Founder at arpinCO.

About

I translate spatial planning, real-estate market analysis, and built-environment research into strategy and policy-relevant outcomes, with direct exposure to government-linked development work. Co-author of the Green Living Index, a sustainability assessment framework for residential real estate, presented at NAREDCO. Built the Project Success Score, a 36-parameter feasibility framework, at Magicbricks. Worked directly with a state development authority (UPSIDA) on industrial redevelopment, and with JICA on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad HSR corridor. Background: B.Arch (GGSIPU) + M.Plan, Urban Planning (CEPT University). Currently building toward ESG advisory for the built environment, bringing planning literacy and government-liaison experience that most finance-only ESG analysts don't have. I write about cities, real estate, and sustainability under arpinCO, my research and commentary platform.
