At an age when many business heirs are still finding their footing, Gurpal Singh Chawla speaks with the calm confidence of someone who has already lived several professional lives. As Managing Director of TREVOC Group, he represents the third generation of an entrepreneurial family that has learned how to evolve with time, without losing its instincts.
Chawla often describes TREVOC as a “75-year-old young company,” a phrase that neatly captures both legacy and reinvention. The roots go back to his grandfather, who built Prestige Quartz in the electronics industry long before real estate became the family’s calling. That shift came in 2006, when the family ventured into property development under the Spaze Group, delivering 14 projects across North India. Gurpal joined the business in 2008, learning the trade from the ground up rather than inheriting a corner office.
The defining turn came last year, when the family formally launched TREVOC Group as an independent entity. Its first acquisition in October 2023, a group housing project in Sector 56, Gurugram, carried symbolic weight. It was the first project allotted by HSVP under its pre-approved group housing scheme, placing the new company immediately under regulatory and market scrutiny. For Chawla, it was less a risk than a statement of intent: play by the rules, and play for the long term.
Today, TREVOC Group is positioning itself as a serious player in North India’s next phase of growth. The company recently announced a Rs 200 crore expansion into Haryana’s fast-emerging Tier-2 markets, including Sohna, Sonipat, Panipat, Kundli and Karnal. Over the next 24 to 30 months, the focus will be on plotted developments, low-rise gated communities, and the region’s first hospitality-branded villa project. Joint ventures and flexible development models are also on the table, reflecting Chawla’s preference for partnerships over headline-grabbing land banks.
What sets this expansion apart is timing. Infrastructure is no longer a promise in these corridors; it is becoming reality. Sohna’s transformation is being driven by the Gurugram-Sohna Elevated Road and its role within the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. Sonipat is preparing for a 26.5-kilometre metro extension to Delhi and direct access to the Urban Extension Road-II. Panipat is set to benefit from the Delhi–Panipat RRTS, which will bring the capital within a 45-minute commute. Chawla calls it “aspiration meeting access,” a moment when end-users, not just investors, begin to define demand.
Behind the strategy is an operator who understands projects end to end. A graduate of the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, Chawla brings formal training in finance and strategic management to a sector that often relies on instinct alone. Over 18 years, he has worked across commercial, IT, retail and residential projects, handling everything from concept and design finalisation to construction planning, budgeting, sales and marketing. Negotiation, market research and project management are not LinkedIn buzzwords for him; they are daily tools.
Yet, colleagues often note that his interests stretch beyond balance sheets. Chawla speaks openly about his growing fascination with mental and spiritual growth, particularly the power of the human mind. Reading, listening to audiobooks and studying the journeys of successful entrepreneurs have become part of his routine. In an industry driven by deadlines and disputes, this inward curiosity offers a counterweight.
Gurpal Singh Chawla stands at an interesting intersection of inheritance and intent. He is not trying to outgrow his family’s past, nor is he content to repeat it. Instead, he is building patiently, betting on infrastructure, discipline and timing. In a real estate market often marked by noise, that quiet clarity may turn out to be his most valuable asset.
Team Realty+ wishes Gurpal Singh Chawla a very happy birthday and wishes him continued success and good health in the year ahead.
