Scaling Talent to Lead the Gen AI Wave
According to AWS and AlphaBeta research, India’s demand for cloud professionals is projected to reach 14 million roles by 2026, with a widening digital skills gap expected by 2028.

Northwind Estates: Redefining Luxury Living with Trust, Innovation, and Community in Greater Noida

From once being on the periphery of Delhi to now standing tall as an emerging hub of luxury living, Greater Noida has transformed into a city where infrastructure, connectivity, and aspirations converge. Here, homebuyers aren’t just looking for spacious apartments; they seek trust, innovation, and a deeper sense of belonging. Amid this landscape, few developers truly rise to the occasion, and Northwind Estates is among those leading the way, blending experience with fresh vision to create homes that inspire confidence and community in equal measure.

Northwind Estates: Redefining Luxury Living with Trust, Innovation, and Community in Greater Noida

Inspired by the dynamic nature of the wind, Northwind Estates combines clarity and power to drive excellence and build vibrant communities. At the heart of their core values lies a mission to make real estate transparent, customer-first, and effortlessly seamless, bringing a refreshing shift in an industry often weighed down by complexity. Northwind aspires to set new benchmarks by shaping neighborhoods that are inclusive, dynamic, and sustainable, where people don’t just reside but truly thrive. It is this philosophy that sets them apart: they are not merely building projects, but nurturing vibrant, future-ready communities that carry forward a sense of trust, belonging, and growth.

Besides, Northwind Estates is guided by a leadership team that combines deep-rooted experience with global perspectives, shaping a vision that is both ambitious and grounded. At its helm is Manoj Kumar Garg, CEO, and the driving force behind the brand’s mission to redefine Greater Noida’s real estate landscape. With a strong background in business and leadership, he blends strategic insight with a community-focused approach to development. Beyond his role in business, Manoj is actively engaged in civic and social organizations, serving in leadership positions at Rotary Club Green Greater Noida, Shri Maharaja Agrasen Vaish Sewa Samiti, and Uttar Pradesh Udyog Vyapaar Mandal-reinforcing his commitment to growth with trust, innovation, and inclusivity.

Supporting him is a new generation of leaders who bring international exposure and youthful dynamism. Anubhav Jain, Director of Finance & Management, combines global business expertise from Durham University, UK, with a legacy rooted in real estate, steering Northwind’s finance and management with integrity, transparency, and a strong focus on sustainable growth.

Samyak Jain, Director of Design & Construction and an architect from CEPT Ahmedabad, contributes his academic excellence and diverse global design experience to create climate-responsive, culturally rooted, and human-centric spaces that reflect the brand’s ethos of sustainability.

Shaurya Garg, Director of Marketing & Sales, represents the next wave of innovation. A B.Tech graduate from Delhi Technological University and an MSc in International Real Estate & City Planning from University College London (UCL), he brings this international academic expertise into Northwind’s projects, infusing innovation, sustainability, and global insights into the brand’s marketing strategies and upcoming developments. Together, this blend of seasoned expertise and youthful energy is redefining luxury living with a balance of trust, foresight, and progressive vision.

But the brand’s vision stretches far beyond construction timelines and architectural blueprints.

The developer draws inspiration from the dual nature of the wind: like a storm, it represents powerful progress, driving innovation and reshaping the city’s skyline; like a breeze, it brings clarity, comfort, and peace into everyday living. This balance of strength and serenity reflects Northwind’s philosophy of building not just homes, but environments where people feel connected and inspired. Rooted in integrity, inclusivity, and community spirit, Northwind’s narrative is one of trust and transformation, shaping neighborhoods that truly resonate with life.

Building on this vision, Northwind Sanctuary stands as a beacon of thoughtfully curated luxury in Greater Noida. Spread over 4.5 acres in Sector Pi, near the Metro station, the project comprises only 180 apartments across three residential towers, designed with a focus on space, privacy, and comfort.

