Realty Assistant Global CEO Manasvi Mehrotra identifies Dubai and India as prime real estate investment hotspots
Manasvi Mehrotra, CEO, Realty Assistant Global
Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 4: The time for breaking into real estate is around the corner; in fact, you are living it! Markets worldwide are throwing up great opportunities. With a careful, crafted investment strategy, now is the time to take advantage of opportunities and make a sound investment.
Acknowledged industry leader and CEO, Realty Assistant Global, Manasvi Mehrotra, with over 15 years in the fields of residential, group housing, and commercial real estate development, as well as global real estate economics across India, US, Canada, Dubai, & Singapore, concurs with that thought.
“While markets are staggered globally, overall, it is a pretty picture. Off all global markets, Dubai is the current hotbed for residential investments. The demand is outstripping supply, and apartment prices were up 35% in 2022 compared with 2020, despite the peak of the pandemic, while villa prices have gone up by more than 50% during the same period,” he says.
“A lot of it has to do with the effective handling of the pandemic by the country has significantly increased its attractiveness to global investors. Dubai’s early easing of restrictions and reopening of tourism in 2020, while much of Europe remained under lockdown, has been a key factor in this.”
A glimpse of that lies in Dubai shattering its previous record of 80,000 residential sales transactions in 2009, as it achieved an astounding 86,000 transactions last year. A lot of it attributes to the UAE implementing multiple long-term visa choices that no longer require sponsorship, resulting in a significant influx of investors, remote workers, and entrepreneurs to the country and subsequently leading to the creation of more job opportunities.
Mr. Mehrotra draws a close parallel with India, another active operational market for Realty Assistant Global, an integrated realty advisory & solutions provider that caters to the GCC nations, the USA, Canada, and South Asia.
“The residential real estate sector in India is on a high, achieving a YoY sales growth of 68%, which confirms its position as one of the fastest developing industries in India. This new sales record highlights the industry’s significant progress,” he says.
When quizzed about what is fuelling this trend, he credits it to a combination of supporting factors to an underlying perspective shift towards home ownership.
“There is a palpable change in people’s preferences, with a greater focus on owning a home as opposed to renting. This shift is being fuelled by several factors, including the desire for a better standard of living, the increasing potential for higher earnings, and a growing number of consumers who have new aspirations and lifestyle changes.”
Mr. Mehrotra puts his weight equally behind commercial real estate, hitting a home run. “India’s robust growth prospects will result in increased demand for office and commercial spaces in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. This trend is already evident in the swift commercial development of cities such as Pune and Hyderabad. The co-working sector, which has effectively adjusted to evolving work demands, is emerging as a prominent player in meeting the requirements of India’s expanding youth population,” he adds.
Finally, what is that one piece of advice he has for young investors?
“Time your investments to really master real estate economics; everything else just falls in place.”

BodyCanvas is the Dream Team Behind John Abraham’s Hot Inked Look in Pathaan!
New Delhi (India), April 3: As the movie Pathaan continues to score rave reviews, actor John Abraham’s sexy, bad-boy role in the Bollywood biggie has also caused quite a stir! The Twitterati cannot get enough of the actor’s sassy tattoos that were created especially for the movie by BodyCanvas Tattoos & Piercing.
Celebrity tattoo artists Vikas and Micky Malani, founders of BodyCanvas Tattoos & Piercing share their experience of working for Pathaan, “For the first meeting, we had brought quite a few references according to the description that was given to us about John Abraham’s character in the movie. We were pleasantly surprised to see that John’s team had also brought in quite a lot of options. So, all of us joined forces to finalize distinctive designs that haven’t been seen before in a Bollywood movie!”
The actor sported a compass on his right forearm with the coordinates for the city of Mumbai and on the other hand, there was ‘Family’ with a heartbeat motif to show what family meant to him and a cross on his finger. The ‘PATRIOT’ emblazoned on his neck to reference his past as an agent and his love for the country. For his massive sleeve tattoo there is a clock, eagles and roses design that depict his strong, macho persona in the movie.
