entry asset in Pune, we are much enthusiastic to return to our special market Chennai, with a
brand new office asset. Primarily dominated by the IT, engineering and manufacturing sectors,
Chennai has been witnessing strong leasing activity through the first two quarters of 2022 which
clearly indicates full recovery from the pandemic. With continued demand momentum across IT

worth INR 700+ crore across strategic locations in the country. We are extremely thrilled to
return back to the ever growing market of Chennai for the launch of our 17 th asset which further
