Chairman and Managing Director
One thought. One decision. One faith. And it can make all the difference. A young executive director abandoned his peak career in automobile forging in Pune and came to Bangalore on July 14, 1999 with an aim to pursue innovativeness in the conventional Industry of Real Estate. At that point in time, all he had with him was his prior experience and confidence. This proved to be enough to create a new world, or rather, to shake the old one. His complete fearlessness and ability to see loss as an investment, directed him to see the concrete world with greater insight. His fierce individualism surfaced when he decided to concentrate in the South of Bangalore, when the rest of the builders flocked north. Once this decision was made, he chose Bannerghatta Road for his maiden project - Mantri Woodlands.
This was at a time, when others saw this area as a poor investment but he saw it as his milepost. A two-year project was completed within thirteen months and delivered before time to the customers. This trend continues till date and Mantri has delivered all of the many properties on time, every time.
Underlying this winning Speed and Quality managed systems was the evolving of his PQRST philosophy (Punctuality; Quality; Reliability; Speed; Transparency) that today percolates into every Mantri project and is followed by every employee in the company.
What began as one project led to a delivery of over 47,000+ apartments, within a short span of 24 years. Not to forget, an impressive annual growth rate every year. He believes that the credit for this great leap goes to his customers. To him the customer is an inspiration and working for his comforts, a passion and desire.
His focused attitude of 'speak less, deliver more' eventually lead him to partner with Morgan Stanley Real Estate. Today, Mantri Developers has diversified into various sectors including Residential, Retail, Commercial, Hospitality, Education, Senior Living, Brokerage, Interiors, Property Management, and has a presence Pan-India in cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune & Delhi.
Accurate in his decisions, strict in his management, uncompromising in his wants, clear in his directions and loyal to his customers is what makes Mr. Mantri himself. After all, not everyone rates one's happiness in proportion to his customer's satisfaction and happiness. And it all happened with a simple faith -'To induce creativity and humility in the concrete, figure-driven world of Real Estate'.
An entrepreneur par excellence, alumnus of Harvard Business School, Mr. Sushil Mantri is a strategist of very high caliber. From automobile ancillary in Pune to real estate industry in Bangalore is indeed a migration that few people would make successfully. Choosing a platform with fast growth scope and building a company of Mantri's stature in just 25 years takes extraordinary vision, superior capabilities and of course enormous perseverance & grit. Moreover, with brilliant business acumen, achieving clear cut goals such as on-time delivery, highest carpet area, keen attention to detail, a broad range of value added services, etc is reflective of his philosophy to give customers the best in all aspects. With this one factor he has managed to capture the heart of existing and potential customers. And has easily raised the perception of what a luxury homes really are. Today, as one of the foremost builders of the city, he has made it possible for all prime localities to boast a spectacular Mantri landmark, and for thousands of families to enjoy a higher quality of life in Mantri homes.
