The Summit and What It Contains

According to a Hindustan Times Brand Studio feature — branded content organised in partnership with the summit — the India Next Real Estate Summit runs June 26 to 28, with its main conference on June 27 titled "Market Shifts, Urban Growth and Investment Narratives." The three-day format includes exhibitions, panel discussions, and awards.

The session list covers the themes that national industry conversation is circling in mid-2026: ultra-luxury demand versus affordability, branded residences, connectivity corridors, PropTech and AI, senior living, ESG compliance in construction, and regional growth markets.

For MA's purposes, one session is directly relevant. The final panel of the main conference day is titled "Chandigarh Tricity and Rajasthan Real Estate Growth Corridors." The fact that a dedicated Tricity panel has a place on a national real estate summit agenda — alongside sessions on Delhi-NCR luxury, branded residences, and infrastructure — is itself a data point about where the Tricity stands in the national industry's attention.

Who Is on the Tricity Panel

The speakers listed for the Chandigarh Tricity and Rajasthan Real Estate Growth Corridors session: Gurvinder Bhati, Founder and Chairman at GB Realty Rajasthan; Uddhav Poddar, Chairman and Managing Director at Bhumika Realty; Abhishek Bansal, Executive Director at Pacific Group; Rahul Purohit, Co-founder and CBO at Square Yards; and Shriram Monga, Co-founder at SRED Real Estate Consultants.

Square Yards and SRED both have deep operational presence in the Mohali market. Square Yards' transaction and listing data has appeared in this month's coverage repeatedly — it is one of the most active portals for Aerocity and Aerotropolis listings. SRED has been tracking and transacting in the corridor for several years. Pacific Group has commercial and retail presence in Chandigarh.

A panel where the most operationally embedded Tricity players are sitting alongside national developers discussing "growth corridors" signals that the Tricity is now a named market in industry-level discourse, not just a local story.

What the Rest of the Agenda Signals

The broader session lineup tracks the themes that are reshaping Indian real estate nationally — and the Tricity is not insulated from any of them.

The ultra-luxury session examines structural demand drivers, supply gaps, and the end-user versus investor balance. The same dynamic is playing out in Aerocity and the Airport Road premium corridor, where institutional auction premiums reflect demand that is not primarily end-user driven.

The connectivity corridors session looks at how RRTS, expressways, and peripheral highways reshape city boundaries and build new micro-markets. The IT City-Kurali expressway we covered extensively this month is exactly this dynamic, applied to the Tricity.

The PropTech and AI session directly addresses the digital transformation of property management and brokerage. Square Yards being on both this panel conceptually and the Tricity panel specifically underlines that the data platforms shaping how buyers search, evaluate, and transact are applying the same tools to Mohali listings as to Delhi-NCR ones.

The senior living session is the one with the least immediate Tricity application — Mohali's residential market does not yet have significant institutionalised senior care product — but the demand pattern it describes, nuclear urban families seeking specialised housing for ageing parents, is a category that will arrive in the Tricity as the corridor's first-generation IT workers age.

What the Summit Does Not Include

No Punjab government representative or GMADA official appears in the speaker list. The Tricity panel is entirely private sector and consultant. That is consistent with the pattern at most national real estate summits, where the government presence comes through CREDAI and through keynote addresses rather than through authority representation.

The CREDAI National Secretary is delivering a special address on developer compliance and national housing policies. The compliance themes he will address — RERA obligations, fund utilisation, quarterly reporting — are the same compliance themes that the Beverly Golf Avenue HC petition, the Bajwa Developers refund order, and the RERA dismissal in the Muirwood Ecocity case have made concrete in Mohali's market this month.

The summit's agenda is national. Its relevance to Mohali is that the themes playing out at the national policy and industry level arrive in local markets with a lag, not a bypass. What the keynote on infrastructure as a catalyst for housing demand describes in the Delhi-NCR context — Noida International Airport generating demand in the Jewar corridor — is what the Aerotropolis and IT City-Kurali expressway are generating in the Tricity. The correlation is direct.
