As a true sign of the times savvy builders have been able to feel the pulse of the changing mood and preference to come out with projects to cater to the dreams, needs and aspirations of the fast growing new generation of buyers. Westline Builders Pvt Ltd is in the forefront in leading such a trend in Mangalore.

In a relatively short time Westline Builders has created a huge buzz in the market with some of its outstanding projects. The company has been known for providing some of the best apartment homes to live in and in the process has been transforming Mangalore's skyline with landmarks sprinkled across the city. In doing so the company has played a stellar role in raising the standard of living of the people of this coastal region.

To validate this Westline is on the threshold of launching its most ambitious project so far - “Westline Signature” which is coming up in the most desirable and posh locality at Nanthoor Hills, which is also the most elevated part of Mangalore. To be launched tomorrow this slender, elegant, gorgeous and futuristic project of Mangalore, designed to race skywards, will stand tall with 53 floors and will have the distinction of being the tallest project in the entire South India. “Signature' will be a modern architectural marvel inviting both admiration and envy while providing its inhabitants a fascinating combination of stylish design, idyllic location and lavish lifestyle amenities. It is designed to represent a symbiosis between the stylish facade and the creative landscape perfectly synthesizing artificial and natural elements. The aim is to provide a comfortable and high quality lifestyle and also fill a sense of pride among the inhabitants.

The vision and creative approach of its Chairman and Managing Director Nasir Mohideen has been pivotal factor in the company's march towards stardom. Armed with a Masters degree in Information Technology from the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia and with his experience in the field he has been able to comprehend the rudiments of real estate business to put a solid foundation for the company. Westline Builders is emerging as a realtor of high competence and credibility with a swelling list of devoted and repeat customers. In a free-wheeling chart with our reporter Nasir Mohideen delineates the company's foray into the market, its various projects including its Super Grand project “Westline Signature” and also various other aspect that concern the real estate industry in general.

Q. You entered into the realty field when the industry was witnessing a downslide. Was it a conscious decision or it just happened?

A. It is true that our company got into this real estate business when the industry was going through a slump period. The downturn faced by the realty market did not impede our decision to get into this field. In fact the prevailing conditions spurred us all the more to strengthen our base with a sturdy foundation.

Having endured the sluggish period we were confident of gaining a foothold and we are happy we have made a confident beginning. With pioneering and revolutionary projects of developing residential and commercial space we have made our presence felt in the real estate meadow of Mangalore.

Q. What are the challenges you faced in your effort to strengthen your position in this field?

A. Though challenges were plentiful our challenge was to stand out in the crowd in a market that had players of diverse calibre. Obtaining clearances to our projects from various statutory bodies was also a challenge because considerable time, money and energy had to be invested in that direction.
I hope the government comes out with the promised single window clearance process very soon to ease our difficulties. With our focus on quality and transparency in dealings it was not difficult for us to find our rightful place and assert our position.

Q. What are the factors that helped you gain foothold amidst a large number of players both established and newcomers?

A. We always believe that there is no shortcut to success. We believe that quality is a major consideration for people when buying their dream home. So we never compromised on that factor and moreover there was no ambiguity in our assurances given to the customers. We have come up with aesthetically brilliant projects and while executing them we have gone to the depth to ensure we deliver what we promised.

Q. You have said you want the company to stand out. What according to you sets apart Westline Builders from others?

A. Our USP is that we basically get involved in detail in every stage stage of construction starting from the concept to the finish. Every layout we selected is screened by the architect, management and the marketing wing to eliminate flaws that might affect the quality of the project. All the wings of the company get actively involved in designing the elevation of the building as we also pay priority for the aesthetic beauty of the project. Finally the end product matters a lot.

Q. Though you have many ongoing projects your most ambitious project to date “Westline Signature” the luxury apartment project which is creating ripples in the realty market with many firsts to its credit. What makes “Signature” so special?

