CREATING A FOUNDATION FOR YOUR DREAMS
MR. ARVIND JAIN, MANAGING DIRECTOR AT THE PRIDE GROUP, HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF WORKING IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY. SINCE THE COMPANY’S FOUNDING IN THE 1990, HE HAS BEEN A PIONEER IN CREATING COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, CONSTANTLY RESHAPING THE URBAN LANDSCAPE OF PUNE, MUMBAI, AND BANGALORE
A HUMBLE BEGINNING
Mr. Arvind Jain, a management graduate with no prior experience in Real Estate, was driven by his ambition to explore the world of infrastructure development. In the 1980s, his family moved from Madhya Pradesh to Bombay. Mumbai’s large buildings, particularly the breathtaking SR Towers, always fascinated him with their stunning glass exterior. After earning a diploma in Hotel Management, he relocated to Pune to work at the Pride Hotel. But he never lost sight of his ambition to create something entirely different. As soon as he got the opportunity to enter the infrastructure world, he grabbed it with both hands and never looked back. He founded Pride Group of Companies and laid a vision for a stronger, brighter future. His visionary leadership has guided the company through various challenges and opportunities in the infrastructure sector. Under his capable direction, Pride Group has executed iconic development projects like Pride Silicon Plaza, Pride Panorama, Park Street, Pride Aashiyana, Pride Picassa, Pride Enchanta, Pride Hulkul, Prime Corporate Park, and Park Royale. The company has constructed properties over 60 million square feet and generated an annual turnover of over Rs. 750 crore. Arvind believes in increasing the standards of living to improve the quality of life. He is dedicated to exceeding expectations, promoting a forward-thinking work environment, fostering a strong work ethic, and facing challenges with determination.
SETTING THE BAR WITH LARGE-SCALE INITIATIVES
Arvind considers three key projects—Pride Silicon Plaza, Park Street, and Pride World City—critical to Pride Group’s success. Pride Silicon Plaza, one of the first IT parks in Pune, saw an almost immediate sell-out on its launch day. With Park Street, Arvind ventured into a futuristic location for the first time, creating a mini-township and a better lifestyle for all the residents. Pride World City is Arvind’s most ambitious project, slowly coming to life. It is a 400-acre township project located in Charholi, Pune. This residential sanctuary combines modern luxury with traditional charm in a unique way. Arvind’s goal is to complete 200 million square feet of construction by 2030. He envisions Pride Group achieving national recognition and rising to become one of the top five construction firms in India.
Strong Commitment to Social Responsibility
Recognizing the critical role of labourers in the real estate sector and the need to enhance their living conditions, Arvind has implemented superior facilities at the Pride World City project and across other developments. These facilities include well-built accommodation, clean drinking water, playgrounds, and a well-maintained school for their children. In addition, Arvind holds the position of Vice President on the CREDAI-Pune Metro Managing Committee. Fostering a culture of innovation, he is always open to new ideas. As a visionary leader, he is dedicated to giving back to society and is particularly supportive of emerging and growing real estate leaders. He encourages them to visit the projects under his leadership to share and learn from the innovative practices and approaches being implemented.
AWARDS AND ACCOLADES
Arvind’s leadership has earned the group numerous accolades, including the Apex India Gold Award 2023, Best Facility Gold Award 2023, Best Programme for Female Workers Award, Best Safety Innovation Award, Best Crèche Facility Award, and Best Medical Facility for Workers Award by CREDAI Pune Metro. Similarly, the Group also received the Best Premium Residential Project of the Year 2022 for Pride Pegasus by ET Achievers 2022 Karnataka, the Best Landscape Award 2018, the “Developer of the Year” award from the Real Estate Awards 2018, and more.
