Driving Change to Revolutionize Indian Real Estate


As India's real estate sector gears up to touch the monumental $1 trillion mark by 2030, we take a peek into the stories etched within these transactions, the dreams woven into every square foot of space. At the heart of this transformative journey, Mikro Grafeio (Beyond Workspaces), redefines the dynamics of workspace solutions, particularly in the emerging Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.





Unprecedented Growth: A Glimpse into the Numbers


In the fiscal year 2023, the Indian real estate market witnessed an unprecedented surge, propelling it to new heights. Residential property transactions soared to a staggering Rs. 3.47 lakh crore ($42 billion), marking a robust 48% year-on-year increase in home buying activities. Commercial real estate transactions, too, witnessed a meteoric rise, doubling to 1.5 million sq-ft in the first quarter alone. These numbers not only reflect the buoyant market sentiment but also hint at the evolving preferences and aspirations of India's populace.


Trends Shaping the Landscape


  • Repatriation of NRIs and HNIs: The repatriation of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) has emerged as a significant catalyst in driving investments in both commercial and residential real estate. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), 52% of NRIs are actively exploring opportunities in commercial real estate, aiming to diversify their portfolios within the Indian market. This influx of capital, coupled with a surge in demand for residential spaces, underscores a remarkable momentum in the real estate ecosystem.

  • Rise of Tier II City Office Spaces: Tier 2 cities are no longer just emerging markets; they are burgeoning hubs of economic activity, driven by the proliferation of Information Technology (IT), Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), and Telecom sectors. The demand for office spaces in Tier 2 cities is poised to escalate, with projections indicating a 15-18 million sq-ft rise in data center requirements by 2025. This shift not only reflects the decentralization of corporate operations but also presents an opportunity for social impact startups to foster inclusive growth by providing integrated workspace solutions in these regions.

  • Affordable Housing in Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cities: As urbanization continues to sprawl across the Indian landscape, the quest for affordable housing has gained momentum, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Rapid industrialization, infrastructural development, and an upsurge in employment opportunities have catalyzed the demand for budget-friendly housing options with essential amenities. Social impact startups, cognizant of this burgeoning need, are leveraging innovative models to address the housing gap and foster sustainable communities in these underserved regions.

Looking Ahead: Paving the Path to Inclusive Growth

The trends outlined above underscore a paradigm shift in the dynamics of the real estate landscape, with Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities emerging as the epicenters of growth and opportunity. In this transformative landscape, Mikro Grafeio (Beyond Workspaces) continues to serve as catalysts of change, weaving together aspirations into a more inclusive future.
