Experion Developers Surpasses Rs. 4,000 Crore in FY2025-26

Experion Developers has crossed Rs. 4,000 crore in revenue for FY 2025–26, marking a defining milestone in its growth trajectory and reinforcing its position as a leading player in India’s evolving luxury real estate market.

 

Experion Developers’ landmark luxury project showcases design-led architecture and premium living spaces

 

The milestone reflects the emergence of a developer steadily reshaping the contours of luxury housing through a disciplined, design-led, and institutionally anchored approach to development. At a time when real estate growth is often associated with aggressive expansion, Experion has quietly almost doubled its revenue from Rs. 2,200 crore in the previous financial year through calibrated market selection, strong demand absorption, and a clear focus on the luxury segment.

 

B.K. Malagi, Vice Chairman, Experion Developers said, “Crossing Rs. 4,000 crore in revenue is a significant step for us and reflects the steady momentum we’ve built over the past years. It comes from a clear focus on tapping the right markets, strong execution, and staying fundamental in how we grow. We will continue to strengthen this momentum and drive stable, long-term revenue growth.”

 

Flagship Projects Shaping Luxury

Experion Windchants, one of the landmark communities located on Dwarka Expressway, gained international recognition when its signature Skywalk was featured by National Geographic, highlighting its distinctive design. Continuing this legacy, One42 Golf Course Road has emerged as a benchmark in ultra-luxury living, with recent transactions exceeding Rs. 1 lakh per sq ft. The project reflects an elevated, design-led philosophy centred on exclusivity, spacious living, and low-density residences for UHNI buyers.

 

Saatori, Experion’s second project in Noida after the success of Experion Elements, recorded approximately Rs. 1,800 crore in sales at launch, with more than 400 units sold. The response underlined the strength of demand for premium housing in Noida and demonstrated Experion’s ability to extend its success beyond Gurugram.

 

Product-Centric Growth Anchored in Design and Wellness

At the core of Experion’s growth is a design-first philosophy that integrates international architectural expertise with a deep understanding of Indian urban living. The company has partnered with leading global design firms, including Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), SCDA Architects, DPA Architects, and DSP Design, embedding global standards in master planning, spatial design, and overall product experience.

 

Experion Developers was the first real estate developer in India to receive WELL Precertification for residential projects, recognising homes designed for healthier living through cleaner air and water, better ventilation, more daylight, and enhanced liveability.

Experion is backed by AT Capital Group, a Singapore-headquartered global investment platform with deep expertise across international real estate, renewable energy, private and public markets. With investments and presence across India, Europe, and the Middle East, AT Capital brings a long-term institutional perspective, strong governance, and disciplined capital backing.

Jagdish Farshan Introduces One of 'India's First Avocado Oil-Based Sev Range' Alongside upcoming On-the-Go Snack Packs

 In a move that signals how legacy food brands are evolving with changing consumer choices, Jagdish Farshan, one of India’s oldest names in traditional snacks and namkeen, with over eight decades of craft rooted in Vadodara, has introduced one of India’s first sev ranges made using avocado oil, alongside an upcoming launch of their 80g grab-and-go packs across its snack portfolio. 


With a portfolio spanning 500 products/SKUs and a presence across multiple markets, the brand’s latest launches reflect a deliberate shift a clear shift towards more conscious ingredients and modern consumption habits, without moving away from the taste and familiarity that have defined its offerings. Distributed via e-commerce, retail and quick commerce channels, the newly introduced avocado oil sev range is available in four variants, taps into a growing consumer preference for “better-for-you” indulgences. 


Commenting on the development, Mr. Aakash Kandoi, Managing Director, Jagdish Farshan, said, “Consumer today are no longer choosing between taste and better ingredients, they expect both. For a brand like ours, the opportunity lies in not reinventing what has worked for eight decades, but in evolving it meaningfully. With the avocado oil sev range, we are taking a product people already love and rethinking one of its most critical elements — the oil it is made in. At the same time, our new pack formats reflect how consumption itself is changing — more mobile, more frequent, and more intentional. This is not a departure from tradition for us, it is a more relevant expression of it.” 


