INTROSPECTION OF SELF
His escapade to the gallery of luxury real estate development was initiated in the thought of a moment – a hunger to be nothing but the number one. Nitesh pursued his career as a tennis pro for a few years. His excellent skills made him won several state-level championships; however, he soon realized that he had reached the peak of his game and there wasn’t any growth ahead. He did not want to stay in a field where he couldn’t be the
best. And his heart’s calling told him that business is what can give him the thrill of palpable success and the top spot.
It was in the year 1997 when 20-year-old Nitesh borrowed a sum of Rs. 12,000 from his mother and began his entrepreneurial journey by selling billboard space in Bengaluru. It was around this time an old building on MG Road in Central Bengaluru caught his eye, which he developed into an office space called Nitesh Broadway, and marked his entry into the real estate sector. This was also the inception of the now popular Joint Development model used rampantly in the real estate world. Though initially it was difficult for him to convince the financiers as they ignored his passion considering him just another young boy, he never let this dishearten him. And from then on, there was no looking back for this self-motivated man, as he developed a plethora of properties in just over a decade including commercial spaces, condos, a shopping mall and a luxury hotel.
