How Technology is Changing the Restaurant Business - An analysis by Yusuf Dhanani

By Yusuf Razak Dhanani : Before technology became a part of restaurants, guests would come to a restaurant, sit wherever there was a free table, order food, the waiter would take down the order on a notepad, serve food, guest would eat, pay and leave.  But now, with technology, the guest's experience is as completely changed as that of chefs, servers and owners, due to a change in technology in the kitchen. Now, with modern kitchen display screens and staffing technology, you can get data-centric insights into what's working well for your restaurant and what's not. This is where technology is making its big impact in the restaurant industry--how guests dine and what pleases them and what doesn't. 

Future of Real Estate in India - An analysis by Yusuf Dhanani

Yusuf Razak Dhanani : There have been many welcoming policies and reforms in Acts that have changed the real estate scenario in the country. Demonitization, Real Estate Regulator Bill (RERA), FDI relaxations, GST, Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act, Change in Accounting standards IFRS have all come up in sequence and have paved the way for a brighter economy.
The Indian Real Estate sector is expected to be more transparent leading to more trust by the investors and the owners.  The sector is expected to have only the organized players. The implications would be positive for both, the home buyers and the real estate sector as well.



The trend in the Real estate sector in future

Increase in the Global Capital flow

The strengthening and modernizing economy and India’s growing reputation as investment destination is expected to attract Global Capital. The private equity activity seems to be brighter in the near future. Liberalized FDI would also contribute in increasing the investments due to the as the increased transparency resulting from it.
The launch of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) would also increase the investments from the domestic players.

New approach to the business models

With the implementation of Real Estate Regulation & Development Act (RERA), the developers will be required to enforce transparency and accountability into the system. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Benami Property Act will also have a major impact on the deals made with respect to the properties. Further, demonetization has also sent signals that the dishonest developers need to change their working models.

Rise of Affordable Housing Schemes

Affordable Housing is all set to be implemented in the current year itself. One crore affordable houses are supposed to be built in rural India by 2019. The scheme is being financed by ECBs and refinancing of housing loans by national Housing Banks (NHB). The increase in the tenure and the budget allocation of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) will further boost the schemes.
The rise in the deposit base and more money in circulation due to demonetization have resulted in reduced lending rates and reduced EMIs. This would further boost the Real Estate sector.

The future sees the Real Estate Sector as an organized sector with more transparency and trust.