A. A luxury apartment can be a true jewel only if it gives an opportunity to the occupants to stay attuned to the high life of the city and experience all the joy that comes with it. Westline Signature is work of architectural marvel, with the stunning amalgamation of stylish design and modern architecture. Its central and convenient location in the most elevated and posh locality of Mangalore in Nanthoor Hills, adds to its aura as the most eagerly awaited project. The project is coming up in a verdant land wherein the structure occupies only 20 percent of the total area with about 80 per cent of open area to give the much needed breathing space to the residents.

Q. What makes “Signature” such an awe inspiring project?

A. For us Signature is much more than a mere building. It is the execution of a long drawn dream that has taken shape in the form of this designer project. We believe that buying a luxury apartment is not just about having a lavish home to live in. It is also about doing a great future investment that can provide the right kind of return on investment. Signature boasts of breathtaking view of the pristine beauty of Dakshina Kannada thus ensuring riveting vistas from the very first level of the tower. With a splendid view of the landscaped garden and the roaring waters of the Arabian Sea it is sure to add more fizz to the everyday life of the residents.

Q. Signature Westline is projected as first of its kind of project of Mangalore. What are the unique features of this residential tower?

A. Apart from being the tallest project of South India Signature boasts of a few distinctive features. It is one of its kinds of project designed to ensure minimum sunlight on the outer walls to reduce heat and ensure coolness. It is a ‘L' shaped structure with minimal common walls thus ensuring the much needed solitude to the inhabitants. The french windows facade ensures that the apartments will have a pleasant brightness during the day. This is the first residential project of Mangalore with a proposed central chiller air condition system, thus giving a huge health benefit to the occupants contrary to the gas operated split AC systems. This centralised A/C shall also provide the benefit hot water to the residents 24X7X365 as a byproduct of heat generated by Air Conditioning system. The central A/C will also ensure energy efficiency saving nearly 50% of the energy bills of the residents.

Q. What kind of lifestyle luxury amenities are offered to the inhabitants of “Signature”?

A. Signature offers configurations of 2BHK,3BHK, 3BHK Duplex with media room and 4BHK Duplexes with media room. The apartments will be bright, spacious and airy with abundant natural light. This is the first project in Manglaore to be announced with ‘building management system' (BMS) wherein the residents can monitor and manage the mechanical, electrical and electromechanical services. Roof top facilities include a full-fledged health club, a 100 ft lap pool and a wading pool for children, open air Jacuzzi and open air pool theatre and nutrition bar counter, dedicated yoga and aerobics room, sauna, spa, steam, a sophisticated gym and ayurveda massage centre and much more. With a view to provide maximum leisure “Signature” proposes multiple sports arenas, jogging and cycling track, a mini theatre, children's play area and also the ultimate luxury of abundant open space. We also propose extensive landscaping with waterfalls to provide a soothing and refreshing atmosphere so that they can sit and relax with the loved ones or take gentle strides enjoying the surrounding beauty and serenity.

Signature offers two level parking facilities and in one level part of the basement is proposed for enough roof height to accommodate multi-level car parking by mechanical lifts. The building will shine bright like a twinkling star as it provides for changing the lighting hues to coincide with the feasts or festivities to be celebrated. The project is also registered for Platinum Pre-Certification by Indian Green Building Council. This green certification will have positive impact on the health and lifestyle of the residents of Signature. As per the rating done by an accredited consultant of IGBC, Westline Signature has scored a high on energy modelling which is quite an incredible achievement. Energy efficiency, cross ventilation, breathtaking view of the roaring Arabian Sea and the verdant landscape of Mangalore comes as a bonanza for the occupants of Signature.

Q. What are the future growth plans of Westline Builders?

A. Currently we have about 9 projects which are under various stages of construction and in another three years we will have more than 1 million sq ft of built up area to strengthen our presence as a builder and developer of good stature. Focusing on our professional approach, dynamism, transparency in dealings, innovative projects and infusion of global trends into our projects we are intending to set new trends in the real estate field. That is our dream and we will work towards realising those dreams.

Bengaluru, Apr 11: The coronavirus-driven lockdown will continue for another 15 days, but relaxations will be allowed in a graded manner, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said after a four-hour-long video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.

“Agriculture and industrial sectors will be given relaxation. Government offices will be allowed to work with partial strength. But the PM said detailed guidelines will be issued in two days,” Yediyurappa said, briefing reporters. 

