An interview with Mr. Raman Nagpal, Founder and Director of Big Assets Infra

In this exclusive interview, we speak with Mr. Raman Nagpal, the visionary Founder and Director of Big Assets Infra.

With a passion for sustainable development and innovative infrastructure solutions, Mr. Nagpal has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of the industry. He shares insights into his journey, the challenges faced, and the future of infrastructure in a rapidly evolving world.

What inspired you to start Big Assets Infra, and how has the journey been since its inception in 2021?

Raman Nagpal: Big Assets Infra was founded with a vision to bring greater trust, transparency, and value to real estate advisory services.

After spending over a decade in the real estate industry, I observed a recurring pattern โ€” clients often felt underserved, misinformed, and burdened with hidden costs due to a lack of transparency and the wrong kind of services.

This insight has driven my mission: to bring integrity, clarity, and client-focused advisory into every real estate transaction In Year 2021, I launched Big Assets Infra with a clear vision to offer the best property consultancy backed by strong ethics, deep market insights, and a client-first approach.

What began as a solo journey has now grown into a powerful team of 70+ professionals and over 100 + freelancers. Together, weโ€™ve achieved a remarkable turnover of โ‚น 480 CR, powered by our deep-rooted relationships and proven track record.

Weโ€™ve built strong alliances with top developers such as DLF, Godrej, M3M, Omaxe, Vatika, and many more.

Our consistent performance has earned us recognition and awards from nearly all the leading developers in Delhi NCR. Today, Big Assets Infra proudly ranks among the top 3 property consultancies in Delhi NCR.

Our success is anchored in honest advice, future-ready strategies, and delivering a seamless, premium property experience across Gurgaon, Delhi NCR, Goa, Dubai, and beyond.

How does your โ€œzero brokerageโ€ model work, and what impact has it had on your client relationships?

Raman Nagpal: Our Zero Brokerage Model: A Cornerstone of Trust and Transparency. Big Assets Infra hasย  redefined the real estate experience with a zero brokerage model that puts our clients first.

Unlike traditional consultancies that charge commissions from clients, we offer end-to-end advisory servicesโ€”right from property selection to premium appreciation and a smooth exit strategy.

We manage the entire portfolio journey of our clients without charging any brokerage fees. Instead, our revenue comes directly from developers, allowing our clients to benefit from expert, unbiased guidance at no extra cost.

This approach has built strong trust, especially among first-time buyers, NRIs, and HNIs, who truly value transparency and long-term strategic support. Clients donโ€™t see us as just mediator, they see us as strategic partners.

Over time, our client-centric model has earned us a strong brand reputation, high client satisfaction, and a growing base of repeat clients and referrals.

Our clients are happy, and so are we, because weโ€™re building more than just real estate transactions; weโ€™re building loyal relationships.

What are the biggest real estate trends youโ€™re observing in 2025 across commercial and residential segments?

Raman Nagpal: In 2025, there has been a strong resurgence of confidence in both commercial and residential real estate markets.

In the residential segment, weโ€™re witnessing clear shifts toward gated communities, wellness-centric living, and homes offering flexible layouts that support hybrid work models.

Smart homes with tech integration and energy-efficient designs are no longer considered luxuriesโ€”they are becoming standard expectations among buyers.

On the commercial side, the demand for co-working spaces, flexible offices, and Grade-A commercial hubs is boomingโ€”especially in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. Investors are increasingly drawn to these high-potential markets, recognizing the steady rental yields, rising occupancy rates, and long-term value appreciation.

These evolving trends are reshaping how businesses operate and how investors approach commercial real estate.Investors are also eyeing mixed-use developments and REITs as strategic avenues for diversification and stable returns.

These asset classes offer a balanced blend of residential, commercial, and retail spaces, appealing to both end-users and institutional investors looking for long-term value.

Sustainability and ESG compliance are now playing a critical role in influencing both buyers and investorsโ€”more than ever before.

These factors are making decision-making easier, as people actively seek projects that align with environmental responsibility and ethical governance.

As a result, transparency and innovation have become essential for developers and companies to stay competitive in this evolving landscape.

With interest rates fluctuating, how are investors reacting, and what advice would you offer them today?

Raman Nagpal: While fluctuating interest rates have raised some short-term concerns, seasoned investors see this as a market adjustment. In fact, many are using this period to invest in smarter opportunitiesโ€”especially in micro-markets and high-potential commercial assets.

My advice is simple: focus on the fundamentals. Look beyond interest rates and evaluate location potential, infrastructure development, and long-term value creation.

For end-users, this remains a favorable time to buy. Developers are offering attractive deals, and home loan rates are still within manageable limits for many. For investors, aligning with a trusted advisor is key to navigating market volatility with clarity and conviction.โ€

How do you view the role of NRIs and HNIs in shaping the future of Indian real estate markets?

Raman Nagpal: NRI and HNI Clients: Shaping the Future of Indian Real Estate Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) continue to be a powerful force in shaping the Indian real estate landscape.

Particularly, NRIs from the UK, UAE, US, and Canada are actively investing in premium propertiesโ€”both as investors seeking rental income and as end-users looking to stay connected with their roots.

With improved digital access, simplified RERA compliance processes, and a favourable rupee exchange rate, Indian real estate has become an increasingly attractive proposition for global investors.

HNIs, on the other hand, are now diversifying beyond traditional residential holdings. Their interests are expanding into luxury villas, second homes, commercial assets, and even fractional ownership opportunities.

This shift is driving demand for high-quality, low-density, and experience-driven properties that redefine both lifestyle and investment value.

Which markets in India are poised for the next big leap in real estate investment, and why?

Raman Nagpal: Gurgaon, Goa, Pune, and Hyderabad: The Voice of Indiaโ€™s Next Big Leap in Real Estate Investment.

Gurgaon continues to attract investors with its rapidly evolving skyline, infrastructure upgrades, and the game-changing Dwarka Expressway corridor.

Pune and Hyderabad strike the perfect balance between affordability, thriving tech-driven employment hubs, and modern urban living.

Goa is fast emerging as a premium investment hotspot, driven by a surge in demand for second homes and high rental yields.

Meanwhile, Tier-2 cities like Indore and Lucknow are gaining traction thanks to improved connectivity and strong government initiatives under the Smart Cities Mission.

The common thread across these regions? Enhanced infrastructure, job creation, and an increasing appetite for quality livingโ€”all of which are making these cities the new go-to destinations for both investors and end-users.

What are the top three things developers and property consultants must prioritise in 2025 and beyond?

Raman Nagpal: Top 3 Priorities for Developers & Property Consultants in 2025

1. Transparency & Trust

Todayโ€™s buyers are more informed and digitally savvy than ever. Building lasting trust starts with clear documentation, regulatory compliance, and ethical dealings. Transparency isnโ€™t optionalโ€”itโ€™s the foundation for long-term client relationships.

2. Digital Enablement

Virtual tours, online bookings, and real-time CRM updates are transforming the buyer journey. Embracing technology not only streamlines operations but also enhances scalability and client engagement. Staying digitally agile is a must.

3. Sustainability & Design Innovation

Demand is rising for future-ready properties that prioritize green building norms, smart living, and space efficiency.

Consultants must go beyond transactionsโ€”offering data-driven, holistic advice that supports long-term wealth creation and positions them as true partners, not just deal-makers.

As we conclude our conversation, Mr. Nagpalโ€™s commitment to excellence and sustainability shines through. His leadership at Big Assets Infra not only reflects a dedication to infrastructure development but also a vision for a better, more connected future.
