Knowledge Realty Trust's Rs4,800-crore IPO to open on 5 August
BENGALURU : Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT), a real estate investment trust (Reit) sponsored by Bengaluru-based developer Sattva Group and asset manager Blackstone, is set to launch its initial public offering (IPO) on 5 August, said two persons close to the development. The proposed ₹4,800-crore IPO secured approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Friday. The offer will be open from 5 to 8 August. This will be Asia's second-largest Reit by size and India's largest by gross asset value (around ₹62,000 crore) and net operating income, owning over 46 million square feet of office space across 29 assets in six cities, mainly Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. 'The price band will be announced on 30 July. The Reit will be listed in mid-August," said one of the two persons cited above, on the condition of anonymity. In June, KRT became the first ever Reit to conclude a pre-IPO fundraising exercise. It raised ₹1,400 crore from investors, including JM Financial, Radhakishan Damani (promoter of DMart), and 360 One Wam Ltd, in a pre-IPO placement. The round was fully subscribed by domestic high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and family offices, signalling investor confidence ahead of the public issue. 'A substantial amount of the total ₹6,200 crore primary raise will be used for debt repayment. There will be no secondary sale," said the second person. A KRT spokesperson didn't respond to Mint's queries. The KRT IPO KRT filed its IPO draft papers with Sebi in March. Blackstone—sponsor of three of the four listed Reits in India—will own 55% of the Reit, while the Sattva Group will hold the rest. The KRT Reit has a 'brand neutral' strategy. It aims to acquire assets inorganically and give opportunities to other developers to contribute their assets to the Reit while maintaining their brand identity. Shirish Godbole, former managing director of Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds in India, is the trust's chief executive officer; Quaiser Parvez, former CEO of Blackstone-owned Nucleus Office Parks, is its chief operating officer. Reits have faced their share of challenges in recent years, many of them pandemic-induced. But with the office market turning around, they are gaining more acceptance. Around 90% of the Sattva-Blackstone Reit is leased to marquee tenants, split between multi-national corporations and global capability centres (GCCs). Some of the marquee assets owned by the Trust include One BKC and One World Center in Mumbai, Knowledge City and Knowledge Park in Hyderabad and Cessna Business Park and Sattva Softzone in Bengaluru.

How China's Shaolin ‘CEO monk' suffered a great fall? Under probe for ‘improper relationship' with women, illegitimate kids, and embezzlement
Shi Yongxin , the abbot of China 's iconic Shaolin Temple , is under investigation for alleged embezzlement and violations of Buddhist conduct, the temple's administration confirmed in a statement on Sunday, July 27. The statement said Shi is suspected of misappropriating project funds and temple assets. He is also accused of violating Buddhist precepts by maintaining improper relationships with multiple women over an extended period and fathering at least one child, which the temple authority called illegitimate in their WeChat post, a serious breach of monastic vows that require celibacy.

The temple administration said, 'Relevant information will be announced to the public in a timely manner. " Shi has not commented publicly, and CNN has been unable to reach him. Who is Shi Yongxin? Live Events Shi Yongxin, 59, has led the Shaolin Temple since 1999. Known in Chinese media as the 'CEO monk,' he is widely recognized for commercializing the temple and expanding its global presence. He is the first Chinese abbot to hold an MBA and has been active in politics, serving as a delegate to China's National People's Congress for two decades. He was frequently spotted traveling around the world with an iPhone in hand, meeting influential figures such as the late Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, the late South African President Nelson Mandela, Henry Kissinger, and Apple CEO Tim Cook. In February 2025, Shi led a delegation of monks to meet Pope Francis at the Vatican. Under his leadership, the temple licensed its name to films, games, and cartoons, staged Shaolin kung fu performances globally, and entered into publishing, traditional Chinese medicine, tourism, and real estate ventures. Past criticism Shi's efforts to brand and commercialize Shaolin drew criticism over the years, with some accusing him of undermining the temple's spiritual role. According to a CNN report, in 2006, he accepted a 1 million yuan car from a local government to promote tourism, which sparked backlash. At the time, he told Chinese state media, 'Monks are also citizens… we have fulfilled our duties and made contributions to society.' In 2015, Shi Yongxin faced a wave of allegations posted on Chinese social media by an anonymous user claiming to be a former disciple. The accusations included embezzlement, having multiple identities, and fathering children, charges that made national headlines. The Shaolin Temple denied the claims, calling them 'fabricated and malicious,' and authorities launched an investigation. According to Caixin Global and CNN, the probe concluded in 2017 with no evidence to support the allegations, and Shi was cleared of wrongdoing. Despite that, Shi remained influential and was re-elected in 2020 as deputy head of the Buddhist Association of China . Consequences On Monday, July 28, the Buddhist Association of China announced, citing the Shaolin Temple Management's situation report, that Shi had been stripped of his ordination certificate. In a statement quoted by CNN, the association said his actions were 'of an extremely egregious nature, severely tarnishing the reputation of the Buddhist community.' The Shaolin Temple, founded over 1,500 years ago (AD 495) in Henan province, is revered worldwide for its connection to Zen Buddhism and Shaolin kung fu. It is the birthplace of Chan Buddhism, a precursor to the meditative Zen tradition, and is famous for its 'warrior monks.'