Alongside ingredient innovation, Jagdish Farshan is also reimagining how its products are consumed. The brand is soon to introduce its 80g packs across its namkeen range, catering to the growing demand for portion-controlled, on-the-go snacking — particularly among urban consumers navigating busy, mobile lifestyles. These smaller packs are designed to addresses two converging trends, the growing preference for portion-controlled snacking and impulse purchases, opening up higher purchase frequency and a wider addressable consumer base for the brand. 


The avocado oil sev range is available pan India while it is already being white labelled for modern trade channels such as Food Square.


The dual launch underscores a larger strategy — where tradition and transformation are not at odds, but complementary. By bringing together trusted recipes, evolving ingredient choices, and more accessible formats, Jagdish Farshan is positioning itself for a new generation of snack consumers. 


About Jagdish Farshan
Established in 1938, Jagdish Farshan has built a strong reputation in the traditional snacks industry with its wide range of namkeen, sweets, and ready-to-eat offerings. Rooted in authentic flavours and quality craftsmanship, the brand has steadily evolved into an organised player catering to a diverse and growing consumer base.


With a portfolio spanning 500 products/SKUs and a presence across multiple markets, the company is supported by a robust manufacturing setup and an expanding distribution network across retail and institutional channels. Jagdish Farshan’s approach combines traditional recipes with modern processes, ensuring consistency, hygiene, and scalability.


As the brand continues to grow, it remains focused on strengthening its market presence through strategic expansion, relevant product innovations, and a continued commitment to delivering quality-driven consumer experiences.

Built on Insight, Not Experimentation
Commenting on the launch, Rishabh Verma, Head Marketing, said, “Guava with chilli is a deeply rooted flavour across India. With this launch, we’ve taken a familiar experience and made it more contemporary without losing its essence. It’s an example of innovation that feels intuitive rather than experimental.”

India Among World's Most Spam-Affected Nations, Ranks Fifth Globally: Truecaller Report

India ranks as the fifth most spammed country in the world, according to the latest data released by Truecaller. Indonesia tops the list, followed by Chile, Vietnam, and Brazil.

 

Truecaller reveals global spam report 2025

 

The insights are based on anonymized and aggregated data from Truecaller, which has over 500 million users globally. In 2025 alone, the platform identified more than 68 billion spam and fraud calls worldwide.

 

India also features prominently in regional rankings, recording a spam intensity of 66%, placing it among the top five most affected markets globally. The nature of spam calls in India reveals a strong commercial bias, with sales and telemarketing calls accounting for 36%, followed by financial services at 18%, and scams contributing 12% of all spam activity.

 

Globally, the drivers of spam vary significantly by region. In Indonesia and Mexico, over 40% of spam calls originate from financial institutions such as banks and lenders. Chile stands out with debt collection accounting for 38% of spam calls -the highest concentration of a single category worldwide. Meanwhile, in Brazil and Nigeria, telecom-related calls dominate, often blurring the line between legitimate communication and fraud.

 

These patterns highlight a growing global concern: as automated spam continues to scale, trust in unknown calls is rapidly declining.

 

The scale of what this data shows should concern everyone. Fraud, impersonation, and scams are affecting people’s daily lives in a way we have never seen before. In some countries, most unknown calls are now spam – that is a fundamental breakdown in how communication works. Our mission is to build trust in communication, and in 2026, we are focused on stopping fraud before it reaches people,” said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, CEO of Truecaller.

 

On March 31, 2026, Truecaller surpassed 500 million monthly active users globally, with more than 150 million users outside India. The complete report, including the full top 10 rankings and detailed regional insights, is available at the Truecaller Insights page.

The company is headquartered in Stockholm and has been publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since October 2021.

