While the Bengaluru real estate sector is usually dominated by the bigger, more media-savvy players, the actual story of growth in the city is also being written by the more low-key, niche players who are instead concerned with design, community living, sustainability, and affordability. These are the more low-key players who are actually creating well-designed spaces that are more concerned with long-term value than with short-term visibility. From boutique villa projects to socially conscious housing projects, this curated list is of the emerging, more under-the-radar real estate brands in Bengaluru, including Aakruthi Properties.
1. Aakruthi Properties
A boutique developer focused on nature-integrated living and community-oriented projects in east Bengaluru (Whitefield, KR Puram).
