Justo Realfintech Launches Chestertons India

03 Apr 2026 CW Team

Chestertons was established in London in 1805 and operates in more than 20 countries, offering advisory services across residential and commercial property, capital markets, leasing, valuation and cross border transactions. The brand is a founding member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and is presented as bringing global standards of practice and governance to India.

The launch reflects a dual brand expansion strategy, with Justo focusing on the mid segment while Chestertons India will target premium and super premium categories. Justo will continue to serve mid segment products in a range of Rs five million (mn) to Rs 35 million (mn), and Chestertons India will leverage Justo's developer and channel partner network to pursue higher value institutional assignments. The approach aims to broaden market relevance and provide operating leverage for business development.

Planned diversification may include sale of high end premium residential projects and villas, commercial leasing, cross border investment outreach, capital market services and hospitality offerings, with formal announcements to follow as services are finalised. Project and Development Management services are intended to be undertaken in association with Arbour Investments Private Limited, subject to finalisation of terms and applicable law.

The Chestertons global footprint across the Middle East, Europe, the UK and Southeast Asia is expected to facilitate bilateral investment advisory between global capital and Indian origination and to provide access to international clients and non resident Indian investors. The company described the move as a strategic milestone in Justo's evolution into an institutionally capable services group and said that forward looking statements are subject to risks and will be updated as required by law.
