Group’s Growth and Achievements
Group CEO Niranjan Hiranandani emphasized the company’s continued expansion through his observation that the business completed equal levels of projects between the previous 25 years and its most recent five-year period. Through acquisitions the group obtained more than 1,800 acres of Indian land with plans to establish a data center presence from it.
Real estate major Hiranandani Group began operations in 1978 after Niranjan Hiranandani co-established the business alongside his brother Surendra Hiranandani. One of the most well-known accomplishments of Hiranandani Group is their conversion of an abandoned quarry in Mumbai to create the bustling residential neighborhood of Powai township. The commercial and retail assets from Powai purchased Brookfield Asset Management for $1 billion in 2016. The House of Hiranandani Group which now operates under Surendra’s leadership keeps shared ownership over Powai assets with his brother Niranjan.
Future Prospects
The Hiranandani Group maintains positive outlooks toward forthcoming government data localization laws because they view them as promising industry growth. According to Niranjan Hiranandani, this upcoming data localization and protection laws will drive demand for data storage making Yotta Infrastructure into a major industrial player.
Under the direction of Darshan Hiranandani together with their entrance into data centres the Hiranandani Group now continues the successful expansion path through innovative leadership into different business sectors.
