Hyderabad’s rise as a major IT and Global Capability Centre hub is reshaping its real estate landscape. In this interview, Pramod Kumar Jain, Promoter, Trishala Infrastructure, speaks with Realty+ Editor Sapna Srivastava about the city’s growth drivers, emerging residential corridors, project plans, and why trust and measured expansion remain central to long-term success.
As we were discussing the IT industry, Hyderabad is increasingly emerging as a preferred destination for IT companies. How is this shift translating into real estate demand?
Pramod Kumar Jain: The impact is already visible. Hyderabad continues to see steady demand for IT-led commercial development, particularly with the rapid growth of Global Capability Centres (GCCs). The city has become one of the most preferred destinations for GCCs, which is driving significant office space absorption. This, in turn, creates sustained demand for housing. Commercial development typically triggers hiring, followed by residential demand, and eventually retail development. All three segments move in tandem. Given this ecosystem, I see consistent demand across commercial, residential, and retail real estate over the next five to ten years.
Hyderabad was once seen as a distant second to Bengaluru in the IT space. How do you see the city’s position today, especially with the rise of GCCs?
Pramod Kumar Jain: Hyderabad has clearly come into its own. In terms of physical and social infrastructure, road networks, connectivity, and planned development, it is among the best in the country. The momentum around GCCs is particularly strong. As per recent data I reviewed last month, close to 1,600 GCCs are planning to set up operations in Hyderabad. That scale is significant and points to the next phase of growth. Over the next five years, GCC-led expansion will be a major growth driver, and Hyderabad will remain firmly in the spotlight.
Which micro-markets do you see emerging as the next real estate hubs in Hyderabad?
Pramod Kumar Jain: Development is taking place across the city, but IT-led growth is largely concentrated in the western and southern parts of Hyderabad. West Hyderabad has traditionally been the preferred residential destination, but rising prices and congestion are prompting buyers to look at alternatives. The southern corridor, especially areas around Shamshabad near the airport, is now emerging strongly. Connectivity via the Outer Ring Road has unlocked this region, which remained underdeveloped for years. Over the last two years, this corridor has begun to gain traction. It offers better affordability and has significant growth potential, making it one of the city’s key emerging hotspots.
Coming to Trishala Infrastructure, could you outline your current project pipeline and the development value you are targeting?
Pramod Kumar Jain: Currently, we have two projects under construction and two more in the planning stage. Our ongoing flagship project, Trilok, is located in Shamshabad, close to the airport. It offers spacious 3 and 4 BHK residences, ranging from approximately 2,200 to 4,150 sq. ft. The project is designed for a diverse buyer profile, including business owners, self-employed professionals, and legal professionals. With the new Hyderabad High Court coming up near Shamshabad, there is strong interest from the legal community as well.
What are the ticket sizes you are seeing for this project?
Pramod Kumar Jain: Ticket sizes for Trilok start at around Rs. 1.8 crore for a 3 BHK. Despite the premium positioning, the response has been very encouraging, and demand in this micro-market is strong.
What is the expected revenue or development value from this project?
Pramod Kumar Jain: The estimated development value of the Trilok project is around Rs. 1,100 crore. The project is scheduled for completion by December 2027, with a construction timeline of 24 months.
Do you have plans to expand into other geographies or diversify into commercial, industrial, or retail segments?
Pramod Kumar Jain: We do have experience in retail and commercial development. In the past, we have developed malls, multiplexes, and commercial office spaces in prime city locations, which have been leased to multinational and retail clients. However, our core focus remains residential development, which accounts for nearly 80 percent of our portfolio. At present, we do not plan to expand beyond Hyderabad. The city offers ample opportunity, and as a local developer, we benefit from strong on-ground understanding and execution advantages.
As we step into 2026, how do you see Trishala Infrastructure’s roadmap over the next five years?
Pramod Kumar Jain: My approach has always been to grow steadily rather than aggressively. I prefer executing two projects at a time, completing them with full focus before taking on new developments. This allows us to maintain quality and avoid overextension. I am personally involved in project planning, design, and execution, and I believe real estate development needs passion and attention to detail. Once a developer takes on too much at once, challenges inevitably arise. This disciplined approach will continue to guide Trishala’s growth over the next five years.
You started your entrepreneurial journey at a very young age and entered real estate after working in other verticals. What message would you share with young professionals looking to build a career in real estate?
Pramod Kumar Jain: If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be trust. Real estate is an industry where buyers invest their lifetime savings. That investment is built entirely on trust. Once credibility is lost, it is very difficult to recover, especially in today’s digital environment where information travels quickly. Building and protecting trust is the most important responsibility of anyone in this business.