“Importantly, the lockdown for the next two weeks will be different than how it was in the past three weeks. The Centre, keeping in mind economic activities, especially agriculture, industry and employment of labourers, the Centre will tell us what needs to be done,” the CM said.
 
According to Yediyurappa, PM Modi told all chief ministers that the next 2-3 weeks will be critical. “The next few weeks will decide whether or not we have succeeded. If the situation worsens, we have to face the crisis,” Yediyurappa said, quoting Modi. 

Apparently, Modi sought details on the COVID-19 situation from 12-13 states where the situation is grave. “He did not take a report from Karnataka,” Yediyurappa said. “This morning, seven new cases were reported in the state, taking our tally to 214. Nationally, we were in the third place; we’re now 11th,” he said, hailing the efforts of officials involved in fighting the pandemic. 

The CM said it was “inevitable” to continue the lockdown for another 15 days. “But for citizens to get essential supplies, there’s no bar on them going by walk alone. Also, we will see to it that agricultural activities are not affected anywhere,” Yediyurappa said.

Bengaluru, May 18: Over two months after his appointment as the Karnataka Congress President, DK Shivakumar is likely to take-over the reigns of the party officially on May 31.

"There are two dates, May 31 and June 7. He is most likely to officially take over as KPCC President on the 31st," sources close to Mr Shivakumar told PTI.

After remaining in a virtual vacuum for nearly three months, the party high command on March 11 appointed Mr Shivakumar, known to be the Congress' chief troubleshooter in crisis situations, replacing Dinesh Gundu Rao as KPCC chief.

Mr Rao had quit the post in December 2019 after the party's dismal show in the bypolls when it won only two of the 15 seats and yielded 12.

Congress sources said once the appointment letter came from the high command, he has been KPCC president and officially taking charge was just a formality.

"He will be officially handed over the party insignias and responsibilities relating to bank accounts and cheques, among other things, that has been traditionally followed," they said, adding the official take over was delayed by the coronavirus.

After his appointment as KPCC president, Mr Shivakumar has been meeting a host of senior party leaders and leading the party in the fight against coronavirus.

These include setting up of Congress' COVID-19 task force, alerting the government in its management of the crisis, holding weekly video conferencing with leaders of party's local units to gather information, among other things.

Sources close to Mr Shivakumar said the official take over would be a simple event, looking at the current situation due to the pandemic.

"Very few select party leaders and office bearers, say about 50 odd people, are likely to be in attendance at the simple event at KPCC office," they said, adding that arrangements may be made to telecast the event live for the benefit for party workers and local leaders.

A six-time MLA, Mr Shivakumar had a long wait for his appointment to the coveted post, due to opposition within. There were reports that Congress Legislature Party leader Siddarmaiah had lobbied in favour of one of his confidants for the top job.

In a first, appointment of three KPCC Working Presidents- Satish Jharkiholi, Saleem Ahammed and Eashwar Khandre, was seen as an attempt by those apposing Mr Shivakumar, to weaken his hold on the party.

For many Indian tycoons, 2019 turned woeful as lenders -- empowered by the nation’s recent bankruptcy law and desperate to clean up soured debt from their books -- started seizing assets of delinquent firms or dragged them into insolvency.

Indian banks wrote off a record $39 billion of loans in the 18 months through September in a bid to repair their balance sheets as they battled the world’s worst bad debt pile. Making matters worse, a shadow banking crisis led to a funding squeeze, crushing debt-laden businesses that were critically dependent on rollover financing.

“Life has come a full circle for tycoons that had enjoyed debt-fueled growth,” said Nirmal Gangwal, founder of distress and debt restructuring advisory firm Brescon & Allied Partners LLP. “Many firms collapsed like a house of cards. The downfall was rather unprecedented.”
The government has also been cracking down on economic crime to assuage public anger over absconding businessmen. It’s even barred some from traveling overseas if they were deemed a flight risk.

Here are some of the country’s biggest and most-storied businessmen who saw their fortunes fade. Spokespersons for none of these tycoons, except Essar, immediately replied to emails and text messages seeking comments.

