Real estate consultant Anarock Group has posted a 36 per cent increase in its revenue to Rs 566 crore in the last fiscal, helped by better earnings from housing brokerage and other services. During 2022-23, the company posted a revenue of Rs 416 crore. Homegrown Anarock was established by Anuj Puri in April 2017 after serving as country head for 10 years in an international property consultancy firm. In an interview with PTI, Anarock Chairman Puri said, "Real estate markets, particularly residential, across cities, are doing well with sales and launches at a 15-year high."

"...we are benefiting from this phenomenal growth in housing sales, having established our tech and digital platform," Puri said. All major business verticals contributed to the revenue growth last fiscal, he said. These include housing brokerage, retail, land, capital markets, strateg

The share of foreign capital in total investments declined to 65 per cent in FY24, against 76 per cent in the previous year. As per the report, PE investments by domestic investors have increased to 29 per cent of the total capital inflows into

Property consultant Anarock is expecting a 30 per cent growth in its revenue this fiscal year to around Rs 575 crore mainly driven by strong housing sales, its Chairman Anuj Puri said. Anarock, one of the leading real estate consultancy firms in India, was established by Puri in April 2017. "Our revenue will easily cross Rs 550 crore this financial year and may touch Rs 575 crore," Puri told PTI. Out of the total estimated revenue in 2023-24 fiscal, he said around Rs 400 crore will come from sales of residential properties on behalf of builders.
