| Happy Home Owner Family - Handing Over Ceremony of Sanjeevani Developers' Sangam at Sus on Sunday 20th October 2013 |
By noon I reached Air Conditioned Vibgyor High (www.vibgyorhigh.com). Walking in October heat from the Mercedes Benz Showroom (www.bubhandarimotors.mercedes-benzdealers.co.in) on the service road of Mumbai Bangalore Highway to this point behind Kirloskar Brothers' (www.kirloskarpumps.com) Global Headquarters was boring and tiring.
Helplessly looking at the welcome arch of Sanjeevani Developers (www.sanjeevanideve.com), I asked myself, "Ravi Karandeekar, what are you doing? Is it worth taking one more step when you know that no one will be interested in reading about handing over ceremony of Sangam at Sus? People want to read about KUL Nation & Xrbia - about foolish home buyers & notorious builders in Pune. Not about some 4 storied stand alone building in Sus, 32 home buyers and some obscure builder who doesn't release full page ads!"
Bad is Good!
If that car hadn't honked loudly, I would have dropped the idea of visiting Sangam. Or may be not. Because walking back was equally boring. And the invitation said - "The Event is Followed By Lunch". However, more than hunger - an anger about the honking car driver motivated me to go ahead.
"That rude car driver must be the home owner. OMG! He is a fool! A fool who paid 50 lakh for a 2 BHK Flat - in a single stand alone building - without any amenities - located in a remote farmland - without a proper approach road! Yes! Yes!! This fool must be an IT professional - working in Hinjewadi! An ideal foolish home buyer!! Everyone would like to read about him!!! Ravi Karandeekar, you must walk fast!," I told myself and started walking.
"Keep walking. All your readers know that you write a blog on Pune real estate market only for the free food served at every launch of project. They know that your review of project depends upon the taste of food. Don't worry. Your readers don't know that the catering contractor who serves food at every handing over ceremony of Sanjeevani Developers is one of the best. So, no one will question you for writing negative about Sangam at Sus - so don't worry," I convinced myself.
"Wait! In fact, no one knows about 'handing over ceremony'. Because, very few builders organize handing over ceremony - followed by lunch! All most all builders in Pune - including Pure Vegetarian Builders - believe in 'feeding before slaughtering' - so, they feed the home buyers before booking - after the agreement these builders do not give a cup of tea to the home-buyer - so, walk fast...left...right....left," I went on motivating myself.
Good is Bad!
Now, I could see the pandal - which was nearly as big as - the freshly painted building of Sangam. Just before Sangam, there was a hoarding of Sanjeevani Group's upcoming project of 1 BHK, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats - Orchid Society.
"Upcoming Orchid Society would be the motive behind arranging the handing over ceremony of Sangam at Sus! But... how come this builder assumes that the home owners of Sangam will refer - recommend - Orchid Society to their friends & relatives?," I asked myself.
"I think, Mr. Sanjay Deshpande of Sanjeevani Developers is out of touch with the reality! Property buyers rarely talk good about their builders. Property buyers who have good experiences and opinions about their builders rarely share those with others. Look at me - whenever I write good about a builder - someone, in the comments, asks me - Ravi, how much money did you get to write this? Moral of the story is - good is bad - I must find something bad about Sangam," I said to myself and touched my monthly pass of PMPML in the breast pocket.
Silence of the lambs:
The pandal was full. I had to stand at the back. Some homeowner was sharing his experience. He mentioned about his rounds of conversations - mostly question & answer sessions - with Ms. Pallavi Bapat, marketing manager of Sanjeevani Developers. These conversations, from booking to possession, he claimed, not only reduced stress and tensions but gave him comfort and satisfaction.
Then he mentioned the group conversations with Niten Mahajan & his engineering team. Once when the RCC was ready and then when internal work of the flat was almost ready. Because of these group meetings at the site, he said, he was always in the know - there was no suspense & anxiety about the progress of the site & the quality of construction. At the same time, he got an opportunity to know his neighbors.
I felt sad for both, for Ms. Mahajan & Mr. Niten. This fellow has ended their career. If these guys lost the current job - no builder will take them.
For the sales & engineering staff - talking - conversation with a property buyer is considered as big disqualification in Pune real estate market.
Because, to have a conversation - you need to listen. Giving ear to the property buyer is strictly prohibited.
