Moolah Rouge BY RAI UMRAOPATI RAY


This story can be of any young person with dreams in the eyes and determination in the heart to achieve something in life

New India has new dreams. And they are not only happy with making castles in the air but are confident enough to fulfil and achieve those in their lifetimes. Factor this.
Circa 1991: a young man of not even 20 comes to the national capital to do his graduation from one of the premier universities of the country — Delhi University. Ambitious, confident and with dreams in his eyes, he starts his eventful journey of life away from his small town of Sivan in Bihar. A die hard fan of Chanakya and his niti, he believes in growing step by step consolidating your base. But never loosing the sight of your goal and the exuberance and perseverance to pursue it.
April 2009: the same young man is CEO of his own real estate company, floated in partnership. The company is expected to do business of around Rs 400 crores. Its group companies specialises in conceptualising, formulating designing and executing various real estate projects including townships, group housings, corporate buildings, IT parks, bio-tech parks, knowledge parks, medi-city, sports city, hotels and cultural parks. It has recently announced booking for its affordable housing project with apartments available for as little as Rs 5.5 lakh.
On the professional front he is quite satisfied with his growth. From being a modest research professional, who used to earn Rs 75 per hour in IMRB, International, a market research company to a high profile real estate investor and finally an owner of a company, his professional life of about a decade and a half has been quite eventful and exciting. He credits his stupendous success to his belief in Chanakyaniti and his acute business acumen to nose out right business opportunities at the right time. He says, one needs “all four direction thinking — in and out” to have a right perspective of any situation in life. Moreover, fortunately, Indian economy is in the midst of high growth rate period and thus is offering immense opportunities to everybody. The country is more vibrant, fast and is conscious and aware of the benefits of economic development. “It is a very exciting phase of our economy”. His vision is to list his company and make it a Rs 5000-crores group with in a decade.
Talking about his personal life, this Aquarius/Pisces cusp is a dutiful husband. But the status he most adores is that of a proud father as he yearns to be in the company of his two ‘lovely’ kids. Along with the enthusiastic entrepreneur, his family is quite thrilled to welcome their new machine — the BMW-7 series. Not a typical globetrotter, the young man’s favourite holiday destination is Mauritius, though he likes to travel in India. Based in Gurgaon, the family enjoys their Sundays wholeheartedly and often sneaks out to weekend getaways for some merriment.
You may wonder, we have not yet disclosed the name of the person and his company as he feels this story can be of any young person with dreams in the eyes and determination in the heart to achieve something in life in this new India capable of dreaming big.
Though, it would be unfair to him and his achievements if we do not, he is none other than Bhim Yadav, the CEO of Falcon Realty Services, a known name in the realty arena of Delhi-NCR.
