Credai to support 1st generation female developers

Smriti Irani, Minister of Women and Child Development, has ordered the realtors' group CREDAI to support first-generation female real estate developers.

In her address to the CREDAI Women and Youth Leadership Summit here, Irani urged builders to focus on the affordability of real estate developments without sacrificing construction quality.

"How many female developers you know of CREDAI or non-CREDAI. What are you doing as CREDAI to get more and more women developers into business who are first generation business leaders?" she sought to know from newly elected CREDAI-National President Boman Irani.

"If you can in your tenure give the nation 100 new female developers....then you have a successful tenure," she told Boman Irani, who has been elected as CREDAI President for 2023-25 period.

The minister requested that CREDAI encourage and assist young people, notably young women, in becoming first generation real estate developers.

CREDAI President Boman Irani spoke during the ceremony and highlighted the organization's vision for expansion.

According to him, the association would focus on green development and will be carbon neutral by 2050.

According to the president, CREDAI will also support reform, transparency, women's empowerment, and Housing for All.

The women's section of the group would identify and support 10,000 students from construction worker families who want to enter the industry to study engineering, architecture, and other relevant fields.

Aside from that, the Women's Wing will endeavor to improve amenities for children of labor on construction sites, such as basic schooling, creche facilities, health check-ups, and so on.

Rupa Shah, Convenor, CREDAI Women's Wing, Sarah Jacob, Secretary, CREDAI Women's Wing, and Sapna Rathi, Jont Secretary, CREDAI Women's Wing make up the new team for 2023-25.

Nithish Reddy has been named Convenor of the CREDAI Youth Wing, with Binitha Dalal serving as Co-Convenor and Nilesh Vora serving as Secretary.

Gaurav Thakkar of Nashik has been named Chairman of CREDAI's Youth and Women's Wings.
