“Our third investment in India leveraged 7 years of focused, detailed and resource intensive hard work replacing legacy mid-market residential units with a purpose built modern high-rise building of luxury residential and corporate apartments on par with any global city center.” Abdullah Khalid, Doha based Partner at Travel Capitalist Ventures LLC.
