The Indian real estate sector in on a major crossroad. The Government of India along with the governments of the respective states has taken several initiatives to encourage the development in the sector.

For a plan to work, something that is drawn out on such a big canvas, it is essential to get investor appreciation. Once you have the trust of your investors, you can soar high into the skies and build your dreams. But often, getting investors poses as a challenge. And as the protocol has it, Olympeo Infrastructure too had it as a challenge to get investor appreciation initially.But, the company being professionals in working with large enterprises, they were able to handle liaisons and approvals with ease. They were also able to handle local environment at sites and getting quality work from contractors & vendors at the outskirts locations.
Each company is able to bounce back up after hitting its lowest point. It just takes tremendous amount of effort to do that. There comes a point in the journey of the enterprise, the triggering point that catalyses this process of growth.

Mr. Prabhat Ranjan’s Message to the Newbies-
We have to choose our priorities in life. These can evolve over period of time based on our stage of life. As long as we are honest to our goals and are giving our best to achieve that, everything else should be secondary. However, we can’t fully ignore or isolate ourselves from getting influenced by the rat race out there. To cope up with that we should develop interests and passions outside our profession. Sports, travel, reading, spending time with family & friends and active involvement on social works gives a lot of meaning in life and satisfaction. These acts as balancing role on the peer pressure that we come across on account of rat race.
While it is necessary to develop our interests, the competition out there can’t be ignored. And to cope with that, you need to be vigilant. Constant vigilance is a need of the hour. Significant numbers of companies falter at various stages of their existence on account of slippage at operational level.
Vigilance is required at each step of the company operation not only to check financial fraud or leakages but also to look into the redundancies at every level. Constant vigilance keeps the organisation at it toes, improves accountability and prevents financial meanderings. One thing we must keep in mind that constant vigilance is not due to lack of trust. At every level we follow ‘Trust but Verify’ principle. This way process becomes the vigilant free from human error.
“And, when you want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it”
