CELEBRATING THE POWER WOMEN OF INDIAN REAL ESTATE

For Sabeena Khanna, leadership has been shaped by a journey spanning four decades and three generations of architectural practice. Along the way, balancing professional ambition with personal responsibilities taught her resilience, empathy and the importance of creating opportunities for others.

"The challenges refined my journey, but the opportunities I created were always aimed at collective success," she says. "I want the next generation of architects to inherita profession that is more inclusive than the one I entered 40 years ago."

Khanna has witnessed a significant shift in the role of women in architecture and design. While she acknowledges that the industry still has ground to cover, she is encouraged by the growing visibility of women who are leading firms, influencing policy and driving innovation. More importantly, she believes women are no longer waiting for a seat at the table but are creating new models of leadership built on collaboration and inclusion. Her philosophy on growth is equally rooted in long-term thinking. For Khanna, sustainable growth is not measured by scale alone but by its ability to create lasting value while investing in people and respecting the Realty environment. "The future of architecture is not just about smarter buildings," she says, "but about creating better ways of living."
