In 2014, we designed and launched the award-winning ChildCentric® Homes, which revolutionised the Real Estate sector for both, the developer, and the home buyer. IntelliplexesTM, SkyVillasTM, and The Imperium series are our other highly successful product lines. In our 50th Year, we launched yet another first-of-its-kind industry initiative—Gera’s Home Equity Power—a means to provide financial flexibility to customers to meet financial emergencies.