However, the tattoo that is topping online popularity charts is the one on the back of his hand reading- Everyone will come to my funeral to make sure I stay dead.
“John Abraham is one of the most humble, generous and hardworking actors that we have had the pleasure of working with. He was involved in the entire process and followed all the guidelines we shared with him. He took time to visit our studio for multiple trials, mingled with the team and happily clicked fun photographs with his fans whenever they asked. We must say, working with John was one of the best experiences ever,” they say.
From goofy selfies to conversing about their shared love of motorcycles and reminiscing about their childhood, the Pathaan star has left quite a lasting impression on the BodyCanvas team – Daksh Bhanushali, Shyam Wahgmare, Sudhir Rao, Santosh Solanki, Nilesh Janathe, Gaus Hashmi and Himanshu Lokhande, who were the creative force behind John’s latest avatar.
The Malani duo also complimented Yash Raj Films production for their professionalism. “We have been providing tattoo services for over two decades. However, this was the first time BodyCanvas Tattoos & Piercing and the entire team have been mentioned in the film credits. We want to thank YRF for giving us a platform that makes us and our work feel respected and valued. It is about time tattooing got the recognition it deserves in Bollywood. We also want to give a special shoutout to Mitali Jain who ensured that this collaboration was seamless and successful!”
Body Canvas Tattoos & Piercing has done the look test and tattoos for many Bollywood projects such as Aamir Khan for Dhoom 3, Anushka Sharma for Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola, Priyanka Chopra for Pyaar Impossible, Fardeen Khan for All the Best, Anil Kapoor for Tashan, MS Dhoni for Max Oil TVC, Shahrukh Khan for Dish TV Advertisement and Sidharth Malhotra for the movie Gentleman.
Their star-studded clientele includes celebrities such as Arpita Khan, Remo D’Souza, John Abraham, Alok Nath, former Australian cricket team captain Michael Clarke, Krishna Jackie Shroff, Sneha Ullal, Raghu & Rajiv of the Roadies fame, Debolina Bhattacharya aka ‘Gopi Bahu’, Disha Parmar, Dheeraj Dhoopar & his wife Vinny Arora, Rapper Divine, Ambika Anand, Laxmi Agarwal, Shiv Thakare of Bigg Boss Marathi 2 and many others.

St. Xavier’s High School Hosts 1st Annual Sports Day: Encourages Physical Activity Among Students
Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 3: St. Xavier’s High School celebrated its First Annual Sports Day on the 11th of February, 2023, on the School grounds. The momentous occasion was a much-looked-forward-to event, and it exhibited the stamina, skill and sportsmanship of energetic and enthusiastic Xaverians.
The Chief Guest for the occasion was Mr. Anurag Tripathi, Secretary of CBSE. He applauded the students and motivated them to give their best. He apprised the parents and teachers of how the global changes are being inculcated to improve the skills and competencies of the students. He said it can only be possible when children are nurtured with patience and dedication. Sports teach students to evolve out of depression, family crises and other similar solutions. He said that we educate our children but not teach them how to live. They should be taught problem-solving, communication skills and life skills. Children should be made to read the biographies of successful people and try to imbibe the skills which made them successful. It is important to inculcate good habits and values among students as they are the future of the country. Parents must change their habits and become role models for their children.
The show began with a welcome speech by the Principal, Mrs. Kirti Tandon, who highlighted the importance of sports among school students. This was followed by the Sports Captain lighting the torch along with the four House Captains. The students presented many drills like the Dumble Drill, Lazium Drill, Zumba performance, an Aerobics display, along with an excellent Karate presentation. The Skills performance earned a lot of appreciation from the spectators. Interspersed with interesting and innovative races, the show was a spectacular success.
The Chairman, Dr. Amit Gupta Sir, gave an inspiring speech on the importance of sports in the lives of the students and announced Sports Scholarships for all deserving students. Adorned with well-deserved medals awarded by venerable Chair Person Mrs. Manvi Gupta Ma’am, the winners glowed with triumphant success. Aqua House won the Best House Trophy amid gleeful cheers of the students. Parents expressed their pleasure and lauded the dedication and commitment of the teachers in discovering and polishing the innate talent in students. There was 100% participation which made the show such a grand success.

