and handful of builders.
That’s what Hyderabad is cautious about and demolishing structures in FTL levels.
Zabardastttttt Mazzaaaaa Aa Gayaaaaa! 🔥✨🔥
This was one of the best podcasts Nikhil Kamath
Key Takeaways:
1. How 3 Bangalore Real Estate Brands Prestige, Brigade and Embassy started off
2. Starting small in any business will keep you rooted
3. Most businesses die in the 4th generation, so don't worry too much on legacy let the future generation decide what they want to do about.
4. In real estate you might have to bow your head in front of people who are irrelevant
5. EGO in business let's you lose in the game of entrepreneurship
6. Hang out with your competitors because there's enough for each one of us
7. Passion is over rated, being successful and making money from something you don't love is better than doing something you love and not being successful (in entrepreneurship)
8. Urbanisation in India is yet to happen, we are just tip of the iceberg
9. Fractional Ownership - How it works
10. Land Aggregation - Holding on to Land vs Developing it
11. Every City in India is like a country, has different set of approvals.
& more to pen down, thanks to all four of you for making this happen.
Loved Nirupa, such clear thought process, empathy and patience. The whole industry is a cartel, and house is a distant dream for many , including me in the current market.
I am so impressed by the fact that they invited Nirupa. Wish there were more women taking up space in such industry. I hope team Nikhil Kamath also invites Vineeta Singh. Hearing her talk businesses is always a fascinating experience for the millennials. There are so many great women in large scale businesses and i have witnessed how girls in my life and even girls and women in general really feel represented through them. Instead of bringing Bollywood actresses please invite great businesswomen on your show. It will be worth watching.
I am here after watching your mother's interview in kalamadhyama... she is such an Inspiration and amazing person
Great podcast! A request to Nikhil, please get Nitin also on such podcasts, he is other side of Kamath bros, giving other strong points, other info, on a whole making it very interesting.
They should have discussed about water also. Bangalore is coming up with offices, apartments, malls but no one is thinking of water resources. I think big builders should start thinking on it. Even for infrastructure they can do Govt project to improve the infra in Bangalore. Since these builders know so much that they change the govt rules.
Good point faisa..
That was my concern as well...people are paying crores, but no water..this is not common sense.
That’s exactly my point, Floor space index is joke in India. Does it really factor in the living conditions of people. Indian cities are done.
I wish to see the bubble of real estate burst in my lifetime. Owning a flat or land even in tier 2 cities has become a distant dream for most Indians.
It's the stupid money funding this bubble in every country,rich people have nothing to do with it.
you may need to wait for 30-40 years to see this bubble burst. once the population of India starts decreasing . supply is more and demand should be less. thats when price will go down.
Don't go for appartments. They are inflated. Go for only land. It will save u anytime in ur life.
Please do one on design. Nikhil said that the more passion there is in a business the harder it is to make money. But we need to move culture forward while making money.
Nirupa Shankar, you're so so so good at what you do and well-spoken!
Nikhil does kind such a great job of going deeper into the subject matter like how he found out details about REAP and then went into detail to get their favourite REAP funded startup named Lightstore. Its actually funded by Accel and hardly would you know about this things on internet.
Now this is actual philanthropy in action!!
The question nikhil asked at 27:45 was marvelous. I realised that but never encountered it.😅
I am fan of this guy. People he calling for podcast is amazing. Even though i cant make 1% of it but thinking ability will get change for sure
I like this series of long conversations, however it would be good to ask a detailed question than "what should a 20yr old do if he wants to start in this area?" If the guests can define unique challenges and problems they think in a given area with their experience. If they can't you can do some research with them and their employees offline and give a link to problems, challenges and even solutions.
The biggest challenge for anyone is understanding the problem space before even coming up with solutions.
The way how nikhil markets zerodha without taking the name is super amazing
Nikhil was trying so hard to get business ideas from them, and they just didn't want to when there are so many ideas. I'm 26 and I've opened my Real Estate company 1.5 years ago, it's full of opportunities, it's a game of capital
A capital many dont have access to i guess?
How will I raise capital if I come from a middle class family

