Mumbai: CNBC AWAAZ successfully concludes the North Zone of the 14th CNBC-AWAAZ Real Estate Awards & Conclave, presented by RR Kabel. The North Zone edition of the event took place in Delhi on 25 October 2023. At the conclave, notable industry leaders, real estate developers, policymakers, experts, and influential individuals convened to deliberate on the most recent trends influencing the future of the real estate sector and to explore strategies for accelerating its advancement in the upcoming years.
The event commenced with a welcome address by CNBC-AWAAZ & CNBC BAJAR editor Anuj Singhal. He said “These awards have been a trailblazer in recognizing achievements in the real estate sector for the past 16-17 years. The real estate industry holds significant importance for our country. Not more than a decade ago, the real estate sector was marred by a less favourable reputation. However, over the past 15 years, there has been a significant transformation in the perception of the real estate industry. The individuals gathered here today have been instrumental in this shift and have contributed to the sector’s evolution into a more organised and respected domain.”
The welcome address was followed by a special address by RR Kabel MD Shreegopal Kabra. He commented, “Last year, we established the Electrical Short Circuit Association, recognizing the prevailing trend in construction where buildings are designed for aesthetics but may lack a strong focus on safety and structural integrity, which are of paramount importance for our nation. Hence our emphasis is on both commercial and residential structures, including warehouses, whether they have a lifespan of 100 years or more with a sturdy building structure. There is a concerning prevalence of improper practices in the country driven by profit motives ignoring the safety of the project, and I believe that corporate governance should encompass the safety of each project. Real estate companies are achieving global recognition through marketing and advertisements, yet ensuring that we meet the lofty expectations set by these promotions remains a significant challenge, given the high standards set for our country.”
The event also featured panel discussions comprising esteemed industry personalities. The first discussion, titled Role of North India in Towering India’s Trillion-Dollar Real Estate Sector brought together industry thought leaders including Sanjay Khatri, Additional CEO, NOIDA; Munish Sharma, Additional CEO, GMDA (Gurgaon Metropolitan Development Authority); Namita Mehrotra, Director Finance, NCRCT; Vipul Roongta, Managing Director & CEO, HDFC Capital Advisors Ltd.; Pradeep Kumar Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd.; and Shreegopal Kabra, Managing Director, RR Kabel.
The concluding panel for the evening was on Preventing Electrical Fires: Innovations in Fire Detection and Suppression. The panel featured Atul Garg, Director, Delhi Fire Service, Govt of N.C.T of Delhi; Ashish Rakheja, managing partner, AEON Consultants and Shreegopal Kabra, managing director, RR Kabel.
Preceding the award ceremony, the chief guest of the evening Anuj Singhal engaged in a fireside chat with Nitin Gadkari – Hon’ble Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India. Gadkariji said, “Our Prime Minister’s vision is to transform our country into a 5 trillion-dollar economy, and one sector with the potential to drive this growth is the real estate industry. I recommend that this sector shift its focus towards affordable and low-cost housing, as it has the potential to significantly enhance their revenue.”
The evening ended on a high note with the award ceremony, where Nitin Gadkari – Hon’ble Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India, Anuj Singhal, Shreegopal Kabra, and other esteemed guests felicitated the real estate projects from the North Zone of India. This event was presented by RR Kabel, Associate Partner – RR Parkon, Knowledge Partner – Knight Frank India and Powered by News18 India.

The short digital video launched by RR Kabel showcases how an electrician is unable to decorate his own home while he was busy doing the same for others. This is where the proud son of the electrician steps in and does his bit to decorate his family’s home so that they too can have their own Diwali celebration.
The video is being showcased across all RR Kabel’s social media channels including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and is accompanied by various social media activities. The campaign also includes a dedicated social contest on the video wherein the winners have a chance of winning exciting prizes.
RR Global director Kirti Kabra said, “We, at RR Kabel, have always held our electrician community in the highest regard. This year, we wanted to dedicate this campaign to our Kabel Dost to not only thank them for their relentless support but to provide recognition for all their hard work throughout the year. As the true heroes of Diwali, RR Kabel wanted to help celebrate the electricians that continue to make our lives simpler each step of the way. Through this campaign, we would also like to invite our consumers to extend their support for all electricians across the country.”

The campaign has received over 32,000 social media engagements and over 34 lakh video views across online platforms. Even celebrities like Rannvijay Singh, Saina Nehwal and Bani J have expressed their joy about the ‘union’ of electricity & UCT.
IdeateLabs business head Chris Higgins adds, “Our challenge was to introduce the brand’s innovative technology and make people understand its importance. In a low-involvement category, where grabbing the viewer’s attention is the crucial part, our strategy was to come up with interesting short videos.”
