Message from the Chairman
Our journey of excellence in the Indian real estate domain began as far back as 1995, when we established Chesterton Meghraj with the intent to corporatize the commercial real estate brokerage business in India. Over the years, Chesterton Meghraj rebranded under an international banner and successfully ushered in a new era of transparency, governance and ethics from a previously fragmented and unorganized industry.
In doing so, it also opened up a new, exciting and highly sought-after spectrum of career option for young and dynamic real estate professionals with their eyes on a future in the Indian commercial real estate brokerage industry.
Fast forward to 2017, the Firm assumed its current avatar when it bought out Jones Lang LaSalle’s residential and fund management business in India and rebranded it to ANAROCK. With this, we realigned our focus firmly on the residential real estate brokerage sector. However, our mission remains unchanged - to challenge convention and effect a positive change in the industry.
With a hybrid business model of an online platform to garner home buyer inquiries and servicing these through the best talent in offline brokerage, we have a singular and uncompromising commitment - to give the best real estate solutions to our customers. Living up to this commitment goes far beyond a mere transactional model and involves providing highly specialised consultation services which seek to understand customers' exact requirements and provide customised, 'perfect-fit' solutions.
A key adjunct to our unique business model, ANAROCK's Fund Management vertical - stewarded by a seasoned and highly-qualified team - is a SEBI registered Alternate Investment Fund (AIF) for investments into the Indian residential property market. The Investment vertical also focuses on third-party asset management on behalf of leading global institutions.
From the day we made a decision to focus our expertise on the residential brokerage business in a meaningful new format, our journey has been exhilarating. We are having a great time building our business and giving everything we have today to do it all again tomorrow. To achieve this, we remain flexible so that we can accommodate the changes happening in this highly dynamic industry with ease. However, our objective is consistent throughout - to create something amazing.
In a very real way, we currently stand at the base of a steep mountain and are about to begin scaling its summit. The climb will be thrilling and ANAROCK is eminently equipped to reach the peak. Throughout the journey to the top, we will be guided and driven by our core values of Ethics, Integrity, Transparency and Trust.
If you want to chat about associating with ANAROCK or have any queries, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to sharing more of our journey with you!
