Meet woman who has bought India's most expensive apartments in Mumbai for Rs..., her name is..., business is.... Mumbai's luxury real estate market has once again set a new record and reports suggest that a sea-facing duplex apartment in Worli has been sold for a staggering Rs. 639 crore, making it the most expensive residential property sold in India to date. The property spans a massive 22,572 square feet in a 40-floor building. The buyer is Leena Gandhi Tewari, chairperson of USV India, a pharmaceutical company. Leena Gandhi Tewari purchased two ultra-luxury units between the 32nd and 35th floors. The cost was around Rs. 2.83 lakh per square foot based on the carpet area. The property registration was completed earlier this week. According to documents, Tiwari alone paid more than Rs. 63.9 crore in stamp duty and GST. Worli, situated along the southern-central coastline of Mumbai, has become a hotspot for luxury housing. Who is Leena Gandhi Tewari? Leena Gandhi Tewari is the chairperson of USV Private Limited, a leading Indian pharmaceutical and biotechnology company. She is the granddaughter of Vithal Balkrishna Gandhi, who founded USV in 1961 in collaboration with Revlon. What began as a pharmaceutical importing company has grown into one of the major players in India's healthcare sector. Leena Tewari is also one of the richest women in India. As of May 29, 2025, her real-time net worth is estimated at USD 3.9 billion, according to Forbes. Globally, she ranks 964th among the world's richest people. In 2023, Forbes India listed her as the 45th richest woman in India. Her wealth surpasses that of well-known entrepreneurs like Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw of Biocon and Falguni Nayar of Nykaa.

Why Worli is becoming the address of choice for India's elite Worli, located in South-Central Mumbai, is fast becoming one of the most coveted addresses for India's ultra-rich. Its panoramic view of the Arabian Sea, close proximity to business hubs like Bandra and Nariman Point, and upcoming infrastructure projects such as the Sea Link extension make it an attractive destination for luxury real estate. Earlier this month, veteran banker Uday Kotak also made headlines for buying an entire sea-facing building in Worli for over Rs. 400 crore. Some apartments in that deal reportedly sold at around Rs. 2.9 lakh per sq ft, including ownership rights to the land, making it one of the most expensive real estate transactions in India.
