Bengaluru is home to Puravankara Limited, one of the most prominent listed real estate developers in India. Founded in 1975, the company set out 47 years ago to deliver quality housing to those who deserve it and realizes the hopes and dreams of a billion people. Over the last 40 years, Puravankara has built two successful brands that are well-known in the Indian real estate market: a flagship premium brand called Puravankara, and a value brand for mass-market buyers called Provident. Puravankara also has a strong presence in India and has developed projects in many cities throughout the country: Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi, Coimbatore, Mangaluru, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune and Goa. The company also has projects in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Sri Lanka. Puravankara was one of the first Indian developers to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) into real estate, resulting in a joint venture with Singapore's "Keppel Land" in 2005. Puravankara specializes in luxury and themed projects created from some of the best concepts around the globe. Based on their foresight and innovative thinking, Puravankara's creative and production team embraces technology and construction methods that are well ahead of their time.
