Signature Global Seeks to Drive Expansion by Resurrecting Stalled Noida Projects
Realty firm Signature Global is looking for land in Noida and Greater Noida to expand the business and will explore taking over stalled housing projects as well provided there are no legacy litigations. Signature Global, which got listed in 2023, has a significant presence in the Gurugram market of Delhi-NCR.
Signature Global founder and Chairman Pradeep Aggarwal said “We plan to expand our operations in the Delhi-NCR region beyond Gurugram. We are actively exploring land parcels in Noida, Greater Noida, and the Yamuna Expressway. Additionally, the company intends to participate in land auctions conducted by development authorities in these areas to support its growth plans.”
That apart, Aggarwal said, “We are also looking to take over stalled housing projects in Noida. The Noida authority has come up with a co-development policy to revive stalled projects. A couple of projects have been approved under this new policy.” Aggarwal, however, said the company will take over stalled housing projects, provided the company does not become liable for legacy litigations.
While it will keep looking for land acquisition, Aggarwal said the company has enough land banks in Gurugram for future development.He said the company will launch multiple housing projects worth Rs 50,000 crore in Delhi-NCR over the next three years to tap strong consumer demand.
“Our target is to grow sales bookings by 25 per cent annually,” Aggarwal said.
He expressed confidence that the company would easily achieve the target of Rs 10,000 crore sales bookings in this fiscal.
Signature Global sold Rs 7,270 crore worth of properties during the last fiscal.
Aggarwal noted that housing demand continues to be strong in Gurugram.
“We had given a pre-sales (sales bookings) guidance of Rs 10,000 crore for the current fiscal. We have already achieved Rs 5,900 crore worth of sales bookings in the first half of this fiscal,” he said.
Considering the strong performance in the first six months, he said, “We are quite hopeful of over-achieving of our annual guidance.” Signature Global’s sale bookings jumped over three times to Rs 5,900 crore in the April-September period of the 2024-25 fiscal from Rs 1,860 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding year.
Last month, the company reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 4.15 crore for the quarter ended September.
The company had posted a net loss of Rs 19.92 crore in the year-ago period.
Total income rose to Rs 777.42 crore in the second quarter of this fiscal from Rs 121.16 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding year.
Signature Global has so far delivered 11 million square feet of housing area.
It has a pipeline of about 32.2 million square feet of saleable area in forthcoming projects along with 16.4 million square feet of ongoing projects.
Aggarwal said the company is targeting to deliver 16 million square feet area to its customers by March 2026.This will help the company to recognise around Rs 10,000 crore revenue in the books of accounts.

This new fund is designed to capture the immense opportunities emerging in India’s healthcare space, allowing investors to tap into the evolving megatrends while building wealth over the long term.
The health and wealth connection
As India’s population grows and ages, the demand for healthcare services, products, and innovation is expected to soar. In fact, the healthcare sector is set to become one of the largest contributors to the country’s economy in the coming years. India’s healthcare industry is poised for remarkable growth, driven by rising healthcare needs, increasing health awareness, government initiatives, and technological advancements. The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund aims to capitalize on these trends and provide investors with a chance to benefit from the long-term wealth creation potential in this thriving sector.
Why invest in Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund?
Low correlation with broader market
One of the primary benefits of investing in the healthcare sector is its low correlation with the broader market. Unlike traditional sectors like manufacturing or technology, the healthcare industry is less likely to be impacted by market fluctuations, making it suitable during periods of market volatility. This allows investors to diversify their portfolio while still capturing strong growth potential in a sector with resilient demand.
Riding the healthcare boom
The healthcare sector in India is undergoing a profound transformation. With improvements in medical technology, increasing access to healthcare services, and a rising middle class, the demand for healthcare-related products and services is expanding rapidly. The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund is designed to leverage this healthcare boom, offering investors an opportunity to ride the wave of growth over the long term.
Targeting future profit pool companies
The fund’s strategy focuses on identifying future profit pool companies in the healthcare space – companies that are poised to benefit from the growth and development of healthcare services, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and wellness industries. By strategically investing in these companies, the fund aims to capture the future profit potential within the sector.