Great Show 👍 👌.
Truly a Master of Masterclass in Real Estate.
Great Insights on Latest trends in Real Estate 👏 .
Keep Going Nikhil 💪
Healthy discussion but ground truth is that few people own multiple properties, which results in unnatural increase in real estate prices. A law like Singapore, that is Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty can help correct the market.
The difference in how the youngsters and uncle spoke is amazing. It shows experience matters and when you build something from scratch you know the journey from 0 to 100. The segment where Nikhil asked How do I start, and uncle said start small, and the other 2 guys had a vague theoretical ideas.
Excellent insights but i can't stop rising this point at 1:19:11 it is'nt the right representation to compare a one of case in land and then compare that with the whole index sensex, Never compare outliers in one asset class with the average of returns in other asset class.
The comparison is incorrect. It should be either Real Estate market vs Stock market or Brigade tower area with some multibagger like Bajaj Fin, Eicher Motors.

Hi nikhil
I am a 20 year old engineering graduate who has an idea of starting a Rental managment company in hyderabad as this is an untouched market and the big players like nobroker offers very bad service which could potentially make this a good startup idea. After listening to this podcast i want to start the company and make it profitable. Thank you for uploading this podcast. It would help me a lot if i could get some guidance or help from you for building this.
Thank you.
this seems like a good idea.
work on it
Hey Rohan that's a great idea, but I think you should try to build layer 1 and also try to get few customers with their 3-4 months of existence maybe then you can not just raise money but also get better valuation
Hey Rohan,
This is Lohith from Hyderabad. I would love to connect with you and discuss some ideas
Hey rohan!
Wrong platform but would like to connect with you as well as discuss a little about this sector and the idea you had
I loved the podcast thoroughly. Nice work Nikhil and team. However I would have enjoyed it more if you guys could have shared your insights or views about 3D printing technology in construction and real estate.
As mentioned by Nikhil,
When can realestate can become saturated or down can be when Builders build heavily with high demand and price shoot up where it cannot be owned like China , even builders are out of money
The market can then move into bubble
Nikhil Kamath has always been real estate but don’t be surprised if he ventures into real estate become successful in later half of his life.
Against*
Great to hear Nirupa’s perspective. Rarely see such articulate women on this podcast.
Attitude of this industry is clearly reflected in this conversation - hardly any mention of user problems and needs, its only about me, me, me. No other modern business can survive with such an attitude.
One thing surely missing in the discussion is how they manage "under the table" dirty things in government offices which is most important to be in real estate business. For a 20 year guy it is not going to be easy.
Exactly... Most of the headache is there, each of these biggies has a politician in their pocket and a bunch of rowdies to clear a lot of hurdles... Nobody talks about that
They will gift some apartments to officials and politicians kith and kin,even for chela of mla,if you check properly many politicians own many units in their family name in their projects
I am an architect and have lots of experience dealing with developers and visited government authorities for sanction. One thing I can clearly say is that these developers also hate this corrupt culture of the govt officials and politicians , but their hands are tied and can't do nothing about it and have to constantly satisfy these people. It's the politicians that spread corruption all around and then everyone just fall into this message.
Thank you Nikhil and team for bringing wonderful guests. Thank you Irfan sir, Nirupa mam and Karan sir for sharing wonderful insights. Learnt a lot from this episode🙏😊

Water supply is the responsibility of city corporation.
Yes water from their STP in prestige stinks like hell
The stark difference between life inside these fancy enclaves and the chaos outside really leaves me speechless-like my jaw has dropped right into a pothole! Driving through the beautifully tiled roads is a delight, but that joy disappears in an instant the moment I hit the outside streets. It’s enough to make me consider taking out another another high-interest loan that feels like it’ll last till eternity just to build a road from my home to the office, all to avoid wrecking my mood before I even start my workday.
I am most interested in listening to the answers of those questions when Nikhil says "as a 20 year old guy..." 😂