India’s first batch of deaf football coaches receive ‘E’ License
The programme aims to train a cohort of deaf aspirants to become certified E license coaches who will deliver life skills modules to marginalised deaf children through the platform of football
Mumbai/Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], April 3: Slum Soccer, an NGO promoting football among the impoverished communities across India launched a first one-of-its-kind training programme in India in association with Reliance Foundation to train deaf aspirants to become certified E license coaches at a special camp organised recently in Navi Mumbai under the aegis of the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
The certification course was held under a partnership with DeafKidz International with the support of Comic Relief and Reliance Foundation at Navi Mumbai had 20 participants from Nagpur who were coached by Shailesh Karkera, Senior Manager, Grassroots – AIFF Technical Dept. & AFC Grassroots Technical Panel Member and focussed on the fundamentals skills such as passing, dribbling, controlling, etc. Additionally, the training conducted at the facilities of the Reliance Foundation Young Champs Academy also focused on other essential aspects of coaching such as planning a football session, organising tournaments, roles and responsibilities of a coach, first aid and Do’s and Don’ts under the AIFF.
It must be noted that India is home to approximately 63 million people in the deaf and hard-of-hearing category and have access to limited sports facilities, resources, interpreters, etc. Due to a lack of licensing in this category, coaches are unrecognised and often take up undesired and unwanted jobs to make ends meet. Through this novel initiative, all the stakeholders aim to integrate coaches in this category with skillsets to develop new age competencies that will equip them to impart education to several hearing-impaired children.
Under the programme, the youth are not only getting trained under Slum Soccer but will be delivering football skills and football-games-based life skills through their communication method of choice like the Indian Sign Language (ISL). The organisers have also identified and partnered with several NGOs and schools in Nagpur to train children in football through sign language. Slum Soccer plans to expand this initiative to Mumbai, Chennai, among other metros over the next few months.
“To promote diversity, and inclusion at the community level, we have been organising regular football tournaments where participants play along with their hearing counterparts. It served to boost their self-confidence of the hearing-impaired players and encouraged their integration into the mainstream. Simultaneously, the able players got sensitised and developed a healthy camaraderie with their counterparts. The project is illustrating the transformation in the lives of hearing-impaired adults who are provided with access to the programme and trained as coaches. We sincerely thank the contribution of our partners – Reliance Foundation, DeafKidz International, AIFF and Comic Relief for extending their support to our initiative,” said, Abhijit Barse, CEO, Slum Soccer.
“This is the first time that we are conducting an official AIFF Coaching Course for differently abled candidates and a lot of work has gone into preparing for it. The goal is to make our coaching programs more inclusive, accessible and empowering for future participants so that they have the tools to engage effectively with children in their respective communities and sporting entities,” said, Savio Medeira, Director of Coach Education, AIFF.
The programme will also coach children on the importance of education, safety, health and hygiene, safe spaces, protection of their rights, safeguarding, basic life skills, etc. This training will be the first of its kind to meet deaf children’s needs, effectively capturing their attention through best-spoken deaf-focused teaching and learning methods, which can then be replicated in other geographical locations throughout India in the future. The training would bring together the community and build sustainability to take forward the mission to make football deaf-friendly (and deaf persons football friendly).
About Slum Soccer:
Slum Soccer was registered as a Non-Governmental Public Charitable Trust Organisation governed by the Public Trust Act of the state of Maharashtra in 2001. The unbridled joy on the faces of a few street children kicking a broken bucket around a slushy ground in an impromptu game of football, blissfully unaware of the pelting rain during a sudden rainstorm, prompted the founding of our organisation, SlumSoccer. Over the last two decades, Team Slum Soccer has relentlessly worked to make sports accessible to everyone irrespective of race, religion, caste, colour, and socio-economic background. Taking our flag of changing lives through football forward, our endeavour is also to football equally accessible to specially-abled persons. The glorious game of football is considered as great levellers, and unifier and lends itself to be learned and played easily.