Sales & engineering staff is supposed to listen only when the builder speaks - without opening their mouth. When they are with the property buyers, sales staff are supposed to keep the ears closed and open only their mouth.
Result is, these frustrated property buyers overflow the web with their complaints and bad experiences - about the builders in Pune.
I don't know how these true stories & horrible firsthand experiences of the property buyers embedded on the web, actually, damage the builder. But, I know that the local newspapers profit from these true bad stories on the web. In the form of advertising revenue & paid news, the local newspapers extort these notorious builders.
"Result is, big ad means - big notorious builder!," I said to myself.
Only Facts. No Fantasy.
After a few speeches, the function was over. I managed to reach Mr. Sanjay Deshpande, owner of Sanjeevani Developers, and congratulated him for successful completion of one more project.
"You know, Ravida, most of the time I am in some jungle - among birds & tigers. All credit goes to my team - Team Sanjeevani!," said Mr. Sanjay Deshpande.
"And in your absence, your staff wastes time in chitchatting with the property buyers!," I said.
"Yes, I know. That's their job. To listen. To talk. - Talk facts. No lies. I have told them. You know about water deposit. I told them you have to buy drinking water. No falls promise about Sus merging in PMC & getting drinking water. Same about sewage treatment plant. I have installed sewage treatment plant. We have to be self sufficient. Go & have a critical look at the project and we will talk over lunch," said Mr. Sanjay Deshpande and told Mr. Niten Mahajan to show me the project.
"Being truthful & माणुसकी are not virtues of a builder. I overheard someone asking your staff - why there are only 3 keys - instead of 4? Your staff said - the fourth one will be given after receiving the entire payment! What does it mean? Did you give possession even if some payment is due? If CREDAI finds this - it will throw you out!," I said.
"Come on - look at me - give up those stereo type ideas about a builder! A builder is as good - or as bad - as you or me or anybody amongst us!," handing me over to Mr. Niten Mahajan, Mr. Sanjay Deshpande said.
Gain without Pain?:
"Mr. Niten, you know, when someone asks me - whether some builder gives possession on time - I ask him - forget about 'timely possession' - just ask yourself - what is a builder going to gain by giving you possession! Only the last installment of 4 - 5 per cent payment! A builder gives possession - may be, because - there isn't any juice left in you - whatever he can extract - he has already extracted from you - so now - the builder wants to get rid of you and focus on new fresh & juicy buyers - so the builder just dumps you. As per his convenience. Tell me - what are your reasons for this 'handing-over ceremony'? What are you going to gain? Isn't it waste of time & energy?," I asked.
"We are handing over Sangam to it's owners. Because, practically & legally Sangam is complete and flats are ready to live. All infrastructural services - water storage & treatment, power, security, lift, sewage treatment, waste management - everything is operational & approved by the authorities - received completion & occupancy certificate. Our job is over. So, we are handing over Sangam to it's owners!," Mr. Niten said.
"Our job is over - we are handing over Sanagam to it's owner! You sound like a service provider!!," I said.
"Construction service provider. That's what we are!," said Mr. Niten.
"Okay, Mr. Construction Service Provider! Tell me how come you managed to complete the project - with all formalities - in time? Only because this is a small project. Right?," I asked.
"If you have will to give possession on time - you can give possession on time - irrespective of the size of the project - you can get all NOCs & completion & occupancy certificate - if you plan well," said Mr. Niten and showed me all infrastructural services in Sangam and took me to the first floor. He took permission of one of the flat owners to show me his flat. Entering the flat, Mr. Niten said, "What you see here - is durability and quality - no superficially fancy stuff!"
"Oh my god! Mr. Mahajan, how can you be proud of simplicity & durability!," I said and turning to the homeowner, I asked, "Are you some Sadhu Purush - Sanyasi?"
"I am a family man! An IT professional. I value the cake. Not the icing," the homeowner said.
A few more people entered the flat. Introducing them, the homeowner said, "This is my brother. He also owns a flat here!"
"Why? Why did you book?," I asked.
"Because someone close to us told us that this builder delivers well," the brother said.
"Is that the only reason?," I asked.
"What more do you want from the builder?," the home owner said.
Looking at Mr. Niten Mahajan, I said, "Mr. Sanjay must be waiting for lunch. Let us go!"
You know what? Like everything else, the food was also simple. But tasty. And healthy.
