Satish is a visionary who ardently wants to solve the housing problems of India, especially in urban India, with a vision of luxury housing for all. Hailing from a middle-class family of Andhra Pradesh, Dr. K.V. Satish had a wish of contributing to the living conditions especially of the urban population by improving their quality of life which begins from home, primarily because of his background and the problems he faced in his childhood. His father was in the Indian Navy and wanted him to join the Navy too. But he had a burning desire to make a difference through his work and contribution to society. After completing his studies, he tried many chores of livelihood and started importing books and promoting good books in their potential market. Eventually meandering through his life’s struggles, he founded a real estate business in 2007, after which a great recession struck the world. As they say, when going gets tough, the tough gets going, his business acumen and dauntless spirit to make his vision successful along with perseverance, made the organization sail through with flying colours even in the tough times. Looking at the problems of the real estate industry and the gap between the supply of homes and their demand, he felt the dire need for a viable solution in a particular target segment. He saw himself inching towards his dream and vision when the first residential project was built at RT Nagar. The second project was also built at R T Nagar, looking at the demand of the area followed by four projects in 2008. Under his able leadership, the company went on developing aggressively as it attempted to solve the housing problems of the fast-growing cities like Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Vizag. Although the market conditions worsened after a year of the incorporation of his company, nothing could stop the progress of it because of the pricing of the homes and the amenities provided along with the impeccable quality delivered within timelines.