Anil Ambani

The chairman of Reliance Group, which makes movies to metro lines, had a close shave with jail time in March before his elder brother and Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, bailed him out at the last minute. The woes of the ex-billionaire came to the fore when India’s top court asked him to pay Ericsson AB’s India unit about $77 million of past dues or go to jail since Anil Ambani, 60, had given a personal guarantee. His telecom carrier slipped into insolvency this year, while unprofitable Reliance Naval & Engineering Ltd. faced a cash crunch. Reliance Capital Ltd. is selling assets to pare debt. Ambani is also fending off Chinese lenders in a London court.

Malvinder & Shivinder Singh

Karma caught up with ex-billionaires and brothers Malvinder Singh, 47, and Shivinder Singh, 44, and how. Scions of a prominent business family, they once helmed India’s top drug maker and second-largest hospital chain. In October, the two were arrested on charges of fraudulently diverting nearly $337 million from a lender they controlled. India’s market regulator found in 2018 that the brothers had defrauded their hospital company of about $56 million. The collapse of the $2 billion empire turned brother against brother, prompting their mother to broker a peace deal that was short-lived. In February, Malvinder accused Shivinder and their spiritual guru of fraud.

Shashikant & Ravikant Ruia

After a hard-fought battle to keep their flagship steel mill, the first-generation entrepreneurs finally saw the bankrupt Essar Steel India Ltd. pass on to ArcelorMittal last month. The $5.9 billion takeover was almost two years in the making with multiple legal wrangles. The group, controlled by Shashikant Ruia, 76, and Ravikant Ruia, 70, were also reprimanded by a U.K. judge in March this year for concealing documents. Started in 1969 as a construction firm, Essar Group diversified, investing about $18 billion between 2008 and 2012, and piled on debt. In 2017, the group had sold another prized asset, Essar Oil.

Selling an asset to pare a liability shouldn’t be seen as a “lost asset,” an Essar spokesman said, adding that the group remains a diversified conglomerate.

VG Siddhartha

Before jumping off a bridge into a river in July in an apparent suicide, the founder of India’s biggest coffee chain Cafe Coffee Day had penned a letter that spoke of pressure from lenders, a private equity firm and harassment by tax officials. He had spent much of the last two years pledging ever more of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd. shares to refinance loans for ever shorter periods, at ever higher interest rates. “I would like to say I gave it my all,” V.G. Siddhartha, 60, wrote in the letter. “I fought for a long time but today I gave up.”

Naresh Goyal

The former ticketing agent who built India’s largest airline by value, stepped down as chairman of Jet Airways India Ltd. in March, caving in to pressure from banks who took over the company. Cut-throat price wars and surging costs pushed Jet deeper into loss. The airline stopped flying in April and went into bankruptcy two months later as lenders failed to find a buyer. In July, an Indian court barred Naresh Goyal from flying overseas after the government said it was investigating an alleged $2.6 billion fraud involving Jet Airways.

Rana Kapoor

The founder of Yes Bank Ltd., which became India’s fourth-largest non-state lender, tweeted in September 2018 that his shares were invaluable and requested his children never to sell them upon inheritance. But trouble was brewing. The nation’s banking regulator, which found the lender had repeatedly under-reported its bad loans, refused to extend his tenure as chief executive officer. This forced Rana Kapoor, 62, to step down by end-January. Kapoor, who has pledged some of his Yes Bank shares in July, sold almost his entire stake in the lender by October.

Subhash Chandra

The rice trader-turned-media mogul, 69, who brought cable television into Indian homes in the early 1990s with his ZEE TV, resigned as chairman of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. in November and lost control of his crown jewel. Subhash Chandra has been selling stake in Zee Entertainment in the past few months to repay group’s debt.

Gautam Thapar

A default by Gautam Thapar, founder of the paper mill-to-power transmission Avantha Group, on pledged shares made Yes Bank Ltd. the biggest shareholder in CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd. In August, the firm was hit by an accounting scandal forcing the board to remove Thapar, 59, from the chairman’s post. A month later, the market regulator ordered a forensic audit of the firm and barred Thapar from accessing securities market.
