ET’s email queries to Rising Sun Holdings, Adar Poonawalla, and Zawareh Poonawalla remained unanswered until the time of going to press.
Rising Sun Holdings has been expanding its real estate portfolio through strategic acquisitions, including a controlling stake in Magma Fincorp, now rebranded as Poonawalla Fincorp, which encompasses both financial and real estate assets.
The company has diversified into other sectors such as hospitality and commercial real estate, reinforcing its role as a key player in India’s property markets. This approach aligns with its broader strategy to strengthen its position in high-value real estate across various segments.
The Indian office sector has been seeing sustained growth in demand despite the global sluggishness, and the performance is seen as a testament to the strong fundamentals of demand and the absence of any lasting effects of the global headwinds.
