Bangalore-based, Century Real Estate and the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore has signed an MoU for setting up the IIMB-Century real estate research initiative.
The IIMB-Century Real Estate Research Initiative will focus on collecting data and conducting scientific, cross-disciplinary research on the Indian real estate sector that will be published in leading academic and practitioner journals, the realty company said in a statement.
“There is a tearing need for such an initiative in the real estate space that will focus on research, act as an interface between the industry and the policy makers and eventually churn out quality human resource for this sector,” says P Dayananda Pai, Founder-Century Real Estate.
Additionally the research initiative will seek to provide guidance and policy recommendation to government and industry stakeholders on major issues relating to the Real Estate sector.
“The initial charter for the Research Initiative will be to create taxonomy of relevant data that will be required to do meaningful research, initiate research projects that fill key knowledge gaps and engage with key stakeholders within the industry” says professor Venky Panchapagesan, who has been leading the effort to set up this initiative at IIMB.