CBRE India Sets New Benchmark with Investment IQ Pro, India's First AI-Native Workflow Platform for Institutional-Grade Real Estate Investment

  • Replaces the fragmented, email-driven coordination that has historically existed in the sector

  • Reduces approval turnaround times from weeks to minutes, enhances compliance and improves cashflows across ecosystem
     

CBRE South Asia Pvt. Ltd, India’s leading real estate consulting firm, today announced the launch of Investment IQ Pro at the CII BFSI Summit 2026 in Mumbai, the next-generation version of its flagship Investment Risk Monitoring platform Investment IQ. CBRE was the Knowledge Partner at the Summit.

 

The platform is an AI-powered workflow solution and is designed to streamline and transform real estate investment processes by replacing fragmented, manual systems with intelligent automation.

 

Building on the strong adoption of Investment IQ, which already counts several of India’s leading financial institutions as well as Developers among its clients, with more in active onboarding, the Pro version marks a significant advancement in capability. It introduces India’s first AI-native, regulatory-compliant workflow platform purpose-built for real estate capital, built around a Four-Way Integrated Visibility model: developers, consultants, lenders, and trustees operating within a single, real-time dashboard.

 

This replaces the fragmented, email-driven coordination that has historically existed in the sector. The platform cuts turnaround times for NOC approvals and invoice processing from several days to just a few minutes, automates project spend verification, and embeds active error detection and immutable audit trails – critical for lenders operating under strict regulatory scrutiny.

 

“Investment IQ Pro represents the next phase of our digital transformation journey in real estate advisory,” said Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO – India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE. “While the first iteration addressed visibility and monitoring, this platform goes a step further by fundamentally re-engineering how investment workflows operate. By embedding AI-led automation and creating a unified ecosystem for all stakeholders, we are enabling faster, more transparent and data-driven decision-making. This will not only enhance operational efficiency but also unlock greater value for developers, lenders and investors across the region.”

 

India’s real estate investment process has been burdened by some inefficiencies: reporting lags, invoices requiring manual review, and lenders operating without a unified, real-time view of portfolio exposure. Investment IQ Pro addresses this through intelligent automation, using advanced OCR to read and validate documents simultaneously, providing shared dashboards for all four stakeholder groups, and converting pooled transaction data into actionable early warning signals.

 

The result is faster collections, reduced capital drag, sharper underwriting, and stronger project cashflows.

 

Rami Kaushal, Managing Director, Consulting & Valuation Services, India, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, said, “Investment IQ Pro addresses some of the most persistent structural inefficiencies in real estate investment like fragmented approvals, limited real-time visibility, and compliance gaps that institutional capital can no longer afford to overlook. By reducing turnaround times, embedding regulatory compliance by design, and converting pooled project data into sharper underwriting intelligence, the platform sets a new benchmark for how this industry operates. Our ambition is to make Investment IQ Pro the dominant operating standard for real estate investment management in India over the next two years, and this launch marks the decisive step toward that goal.”

 

The platform has been designed with compliance at its core and aligns with the RBI’s compliance requirements and SOC-1 standards, offering secure, immutable audit trails essential for institutional investors and lenders. The configurable multi-layer approval system and integrated digital signing tools also allow organizations to align workflows with their internal governance and risk structures.

 

By addressing inefficiencies across the developer-consultant-lender ecosystem, Investment IQ Pro delivers measurable financial benefits, including reduced capital drag, faster collections, improved vendor relationships, and enhanced portfolio performance.

 

With several real estate stakeholders already onboarding onto the platform and more in advanced discussions, CBRE aims to establish Investment IQ Pro as the operating standard for digital-first real estate investment management in India.

The Luxury Rush — Why Everyone Wants a Home on Noida Expressway

There’s a meaningful shift underway in how luxury homebuyers across NCR are making their choices. The decision is no longer just about upgrading to a larger apartment or a more premium address; it’s about rethinking where and how they want to live. Many are moving away from dense, central pockets that once defined prestige, toward more planned, open environments that offer a sense of calm and balance.

