Success in real estate is never the outcome of chance. It is the product of consistent effort, careful planning, and a commitment to values that stand the test of time. At Trehan Group, honesty, punctuality, responsibility, and sincerity have guided every step of our journey. These values are not just words; they define how we work, deliver, and maintain trust with our customers.

Mr. Harsh Trehan, CMD Trehan Group

We focus on one core principle: delivering projects on time with uncompromised quality. For me, success is not measured in the number of towers built but in the trust and peace of mind our customers feel.

Reflecting on the journey, Harsh Trehan notes that the performance of Trehan Group stands strong, rating between 8.5 to 9 on any scale of delivery, quality, and customer satisfaction. This confidence comes from the company’s consistent ability to deliver projects on time with uncompromising quality. It is a reflection of Trehan Group’s core values of punctuality, precision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, which continue to define its reputation in the real estate industry.

Why We Began with Alwar and Bhiwadi

Many ask why we did not enter Gurgaon earlier, given its growth potential. The answer is simple: real growth must be planned. Even giants like DLF took decades of thoughtful planning before becoming what they are today.

I chose to focus on Alwar, Bhiwadi, Tapukara, and Neemrana because these towns lacked basic facilities like sewerage systems and organized housing. People here deserved better standards of living, and I wanted to provide that foundation.

We built supporting infrastructure – substations, generators, and sewerage treatment plants – creating entire communities. Bhiwadi and Tapukara grew alongside industrial development. As industries shifted from Delhi and Gurgaon due to high costs, these towns became home to a growing workforce. Many middle-class families who could not afford Gurgaon found dignity and affordability in our projects. Today, property prices in these belts have multiplied, validating the vision we had years ago.

Defining True Luxury

Luxury is not just marble floors or designer fittings. True luxury is the dignity and security of community living. It is about 24×7 security, reliable power, clean water, proper parking, street lighting, and landscaped green areas – essentials of modern life.

It also lies in design thinking – maximizing natural light, ensuring cross-ventilation, and creating spaces that promote health and happiness. Facilities like gyms, children’s play areas, and jogging tracks are necessities for a society that values well-being. Whether buying a modest one-bedroom or a spacious three-bedroom flat, residents should feel proud, safe, and content. That is real luxury.

Gurgaon, Sohna, and the Next Wave of Growth

Gurgaon is now India’s leading IT and business hub. With expressways, metro connectivity, and proximity to the international airport, it is ideal for homebuyers seeking modernity and accessibility. Property prices remain more reasonable compared to Delhi, making it an attractive market.

Sohna, once overlooked, is emerging as a strong contender. Government-backed infrastructure and improved social harmony are opening doors to significant real estate growth. The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and Expressway expand opportunities across the entire stretch, benefiting areas like Faridabad, Ballabgarh, and beyond.

How Trehan Group Stands Apart

At Trehan Group, 60% of the work is in planning, even before the first brick is laid. Architects, engineers, and specialists coordinate from the start, removing deficiencies at the design stage. This meticulous approach minimizes delays, reduces wastage, and guarantees quality.

I personally visualize the final product, suggesting improvements wherever possible. To ensure quality, we deploy extra workforce, follow multi-tier checks, and adhere strictly to building codes. Fluctuating material prices don’t make construction costly – poor planning does. Our mantra is smart execution with long-term durability.

Privacy, Convenience, and Sustainability

Modern homebuyers want both privacy and community living. Our projects combine independent-floor living with gated-society amenities. From smart locks and automated lighting to energy-efficient systems and solar-powered solutions, we integrate technology that enhances comfort and reduces environmental impact.

Even small details matter – air conditioning that consumes less energy, lifts that run efficiently, or water systems that guarantee purity. Once installed, these systems serve families reliably for years.

A Message to Homebuyers

At Trehan Group, we build not just homes but trust. Our commitment to punctuality, perfection, and care ensures that every investment is in a vision that extends beyond bricks and mortar. You are choosing a community built with honesty, foresight, and responsibility.

Real estate is more than property – it is about shaping lifestyles, building cities, and creating value for generations. That has been, and will always remain, the vision of Trehan Group.

Moscow Fashion Week has successfully concluded, reaffirming its status as a dynamic and essential platform on the international fashion calendar. The event served as a powerful testament to Russias growing role in the global cultural conversation, featuring collections from designers across 13 countries and fostering significant international dialogue, particularly with a strong and influential delegation from India.

Shantnu & Nikhil at Moscow Fashion Week

The prominent participation of top Indian designers was one of the highlights of Moscow Fashion Week. Architectural silhouettes were expertly blended with elaborate draping and hand embroidery in the renowned brand Shantnu & Nikhils debut all-women’s couture collection, ‘Armour’, which was inspired by the 1930s. Pawan Sachdeva displayed his distinctive urban, well-tailored styles in the showroom, which attracted a lot of attention from both young audiences and buyers.

“Since Shantnu & Nikhil is one of the most prestigious and respected brands in the Indian fashion industry, we believe that attending Moscow Fashion Week is the ideal and distinguished way to introduce ourselves to the Russian market,” stated designers Nikhil Mehra and Shantnu Mehra.

