The 11th biennial edition of DefExpo India- 2020 is scheduled to be held for the first time in Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow.  It offers an excellent opportunity for the Indian Defence industry to showcase its capabilities and promote its export potential. The main theme of the DefExpo India- 2020 will be ‘India: The Emerging Defence Manufacturing Hub’ and focus will be on ‘Digital Transformation of Defence’.

The shows are conducted at an international level, which not only facilitates Business-to-Business (B2B) interaction with senior foreign delegations but also Government-to-Government (G2G) meetings and signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). The exhibition will also highlight the emergence of UP as an attractive destination for investment in the defense sector and act as a platform for alliances and joint ventures in the defence industry.

The northern state has a strong defence industrial infrastructure. It has four units of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd at Lucknow, Kanpur, Korwa and Naini (Prayagraj), nine ordnance factory units, including Kanpur, Korwa, Shahjahanpur, Firozabad and one unit of Bharat Electronics Limited at Ghaziabad. One of the two Defence Industrial Corridors (DICs) of India is also planned in Uttar Pradesh. The Corridor will encourage Defence Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), including our Indian defence industry and promote Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs). 

The other DIC is proposed in Tamil Nadu.

The DefExpo will provide an opportunity to the major foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to collaborate with the Indian defence industry and help promote ‘Make in India’ initiative of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

The DefExpo would provide a unique platform for Defence industry OEMs, exhibitors, and private industry to display their latest innovations and capabilities.

Ministerial-level delegations from the foreign countries and visitors from all over the country as well as abroad are expected to visit DefExpo and witness India’s emergence as a major manufacturing hub providing attractive opportunities for co-development and co-production of defence equipment and systems not only for our defence forces but also for export to the world.

Student housing and co-living would be among the major drivers for growth in residential real estate in the second half of 2019, while over half of such market would emerge in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru in the next four years, according to a joint ASSOCHAM-JLL study.

It projects a demand for the shared rental market at 5.7 million beds, offering a huge market opportunity of Rs 1 trillion by 2023. Such a market was estimated at 3.6 million beds in 2018. Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru will account for more than 50 percent of this cumulative capacity, going forward.  

The paper also expected developers to continue their efforts towards completing and handing over under-construction projects. Besides, ”a stricter regime for regular asset monitoring will be initiated by NBFCs/housing finance companies themselves”,  the paper by ASSOCHAM and global real estate consulting and research firm, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) stated.

While the concept of co-living and student housing is not a new phenomenon in India, it was largely confined in the unorganized sector in several cities with the student and working population. “However, the co-living concept brings a drastic transition in the manner in which physical space is managed. It transforms the real estate product into a service akin to the hospitality sector. In co-living there is greater emphasis on spaces such as dining and living area. The emphasis is also on supporting facilities such as gym, mobile apps, and house-keeping. These features are not available in self-rented accommodations’’.

The paper noted that a few international and domestic players are entering this segment either on their own or through joint ventures with private equity firms. Some hospitality firms are also leveraging their experience in end-to-end fully managed co-living spaces. “For asset owners also it is a good opportunity to realize rental yield ”, the paper said, adding, ” the unsold residential units can also be converted into student housing and co-living spaces by developers in case they are located near office corridors or university areas”.

In the last two years, there has been the entry of various operators in this area of the realty business. Oxfordcaps, CoHo, Zolo Stays, Stanza Living, Placio, OYO Life, Housr, Ziffy Homes and Nestaway are a few companies operating in this segment in India.  Besides metros and their suburbs, the co-living is spreading to Tier-2 cities as well.

He developed a passion for photography with every trip to the mountains and eventually began planning his life to just live his passion. 

He then started posting his first-hand stories on social media, with increasingly amazing skills and personalized storytelling skills, which eventually got him the 70K followers (admirers, really) on Instagram. 

He moved to Dubai for financial convenience, and also because it’s closer to the world. He now has a full-time job, and also works multiple freelance projects on the side to live the life that he lives. He’s traveled to 8 countries in one year, and his list has just started.