 

https://www.newsvoir.com/images/article/image1/35492_Image_iccpl_.png

Noida Expressway: Redefining NCR’s luxury landscape through low-density living, expansive greenery, and world-class connectivity


It’s this shift in what people are looking for that naturally brings the Noida Expressway into the conversation. What draws attention here isn’t just new supply, but the consistency of planning: sectors that feel intentional, roads that don’t feel overburdened, and a rhythm of development that allows daily life to unfold with far less friction. Without needing direct comparisons, the difference is easy to sense: this is less about navigating density and more about inhabiting a space that feels designed for how people actually want to live. What’s also working in the Expressway’s favour is a growing sense of trust—something that goes beyond the usual infrastructure checklist. The Noida–Greater Noida Expressway has been around long enough for people to see how the corridor has evolved, making it easier to believe in what’s coming next. According to Anarock, the average residential price in Noida was approximately Rs 4,795 per sq. ft. in 2020. By Q1 2025, that figure had risen to Rs 9,200 per sq. ft., representing nearly 92% growth. Greater Noida performed even stronger at 98%, outpacing the broader NCR average of 81%.


The newly inaugurated Noida International Airport adds to that confidence, not just as a travel hub but as a signal that this side of the NCR is only going to become more relevant over time. Even metro expansions play into this perception; they don’t just reduce travel time, they make the area feel more connected and within reach in a very real way. For many luxury buyers today, the decision isn’t based on what the neighbourhood offers at this moment, but on what it promises to become, and increasingly, the Noida Expressway seems to answer that with quiet assurance.


In pockets like Sector 150 Noida and Sector 128 Noida, the focus isn’t just on taller towers or striking skylines, but on how much space is left around them. Wider greens, walking tracks, sports facilities, and a more open layout start to shape the experience of living here. It feels less compressed, more breathable. Moreover, the kind of buyer this corridor is attracting also says a lot about where the demand is coming from. HNIs and NRI buyers are leaning toward developments that offer a certain level of management, security, and brand assurance—homes they can trust even from a distance. Then there’s a more globally exposed professional segment that is drawn to smart features, wellness-led amenities, and a sense of community.


Rohan Agrawal, a mid-30s professional, had been scanning options across NCR for a while. “I was looking at multiple pockets, but something didn’t quite add up,” he says. “Gurugram had everything on paper, but it felt too crowded every time I visited. Central Noida was convenient, but the density wasn’t what I wanted long term.” His perspective shifted when he began exploring the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway.”


What worked for me was the ease of getting around—reaching other parts of NCR didn’t feel like a task anymore,” he explains. He found himself spending more time around Noida Sector 150, where the difference became more tangible. “There’s a lot more open space, more greenery—it just feels less packed and easier to live in day to day.”


For Rohan, the decision gradually became clearer. “It wasn’t one single factor. It was how connectivity, space, and a more balanced pace of life all came together in one place.”


Another way to read the market’s direction is through the kind of developers choosing to deepen their presence here. When established names commit to a corridor, it usually reflects a certain confidence in how the area will evolve as a place to live. In that context, Prateek Canary in Noida Sector 150 offers a clear example. The project has been envisioned as a low-density, super-premium development, where the emphasis is on space, openness, and a more elevated living experience. It aligns closely with what this micro-market is coming to represent: lush green surroundings, uninterrupted views, and a quieter, more refined pace of life. With Prateek Canary already contributing to the micro-market’s evolving premium character, the group is planning to come up with an ultra-luxury development, which is likely to uplift the luxury narrative here.


What’s unfolding along the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway is part of a broader shift in how luxury is being understood across NCR. In that sense, the growing interest in this corridor isn’t just about market momentum. It reflects a changing urban aspiration, where long-term livability is starting to matter more than where a location once stood in the hierarchy.
