Real Estate – Worse is yet to come
After a dream run of over three years, Real Estate sector has been through tough times in the recent three quarters. The sudden change in the economic environment has put the industry character at acid-test (“Agni Pariksha”). True to its history, the industry players do lack a structured DNA to pass this test.
