Further, in December 2020, the Company successfully mobilised US$ 76 million from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and IFC Emerging Asia Fund (EAF) for investment in Provident Housing. Subsequently, he led the launch of Purva Land to cater to the needs of people desirous of plotted developments.Recognising the need for backward integration in construction, he established Starworth Infrastructure and Construction Limited (SICL) as an internal engineering division of the group. Additionally, Purva Streaks, the interior design arm, caters to customers looking for an integrated interior design solution.&nbsp;His constant emphasis on customer needs and delight has earned him several awards and accolades, including the Lifetime Achievement Award 2023 by CREDAI Karnataka and the Lifetime Achievement Award by Construction Week Magazine.