Diversification opportunity
For investors looking to diversify their equity portfolios, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund offers an opportunity to gain exposure to the healthcare sector. Healthcare is a specialized sector, and by incorporating it into a diversified portfolio, investors can reduce their overall risk while potentially earning higher returns.

- QUantitative edge: Using data-driven analysis to assess the financial health and growth potential of companies.
- BEhavioural edge: Understanding market psychology and investor sentiment to make informed investment decisions.
- This holistic approach ensures that the fund is positioned to deliver sustainable long-term growth while navigating the dynamic healthcare landscape in India.
The fund aims to capture opportunities in a diverse range of healthcare sub-sectors, including:
- Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology: With advancements in drug discovery, biotechnology, and personalized medicine, this sub-sector presents exciting growth potential.
- Healthcare services and infrastructure: As India’s healthcare infrastructure expands to meet rising demand, healthcare services such as hospitals, diagnostic centres, and healthcare delivery systems are set to benefit.
- Medical devices and technology: The rapid adoption of healthcare technologies, including telemedicine, AI-driven diagnostics, and wearable health devices, creates a fertile ground for growth.
- Wellness and health products: The growing focus on health, fitness, and wellness products presents significant opportunities, especially in a post-pandemic world where consumers are more health-conscious than ever before.
By investing across these sub-sectors, the fund provides a comprehensive and diversified approach to capturing the potential growth of India’s healthcare market.
Who should invest in Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund?
The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund is designed for a specific group of investors looking to take advantage of the growth prospects in the healthcare sector:
Investors with a higher risk appetite: Given the dynamic nature of the healthcare sector, this fund is suitable for investors who are willing to take on higher risks for reasonable returns in long term. The healthcare industry can be subject to regulatory changes, technological disruptions, and market cycles, so a higher risk tolerance is essential.
Long-term investors: Investors with a time horizon of 5+ years can benefit from this fund. They can consider starting a Systematic Investment Plan in this scheme. The healthcare sector’s growth is expected to unfold over the long term, and investing with a long-term outlook increases the likelihood of capturing the full potential of this booming sector.
Investors looking to diversify their equity portfolio: If you are looking to add a healthcare allocation to your existing equity portfolio, The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund offers a suitable opportunity. Diversifying into healthcare can balance the risk and reward profile of your overall investment portfolio, especially if you have exposure to more volatile or cyclical sectors.
Tactical Allocators: The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund can also be suitable for investors who want to allocate a portion of their equity portfolio to a high-growth sector like healthcare. By targeting healthcare’s megatrends, the fund allows investors to leverage sector-specific opportunities for tactical advantage.
Key Takeaways
With a strategic focus on megatrends, future profit pools, and diversification, the Bajaj Finserv Healthcare fund is positioned to capture the massive growth potential of India’s healthcare sector.

Kaamya Karthikeyan’s Mountaineering Dream Gets a Boost from Bisleri Vedica
9th December 2024 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Kaamya Karthikeyan, a 17-year-old mountaineer, is set to embark on her most ambitious expedition yet: summiting Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica. This climb will mark the completion of her Seven Summits Challenge, making her the youngest girl in the world to conquer the highest peak on all seven continents. Supporting her on this extraordinary journey is Bisleri Vedica Himalayan Spring Water, sourced from the Himalayas, embodying her spirit #FullOfAltitude.
A student at Navy Children School, Mumbai, Kaamya is the daughter of Commander S. Karthikeyan of the Indian Navy and Mrs. Lavanya Karthikeyan, an early childhood educator. On May 20, 2024, she scaled the summit of Mt. Everest at the age of 16, becoming India’s youngest climber and the world’s second youngest to achieve this feat from the Nepal side. She is also the youngest girl to have summited the highest peak on six continents barring Antarctica. Her outstanding accomplishments have not only earned her the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Shakti Puraskar, India’s highest national honour for young achievers in 2021, but also accolades from the Hon. Prime Minister himself in his Mann-ki-Baat.
