Vaibhav is widely recognised for his forward-thinking approach to real estate, and has been honoured as “Real Estate Thought Leader of the Year” by The Times of India Group. His work reflects a deep understanding of how urbanisation, infrastructure, and lifestyle aspirations are evolving across India.

What distinguishes his journey is his strong conviction in the potential of Tier II and Tier III cities. He led community led development earlier in Indore in 2008-2015. Through Keystone, he is leading a game-changing development in Wardha, Maharashtra introducing a new benchmark of planned, lifestyle-driven, and sustainable living in a market that has traditionally been underserved.