The event also served as a powerful showcase for homegrown Russian talent. Designer Ianis Chamalidy presented a collection defined by strict architectural cuts and a minimalist aesthetic, creating looks that appeared as sculptures in motion. Kisselenko captured audience attention with a collection rooted in Eastern culture and strict geometric silhouettes, where every detail reflected a refined sense of style and craftsmanship. Stas Lopatkin offered an avant-garde take on classic tailoring, blending Eastern and Western cultural elements in a collection that functioned as an artistic manifesto. Emerging brand Vira Plotnikova‘s ‘Diva’ collection highlighted the harmony between tradition and modernity with its technologically innovative feminine silhouettes.

Moscow Fashion Week’s global reach – spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas – was further emphasized by the presence of international runway stars, including David Tlale, one of Africa’s leading couturiers, and Turkish designer Emre Erdemoglu, known for styling world-famous celebrities. This cross-cultural exchange was a recurring theme, with many designers drawing inspiration from Russian culture. Brazilian designer Mayari Jubini of Artemisi explained her influence:

“I was influenced by sculpted cinema, especially the works of Andrei Tarkovsky, where each frame evokes time, memory and sensory depth. These references led to the creation of garments that blur the line between the real and the surreal, combining advanced techniques with refined manual techniques.”

Held concurrently, the BRICS+ Fashion Summit became one of the industrys largest and most significant business events. As a founding member of BRICS, India sent a large delegation to Moscow.

Pawan Sachdeva, who is also a member of the Board of Governors of the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), participated in both events. He affirmed that “these events serve as a powerful platform for cross-cultural exchange and international collaboration in the fashion industry. Traditional textiles, local motifs, and indigenous techniques are brought to a global stage, increasing appreciation for lesser known fashion traditions.”

Moscow Fashion Week and the BRICS+ Fashion Summit have firmly established Moscow as a thriving fashion hub and a platform for cultural exchange. The events gave partners like India a valuable chance to showcase well-known designers internationally and strengthen connections with global markets. Moscow has eloquently shown that fashion is a universal language, speaking to audiences across every continent.

Affle 3i Ltd, a leading consumer technology company, today launched its India festive season report, titled “India’s Festive Pulse 2025: Decoding Trends for the Shopping Season.” The report, produced in collaboration with audience intelligence platform VTION, is based on a first-party survey of consumers across Metros and Townclass, and sheds light on evolving shopper journeys for brands to maximize impact during the high-stakes period. The report captures a 360 view of how India’s festive shoppers are blending mobile, CTV, and offline touchpoints; how multilingual ads are shaping engagement; and how marketers are recalibrating campaigns to tap into both urban and emerging Tier 2+ markets.

Affle shares Indias Festive Pulse: Decoding Trends for the 2025 Shopping Season

The Indian festive season, spanning key periods from Navratri and Durga Puja to Diwali,remains the most crucial sales window for brands. This period is characterized by a higher consumer sentiment, bonus-linked spending power, and the cultural significance of gifting and upgrading. In recent years, the season has also become synonymous with blockbuster eCommerce sales, aggressive discounting, and omnichannel shopping experiences that blur the lines between online and offline. As the festive season starts across the country today, the outlook is positive with 47% respondents suggesting they have a higher purchase intent this season.

Commenting on the findings of the report, Vipul Kedia, COO – India & Emerging Markets at Affle, said, “With this years report, we set out to highlight how India’s festive shopper is navigating a truly connected journey, one that spans mobile apps, CTV, and offline touchpoints in seamless but complex ways. What’s clear is that discovery and purchase are no longer linear or tied to a single screen. Instead, consumers move fluidly across platforms, with ads on mobile and CTV playing a pivotal role not just in triggering action but in building lasting recall. The rise of vernacular and culturally contextual creative further underscores the need for marketers to think beyond reach and embrace resonance. As festive campaigns become more multi-screen and intent-driven, the opportunity lies in integrating these touchpoints into one connected, measurable experience.”

Key Takeaways from the Report

• Discovery is Mobile-First but Cross-Channel: Mobile remains a primary device for festive purchases. Nearly 68% of consumers discover festive deals through in-app ads. While social media plays a similar role, CTV is emerging as a popular channel of choice with product discovery increasingly being driven there.

• Intent Builds Early, Conversions Peak Later: Nearly half (49%) of shoppers start planning festive purchases 15 days in advance, while 50% of purchases occur within 3-7 days after seeing an ad.

• Regional Relevance is a Game-Changer: 79% of users engage better with ads in their local language. Reflecting this, over 70% of marketers are now investing in state-specific campaigns, with 41% prioritizing Tier 1-2 cities this season.

• Cross-Screen Journeys Define Shopping: While 58% of consumers purchase on the same device where they first discovered a product, 32% switch devices and 38% complete the transaction offline, proving festive shopping is an omnichannel blended experience.

Shailesh Varudkar, Chief Operating Officer at VTION added, “The festive season in India has always been the heartbeat of commerce, and this report, in collaboration with Affle, shows just how much the pulse has changed. Shoppers are now mobile-first, discovery-driven, and effortlessly omnichannel; switching between social feeds, CTV, and shopping apps before making a purchase. For marketers, the lesson is clear: campaigns must be recalibrated for this new consumer journey, where timing, personalization, and context define festive success..”
