Siddhi Group and Anex Advisory to collaborate for a world-class eco-luxury project in the heart of the Western Ghats
New Delhi [India], July 7: In a move that signifies the evolving tastes and preferences of India's premium real estate buyers, Siddhi Group - a leading Pune-based developer and Anex Advisory are joining hands for an innovative eco-luxury project. The upcoming development will be located in Mulshi, a picturesque destination nestled between the bustling metros of Mumbai and Pune. It will bear the hallmarks of world-renowned Balinese wellness resorts, bringing together the tranquillity of nature, the indulgence of top-tier hospitality, a sensitive and eye-catching design, and a bevy of wellness-oriented features. The planned project will span 400 acres, of which 15 acres will be developed during this phase.
With its rolling hills, tranquil lakes and lush forests, Mulshi is the ideal getaway spot for those looking to escape the chaos and hectic energy of the city without venturing too far beyond city limits. The area is renowned for its idyllic beauty, especially in the monsoon, offering visitors breathtaking views, roaring waterfalls and rejuvenating repose. Importantly, it stands out as a 'hidden gem' that's tucked away in plain sight, with its superb connectivity and convenient location on the outskirts of both Mumbai and Pune. Keeping these parameters in mind, Siddhi Group and Anex Advisory are creating a value proposition that will appeal to CXOs, HNIs and NRIs from both cities who are keen on adding the hospitality asset class to their real estate portfolios, as well as second home-buyers who prioritise wellness and holistic living.
"The project is an incredible opportunity for Siddhi Group and Anex Advisory to venture into a new category--eco-luxury resort-style living. We are guiding the project across all its stages--from planning to development, to sales and marketing. We believe that this project is representative of the changing nature of real estate developments in and around India's metros, as well as the shifting focus of premium real estate buyers. Home-buyers and investors are now no longer buying properties; they're investing in lifestyles that reflect their priorities and values. With Mulshi being a sensitive biodiversity hotspot and an untapped luxury destination, we are implementing various checks and balances to ensure that the development occurs in a sensitive and efficient manner," said Sanjay Daga, founder and CEO of Anex Advisory.
This is the developer's maiden foray into the luxury-wellness living segment, and will be the first of its size and scale in the relatively unexplored Mulshi precinct. The project is being supported by Anex Advisory at every stage, including offering Siddhi Group advisory, consulting, sales and marketing services.

China's tourism revival: Visa-free entry to over 70 countries fuels foreign arrivals; travel firms report booming post-Covid recovery
This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only. China has significantly expanded its visa-free entry policy, allowing citizens from 74 countries to visit for up to 30 days without a visa. The move, aimed at reviving inbound tourism and stimulating the economy, has led to a sharp rise in foreign arrivals. Since late 2023, Beijing has steadily expanded the policy, allowing short-term visits of up to 30 days for travellers from much of Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. As per the Associated Press (AP), more than 20 million people entered China without a visa in 2024, more than doubling the previous year's figure and accounting for nearly a third of all foreign arrivals. 'This really helps people to travel because it is such a hassle to apply for a visa,' said Georgi Shavadze, a tourist visiting Beijing from Austria, as cited by AP. Others, like Norwegian Øystein Sporsheim, welcomed the relief from multiple embassy visits when travelling with children. While the majority of footfall at tourist spots remains domestic, the landscape is rapidly shifting. Gao Jun, an English-speaking tour guide in Beijing, was quoted by AP saying that he was 'overwhelmed with tours' and had launched a training programme for aspiring guides to meet growing demand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cervecería Nacional CFD: Calcula cuánto podrías ganar invirtiendo solo $100 Empieza a invertir hoy Empieza ahora Undo Tour companies are also seeing a revival, Jenny Zhao of boutique travel agency WildChina said business was up 50% from pre-pandemic levels, with European travellers now making up 15–20% of clients, a steep rise from under 5% in 2019. Shanghai, one of China's top gateways, saw 2.6 million overseas visits in the first half of 2025, a 44.8% year-on-year jump, with over half of them entering visa-free, according to local authorities. As per the South China Morning Post, Pudong International Airport handled 2.37 million foreign entries, topping national rankings. In Beijing, 840,000 of 1.49 million foreign entries were visa-free, while Chengdu saw a 120% rise in such arrivals. Hainan, which allows visa-free travel for 59 countries, recorded nearly 663,000 foreign entries, 89% under the scheme. Group, a Shanghai-based online travel agency, said bookings for air travel and hotels in China doubled in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, with 75% of visitors coming from visa-exempt regions, according to AP. The policy's reach continues to widen. On July 16, Azerbaijan will become the 75th country to benefit. About two-thirds of the nations currently included are under a one-year trial period. For those outside the scheme, including travellers from the US, Canada and the UK, China offers a 10-day visa-free transit option, provided the journey involves onward travel to a third country. This option applies at 60 designated ports of entry. James Liang, chairman of leading travel firm Ctrip, said inbound tourism had already recovered to 70–80% of pre-covid levels and 'could be fully recovered this year,' as quoted by Shanghai outlet The Paper. 'If bottlenecks are tackled,' he added, 'China's inbound tourism could reach the world's top tier in 10 or 20 years.'

NSE International Exchange set for first foreign-currency listing
India's NSE International Exchange is aiming to attract its first equity listing in a foreign currency this quarter, a milestone it says will demonstrate a new fundraising avenue for firms. The NSE IX exchange, situated in the financial hub of Gujarat International Finance Tec-City, or GIFT City , is initially targeting unlisted companies for the debut, chief executive officer V. Balasubramaniam said in an interview. These may be Indian firms with foreign holdings or even Silicon Valley or Delaware-based entities, he said, without providing any names. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tan Binh: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo GIFT City is an initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi aimed at positioning India as a global financial hub to rival Dubai or Hong Kong.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India is working with the International Financial Services Centres Authority — GIFT City's unified regulator — to address outstanding regulatory issues, Balasubramaniam said. Once resolved, this will enable already listed Indian companies to raise capital on the international exchanges, he said. 'An Indian company that is already listed can decide to do a follow-on public offering in GIFT City as a separate dollar float, or it could do an offer for sale,' he said. Indian companies have previously accessed overseas markets primarily through instruments such as American depository receipts. Firms in the nation raised more than $20 billion via initial share sales last year. The absence of securities transaction and capital gains taxes in GIFT City is another major incentive for foreign investors, Balasubramaniam said.
