Bengaluru-based Prestige Group is planning to shift focus to the mid-market housing segment in the ₹2 to ₹3 crore range to tap into growing demand from salaried homebuyers seeking quality homes. Bengaluru-based Prestige Group is planning to shift focus to the mid-market housing segment in the ₹ 2 to ₹ 3 crore range to tap into growing demand from salaried homebuyers. (Picture for representational purposes only)(Pexels) 'The pivot this year is a conscious move towards mid-segment housing, which continues to see strong demand, especially in tech-driven cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad,' Praveer Srivastava, senior vice president at Prestige Group, told He said that the sweet spot lies in the ₹2 to ₹3 crore range, targeting salaried homebuyers seeking quality homes. 'We're tailoring our portfolio to cater to this demand,' Srivastava said. "Last year, the group focused heavily on luxury launches such as Prestige White Meadows and Raintree Park in Bengaluru, with ticket sizes going up to ₹6.5 crore. This year, the sweet spot is in the ₹2–3 crore range," Srivastava said. In Bengaluru, the group is launching apartments in Whitefield, Bannerghatta Road, and Kanakapura Road, with an overall city-wide launch pipeline of ₹2,000 crore for the fiscal. Also Read: Bengaluru-based Prestige Group to launch ₹50,000 crore worth of homes in FY26 Looking to develop villas after a major gap Srivastava said that Prestige Group is planning to foray into the high-end villa market, with new projects planned in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Goa. The luxury villas, priced between ₹10 and ₹15 crore, will cater to buyers seeking premium living experiences. In Bengaluru, the villas will be standalone units, while in Hyderabad, they will be part of the expansive Prestige City township. In Goa, the group is currently designing a blend of independent villas and gated villa communities, he said. In the plotted development segment, Srivastava said that Prestige Gardenia in North Bengaluru, an 800-plot project, is nearly sold out. Each plot is priced at approximately ₹1.5 crore. Overall, Prestige plans to launch ₹1,500 crore worth of plotted development projects in Bengaluru alone this year, tapping into strong demand for land parcels in well-planned communities. Also Read: Bengaluru-based Prestige Estates aims to 'rewrite the way real estate is done' in NCR To target ₹ 50,000 crore of home sales by FY28-29 The Group said it targets to clock ₹50,000 crore of home sales by FY28-29. Last year the company closed a sale of ₹17,000 crore. 'Q1 of the current fiscal will be our biggest quarter yet,' said Srivastava. 'We've already launched projects worth over ₹10,000 crore and are looking to clock ₹14,000–15,000 crore GDV of launches by the end of the quarter. We are targeting ₹50,000 crore GDV worth of project launches across Goa, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai over the current financial year,' he said. With a presence in six major Indian cities, Prestige Group is now gearing up to expand into new markets as part of its broader growth strategy. The company is eyeing entry into key urban hubs such as Pune, Gurugram and Noida, regions it has previously stayed out of but now views as high-potential real estate corridors. 'We're exploring opportunities in Pune, Gurugram, and Noida. These are markets we weren't present in earlier but see immense growth potential,' Srivastava said. 'These cities have evolving residential landscapes and a growing appetite for quality housing, especially in the mid-segment.' However, the group clarified that it will not entirely abandon marquee developments. 'While our focus is on scale and addressing real market demand, we won't shy away from delivering landmark projects in India's most elite locations. Prestige has always been associated with aspirational living, and we intend to keep that DNA alive,' Srivastava added.

Meta's days of giving free AI may be ending as monetisation plans loom
Like any good investor Mark Zuckerberg likes to make a return, but he's willing to play the long game. It took a decade from spending $19 billion on WhatsApp before he finally put ads on the messaging app. Now, as he invests $65 billion this year on artificial-intelligence infrastructure and stokes a talent war to hire the field's brightest minds, expect him to monetize that endeavor too by pivoting away from the free AI project that has left Wall Street scratching its head. Llama is the flagship AI model Meta Platforms Inc. built to catch up with ChatGPT. Unlike those made by Alphabet Inc.'s Google and OpenAI, it's billed as 'open source,' meaning its blueprints are plastered on the internet for anyone — including his competitors — to copy and build upon. Why? Zuckerberg has said it's to make AI accessible, so that 'everyone in the world benefits' — a line I didn't buy that from the guy who built his empire on harvesting user data to sell to advertisers. What's more plausible is that Llama is a launching pad for something more commercial, and has now served its purpose. Open sourcing the model gave Meta a free research and development workforce, as thousands of developers bought into the ideal of democratizing AI for all and helped improve Llama for free. It's also made Meta a magnet for talented researchers who might otherwise go to competitors, and who want to see their contributions reach millions of users immediately rather than get locked behind Meta's products. And it's burnished Meta's reputation as being on the side of the angels in the AI race, even when Llama's terms of use were restrictive and didn't fit the technical definition of open source. Critics who've accused Meta of 'open-source washing' were right to believe this wasn't going to last. Zuckerberg softened his stance on the issue already last year, telling the Dwarkesh Patel podcast that it was wrong to be 'dogmatic' about open-source software and that if it became irresponsible to give his AI away in the future, 'then we won't.' There's no clear answer on whether open-source AI is good or bad for society. Sure, it addresses a growing concentration of power among Silicon Valley companies; but as free models become more capable, giving them away raises the risks of misuse. Chinese military researchers have used Llama to build their own intelligence tool called ChatBIT, for instance, using it to gather data and make operational decisions. Researchers also created a 'BadLlama' model with no safety features, something they wouldn't have been able to do with closed systems like ChatGPT. If and when he does, he won't be the first to pivot away from a free-and-open strategy. OpenAI started life as a non-profit that pledged to share its research with all, until it started taking large sums of investment from Microsoft Corp. and became more secretive. It's also common practice for tech companies to give products away before monetizing them once they've blitzscaled their way to market dominance. Wall Street wants to see clearer returns on Meta's enormous AI spending, and the clues that Zuckerberg will comply are there. Just as OpenAI's hiring of Fidji Simo signaled it was preparing to launch an advertising business, Zuckerberg's hiring of Scale Chief Executive Officer Alexandr Wang suggests he wants to monetize the ecosystem he's built. Zuckerberg has also been telling some of the star researchers he's trying to recruit from companies like OpenAI and Google that he won't open source forthcoming AI models as they reach 'superintelligence,' a threshold whose definition is still unclear but refers to AI that surpasses human intelligence in most tasks. Wang has said much to same to the researchers he's wooing over dinners and meetings. Don't be surprised when Zuckerberg announces some time over the next year that Meta's newest AI models are too powerful to be given away. His open-source AI experiment will have served its purpose: attracting talent, free development and positioning Zuckerberg as AI's reluctant hero. But with billions invested and Wall Street demanding returns, the free ride will end.
