Mr. Niranjan Hiranandani, managing director, Hiranandani Constructions news
Mr. Darshan Hiranandani, whose father is a surgeon, began a textile business with his brother Surendra. Sadly, their business failed because of a strike in the textile industry. But Darshan had better luck in real estate. He bought some land that nobody wanted and changed it into a big and successful place to live in Powai, which is near Mumbai. He and his brother separated in 2005. Since then, Darshan Hiranandani has done very well. He raised $750 million by listing his company on the London stock exchange. Now, he's working with a partner to build a very tall building with apartments in Dubai, which will have 90 stories.
Mr. Darshan Hiranandani holds the positions of Director and Chief Executive Officer at Hircon International. He is the 23-year-old son of renowned builder Niranjan Hiranandani. Darshan completed his schooling at Campion School and then pursued his education at Sydenham College of Commerce. Later, he ventured to Rochester University in New York to pursue studies in business management.
Darshan Hiranandani began working for Hiranandani Group, which is a big real estate company in India and his family's business, while he was still in high school and college. He showed a knack for making deals early on. At just 17, he started a go-kart track named Hakone and a family entertainment center in Bombay. Now, he's the president of the Bombay branch of Hiranandani Group.
Additionally, he led the company's expansion into Dubai, where he started Hircon International. This company is helping develop the "23 Marina" Project, which will be the tallest residential tower in the world when it's finished in 2008. In the first two years, Hircon made more than $100 million in revenue. In Bombay, Hiranandani is working on projects covering 300 million square feet of new buildings.
Now, he's constructing the Hiranandani Group's inaugural international project, which happens to be the tallest residential building ever built. This 90-story project, costing Rs 600 crore, is underway in Dubai. Interestingly, the 90th floor has already been claimed.