Commenting on this association, Jayanti Khan Chauhan, Vice Chairperson, Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are incredibly proud to support Kaamya Karthikeyan as she embarks on this historic expedition to accomplish the Seven Summits, and we wish her all the best as she aims to achieve this monumental feat. We’re thrilled to be a part of her journey, fueling her passion and perseverance with our support. Kaamya embodies the spirit #FullOfAltitude, and we can’t wait to see her reach new heights.”
Having successfully conquered six of the Seven Summits, Kaamya is now training intensely to tackle the vagaries of Mt. Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica, standing at 16,050 feet. Her expedition to this peak at the remotest location of the planet will require enduring extreme weather conditions, freezing temperatures with the mercury dipping to -40℃, and unpredictable winds reaching unimaginable speeds.
Reflecting on her upcoming adventure, Kaamya Karthikeyan remarked, “Summiting Mt. Vinson Massif is the befitting climax of a dream I’ve pursued for years. It’s the culmination of my journey across the seven continents. With Bisleri Vedica’s support, I’m feeling not just empowered for the endeavour but also reminded of the purity and strength that’s needed for such a challenge. Through mission SAHAS, my journey of the Seven Summits, I hope to inspire young Indians to believe in their dreams, to push limits, and to always aim for higher ground.”
Kaamya Karthikeyan has already inspired countless young Indians with her passion and achievements. Her high-altitude escapades in the Himalayas started when she was just seven, including scaling Mt. Stok Kangri at age nine, becoming the youngest girl to summit a peak over 20,000 feet. Her list of impressive feats is long, from skiing down Mt. Elbrus in Russia to summiting Mt. Denali in Alaska, and with her upcoming venture, she stands poised to make history once more.
This partnership with Kaamya Karthikeyan embodies Vedica’s mission to support young achievers who are driven by their passions and goals. Kaamya’s journey aligns with Vedica’s values of purity, strength, and the pursuit of excellence. We will chronicle Kaamya’s journey, sharing her inspiring story of grit and determination, and showcasing what it means to be #FullOfAltitude.
BPCL and Smile Train India Bring Hope and Smiles to Children in Sagar District with Cleft Treatment
9th December 2024 New Delhi, Delhi, India Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Bina Refinery (BR), has partnered with Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft focused organization, to support life-changing surgeries and build awareness campaigns about cleft lip and palate to underserved communities in the Sagar District of Madhya Pradesh.
The collaboration aims to support around 70 free surgeries by March 2025, alongside awareness activities to educate and engage local populations about clefts, demystify myths and accelerate identification and treatment across 12 tehsils of Sagar district.
The project also includes organizing screening camps to identify cleft patients and organizing workshops with Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA workers) to empower local health workers to identify cases and assist in treatment ensuring long term sustainability of the initiative.
Shirish Chandekar, General Manager (HR) Bina Refinery, shared, “BPCL has always been committed to driving social change and supporting initiatives that uplift the communities we serve. This partnership with Smile Train is an extension of our dedication to improving healthcare in rural and underserved areas. By addressing both medical and awareness gaps, we aim to ensure that children in Sagar district receive the care they need, not only transforming their lives but also raising awareness around cleft conditions across the region.”
Anjali Katoch, Head of Communications and Business Development at Smile Train India expressed gratitude towards BCPL. She said, “Facilitating free, safe and quality cleft treatment is Smile Train India’s priority. This prestigious partnership empowers us to support more cleft surgeries, giving underprivileged children born with clefts the opportunity to lead healthy and full lives. By supporting surgeries and raising awareness among communities and health workers, I am confident that this collaboration will yield transformative results for the region.”
In India, an estimated 35,000 babies are born with a cleft lip and/or palate every year, and hundreds of thousands of children with untreated clefts live in isolation and face difficulties with eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. This initiative marks a significant step towards improving healthcare access in rural India, where cleft conditions often go untreated due to lack of awareness, medical infrastructure, and financial resources. BPCL’s commitment to this cause reflects its long-standing efforts in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to support sustainable community development.
