Better expertise, technical knowhow give them the edge over local players
MUMBAI: If you believe there’s a foreign hand behind India’s real-estate
boom, you’re not far off the mark.
From your neighbourhood mall to the Rain Forest Resort in Bangalore to
the infrastructure for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, the
country’s construction sector owes a bit of its success to a clutch of
foreign architects.
Ask Andrew Scott from Bailman’s East, Australia. In November 2007, when
Scott was discussing projects with his friends, someone suggested that
he head for India.
It completely surprised him then. But today, Scott’s cost-effective
homes dot the landscapes in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Orissa.
And he’s not alone.
