CREDAI-MCHI, the apex body of real estate developers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), hosted ‘The BOLD – Builders of Legacy & Dreams’ on a glittering high-glam evening at the Jio World Convention Centre, BKC, recently. The event was held under the leadership of Shri Sukhraj Nahar, President of CREDAI-MCHI, and Shri Samyag Shah, Convenor of the CREDAI-MCHI Youth Wing, and brought together young and emerging real estate leaders under 40, including first-generation entrepreneurs and second-generation developers.

‘The BOLD’ is a leadership and recognition platform designed to celebrate innovation, achievements, and vision in the real estate sector. The initiative aims to recognise and amplify young voices, fostering thought leadership, collaboration, and strategic growth, reflecting CREDAI-MCHI’s commitment to nurturing a generation that builds not only structures but also the social, economic, and environmental future of India.

Speaking at the event, Sukhraj Nahar, President, CREDAI-MCHI, said: “Real estate is not merely about constructing buildings, it is about shaping society and empowering communities. Through initiatives like The BOLD and MCHI CARES, our mission is to create an industry that drives sustainable development, social impact, and inclusive growth. Today’s youth are central to this vision, they will determine how our cities evolve and how the real estate sector contributes to nation-building.”

Rushi Mehta, Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI, said: “The BOLD is about mindset as much as recognition. It acknowledges young professionals who are approaching real estate with clarity, discipline, and a long-term outlook. As an industry, our future will be defined by how responsibly and thoughtfully this next generation leads and platforms like this help set that direction early.”

Samyag Shah, Convenor of the CREDAI-MCHI Youth Wing, added: “The BOLD is about inspiring the next generation of developers to innovate, take initiative, and lead with purpose. Young real estate promoters   today are not just inheriting businesses, they are redefining real estate through creativity and bold ideas that will shape India’s urban landscape.”
