NAR-India, the apex body representing real estate transaction advisors, has announced its new national leadership team following its annual convention in Mumbai, which facilitated business engagements worth over ₹3,000 crore. The large-scale event, attended by more than 1,800 delegates, underscored the growing influence of organised real estate brokerage in driving deal-making, partnerships and institutional participation across India’s property market.

The scale of participation translated into real, on-ground deal-making, strategic partnerships and cross-market collaborations across residential, commercial and retail segments, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle.

The event served as a high-value business platform, with structured B2B meetings, project showcases and investment discussions driving tangible outcomes. Leading corporate groups such as Reliance, Tata and Birla actively explored large-scale real estate opportunities, highlighting increasing institutional interest in working with organised brokerage networks to enable faster, more transparent transactions.

The convention also stood out for its diverse mix of industry voices and thought leadership. Insight-driven sessions led by stalwarts like Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani and Hafeez Contractor, along with inspiring addresses by personalities such as Boman Irani, Savji Dholakia and Jaya Kishori, created a balanced platform combining business, policy and human insight, further elevating the stature of the event. Hosted by the AREA Group, the event was executed by a 45-member organising team, setting a strong benchmark for future editions of the national convention.

New Leadership Team includes, Chairman: Mr. Sumanth Reddy; Vice Chairman & Global Ambassador: Mr. Tarun Bhatia; Immediate Past President: Mr. Amit Chopra; President: Mr. Chandresh Vithalani; President-Elect: Mr. Ashish Mehta; CEO: Mr. Samir Arora; Vice Presidents: Mr. Arvind Gupta, Mr. Ramkumar, Mr. Zakir Bhati, Mr. Santosh Avalaki; Hon.

Mr. Sumanth Reddy, Chairman, NAR-India, said the convention demonstrated how deeper collaboration across stakeholders is directly translating into business velocity, improved trust and more structured deal flows across markets.

Mr. Chandresh Vithalani, President, NAR-India, added that the scale, diversity and outcomes of the convention signal a clear shift towards a more organised, transparent and professionally driven brokerage ecosystem in India.

Mr. Ashish Mehta, President-Elect and Event Chair, NAR-India, said, “This convention has gone beyond conversations to deliver measurable outcomes. The scale of participation, the quality of engagement and the volume of business generated reflect a clear shift in how the industry collaborates and transacts. What we have built here is not just an event, but a high-impact business platform that will continue to create opportunities and drive growth for stakeholders across the ecosystem.”

With renewed leadership and strong post-event momentum, NAR-India is well-positioned to accelerate the formalisation and growth of India’s real estate brokerage sector.