Sanctuary is among the first IGBC Platinum-rated group housing societies in Greater Noida, reflecting Northwind’s commitment to sustainable, future-ready living. True to the brand’s commitment to sustainability, the community dedicates 70-85% of its area to open, landscaped spaces, complemented by rainwater harvesting and solid waste management systems. Residents enjoy a five-star clubhouse with premium lifestyle amenities, meticulously landscaped open areas, and a retail complex on the ground level, creating a self-contained ecosystem where luxury, convenience, and community converge seamlessly.

Further, the location offers proximity to key city infrastructure. Pari Chowk, Fortis Hospital, and Kailash Hospital are within a 10-minute drive, while the upcoming Noida International Airport is expected to be reachable in under 30 minutes.

Northwind Estates continues to redefine the essence of luxury living by crafting homes that seamlessly balance trust, innovation, sustainable design, and a strong sense of community. The brand envisions expanding its footprint with inclusive, technologically advanced, and environmentally responsible neighborhoods across Greater Noida and beyond, setting new benchmarks for modern, future-ready living while nurturing communities that thrive for generations to come.

Guna Solar Private Limited, one of India’s fastest-growing Solar EPC companies based in Chennai, has successfully commissioned a 994.2kW rooftop solar power plant for Modine Thermal Systems Private Limited at their state-of-the-art manufacturing unit in SIPCOT, Sriperumbudur.

Actual picture of solar rooftop plant installed by Guna Solar Pvt. Ltd. at the facility of Modine Thermal Systems Private Limited at Sriperumbudur

The project has been financed by SIDBI under OPEX model, ensuring zero upfront investment for Modine Thermal. Under the OPEX model, Guna Solar not only conceived the project but also executed complete EPC and will provide long-term O&M services, ensuring uninterrupted clean energy for decades to come.

Under the OPEX model, Guna Solar retains ownership of the rooftop solar plant and has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Modine Thermal to supply electricity at 50% of the prevailing grid tariff. This results in immediate and significant savings – effectively reducing Modine’s power costs by 50% from Day One.

Commenting on the project, Rajesh Rangarajan, MD & CEO, Guna Solar, said, “We believe in creating value for industries by converting unused rooftops into revenue-saving assets. Our financing models – CAPEX, Lease, Deferred CAPEX, and OPEX – make solar accessible to every company, regardless of their upfront budget.

According to R Sathish, Managing Director, Modine Thermal Systems Pvt. Ltd., “It gives us great pride to share that our Modine India factory has embraced renewable energy by installing a solar power plant at our facility in Sriperumbudur. Thanks to Guna Solar and its Leadership team’s professionalism and expertise, which enabled seamless collaboration & execution, allowing us to move closer to our green energy goals. This project, through the OPEX Model & PPA, besides ZERO upfront investment, will enable us to source power at an affordable, pre-determined cost for a long time.” Additionally, he noted that this not only reflects our commitment to sustainability but also supports energy independence, reliable & efficient power, thereby reducing our carbon footprint & making our journey towards a greener future.

For Guna Solar, this installation is yet another accomplishment as the plant was completed in 100 days, with best-in-class equipment, precision engineering, and stringent safety standards. According to Rajesh, this gives us confidence that Guna Solar has come of age in delivering customized, flexible solar solutions across India – helping clients achieve both economic and environmental goals.

Dwelling on the salient features of the project, Jordi Aragones Juncosa, CTO, Guna Solar, said, the project has been developed under a net metering arrangement. This ensures full energy utilization and enhances the economic viability of the plant for Modine Thermal. The plant employs advanced DC optimization with module-level electronics, enabling individual panel monitoring for enhanced diagnostics, Superior energy yield, even under shade or roof obstructions, and High-resolution analytics to drive operational efficiency.

Importantly, to ensure personnel and asset safety, the system includes module-level rapid shutdown capability, aligned with evolving global safety standards such as FM Global. This allows quick system deactivation during emergencies or maintenance.
