The real estate sector in India is thriving with affordable housing at its center, due to government initiatives like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and rapid urbanization in Tier-2 city real estate growth. In 2025, potentially industry-changing Indian real estate leaders are transforming the market by delivering quality homes under Rs. 50 lakh, with sustainable housing projects and innovation in design.
This article highlights 10 leaders of affordable housing innovators in India, paving the path of homeownership to middle-class families and first-time buyers.
M R Jaishankar, Brigade Group
M R Jaishankar, founder of Brigade Group, promotes and delivers home ownership in an affordable range, like Brigade Laguna in Bengaluru’s Devanahalli, offering affordable housing. Brigade launched 1,500 affordable homes in 2024, as a part of Brigade Laguna. Brigade concentrated and made progress on its IGBC-certified projects. Their projects apply to smart home integrations and community living. Brigade would likely continue this cost-effective approach to premium housing partnerships in Tier-2 Cities (i.e., Mysuru, Chikmagalur), given demand in underserved markets.
“Build trust through quality”, Jaishankar echoes.
Anuj Puri, Anarock Group
Anuj Puri, Chairman of the Anarock Group, is at the forefront of affordable housing solutions in India, implementing consultancy on several initiatives like Anarock Affordable Housing in Ahmedabad, creating 2,500 affordable homes under Rs. 40 lakhs. His PropTech platforms, focusing on virtual tours and using AI analytics, are improving buyer accessibility to real estate with expansion in Tier-2 cities like Surat and Vadodara. After Puri’s direction and leadership, Anarock’s revenue was RS. 755 crore in FY25, a 33 percent increase from the previous year, and interest in sustainable housing projects in India. He has more than 30 years of experience in real estate development, and he is a credible voice in the affordable housing in India.
“Data-driven solutions make affordability possible”, Puri shares.
