a new perspective

T
he New Year brings with it a new energy and a promise of
many possibilities. It brings with it a new dawn – filled with
new beginnings, new opportunities, and new adventures. If
last year wasn’t what you’d hoped it would be, the New Year gives you
the opportunity to wipe the slate clean – a time to say goodbye to the
disappointments, frustrations, and fears of the year that has passed.
It’s a line in the sand, allowing us to let go of what isn’t serving us,
and embrace all that lies ahead. On the first day of the year, it seems
like the possibilities for our future are endless.
We at Emaar MGF begin this New Year with a new Resolve. A
Resolve which brings with it the determination to move towards a
better and brighter future, one that will guide us towards our end goal
of being the ‘most admired and respected Company in real estate’,
despite the challenges we may encounter along the way.
Here’s to new energies, new dimensions, new horizons, and a whole
new perspective.
In this New Year we bring to you Horizons in a striking new format of
a news-magazine. It is visually strong and brings to you all the new
developments at Emaar MGF. We hope you will enjoy reading it.
Happy 2014.

As we begin 2014 I take this opportunity to extend my warmest greetings to colleagues,
partners, customers and their families as I wish them a very Happy New Year.
I am particularly excited about the year ahead as we move forth with renewed vigor and
determination. We have spent the last few months taking large strides in streamlining
our organisational processes in keeping with our ambitious goals to build mega
communities which support the building of a ‘New India’.
These large strides are our commitment to move Emaar MGF towards higher business
competitiveness and sustained market leadership, taking us a step closer to our vision to
be ‘the most admired and respected real estate Company in India’. Emaar MGF brings with
it a promise of world class expertise. We are very conscious of our responsibility to deliver
the best in quality and design in keeping with international best practices.
We are committed to set a new benchmark in real
estate practices and lead by example, having well
trained and highly motivated real estate
professionals who provide top quality, superior
value to our customers. We would like to assure our
customers that we are aware of the issues and
concerns faced by them and our steps have
addressed changes at every level.

India is going through an interesting and challenging phase, where business, economic
and political status quo is being challenged. The impact is being felt with slowdown in
growth and demand, and high inflation. Though, the investment outlook, both at
corporate and individual levels, is currently bearish, the Indian economy is fairly robust
to withstand such temporary phases of slowdown. With sustained initiatives at the
economic, business and regulatory levels, it is a matter of time, when the wheels of growth
shall start moving to a desired pace.
We focus on long term value creation and brand building through the development of our
projects. We have been able to insulate ourselves from the short term adverse market
conditions, by adopting a dynamic business and operating model with respect to the
launch and phasing of projects, flexible pricing and payment plans, flexible contracting
strategy, channelizing resources with a focus on project development and delivery.
Emaar MGF has a robust portfolio of over 18,500 property units under various stages of
development across the country. We have already completed and delivered The Palm
Springs and Commonwealth Games Village in the NCR and other key projects like
Esplanade in Chennai and first phase of Mohali, Indore and Jaipur Townships. We will be
completing and delivering many projects in 2014, amongst which will be Sky Terraces,
Premier Terraces, Garden Terraces, Palm Square, Palm Springs Plaza, Digital Greens,
first phase of Emerald Hills, next phases of Mohali, Jaipur and Indore Township Projects.
We have a pipeline of projects that will be launched progressively to maintain healthy and
sustainable growth. Our objective has always been to bring products to the markets that
are in line with customer expectations in terms of living and business environment,
design and pricing. We value and respect the support from all our stake holders, be it, our
Customers, Contractors, Lenders, Promoters, and last but not the least, our Employees.
“WE FOCUS ON LONG TERM
VALUE CREATION AND BRAND BUILDING.”
Sanjay Malhotra, CFO
Sanjay Malhotra, joined Emaar MGF in December 2006, as the Chief Operating
Officer, and is currently the Group Chief Financial Officer of the Company. He has
over 26 years of varied functional experience, covering Finance, Business & Project
Development and Operations, in diverse industries like Real Estate development,
Hospitality, Entertainment and Corporate Finance.

The Promoters of the Company, Emaar and MGF, have always complemented each other
and supported the Company through tougher and better times. They have contributed
significantly to the growth of the Company on an ongoing basis, through Investments,
Project Development Global Best Practices, Strategic Guidance and Brand
Development.
We have remained strong at an operating level and our performance is better judged by
our growth in the development of our projects, maintaining a healthy asset-liability
balance and ensuring availability of resources through the dynamic cycles of the
business.

“We lay great emphasis on honesty, integrity,
passion, service and professionalism in not only
how we work with our clients, but how we work
with each other.”
Q1: Emaar MGF is currently in the
process of reinventing and restructuring
itself, working towards sustained market
leadership. What are the key elements of
your strategy to achieve end goals?
“A MOTTO I LIVE BY:
DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.”
Dr. K. Ramamurthy, CEO Projects
Dr. K. Ramamurthy, an alumnus of IIT Madras, brings with him extensive crosscultural experience of over four decades in the Construction and Infrastructure sector,
with a strong track record of managing strategic responsibilities.

I’d like to share a small story with you.
I was the supervising engineer at the
Chennai International Airport and was
overseeing pavement strengthening at
the site. The job required excruciating
accuracy and meticulousness with no
room for error as this was an operational
airport with regular flights coming in
and taking off. You either got it right the
first time or it had to be dismantled!
A lesson that I learned through this
experience, very early in my life, and
have kept with me till today is ‘Do it
right the first time’.
Through my four decades of experience
in the Construction Management
Industry, I have identified three key
drivers to success: People, Processes and
Strategy. We would like to deliver
superior value to our customers. Our
end goal is to keep our customer’s best
interests in mind and ultimately achieve
100% customer satisfaction. We need to
have a unique approach that emphasises
honesty, integrity, passion, service and
professionalism, not only in how we
interface and work with our clients but
how we work with each other.
Going forward, we need to build
committed leadership with a focus on
the customer, integrated processes and
assembly of full teams at the inception
of projects, a quality driven agenda set in
timeliness, waste reduction and prompt
aftercare. We need to foster a
commitment to people through
reinvesting in training, employee
development and performance
management to ensure our people are
our competitive advantage.

“We are driving accountability, project monitoring,
partnering with the right contractors and an
assembly line approach at construction sites to
ensure smoother project management with a higher
success delivery.”
Q2: What are the steps you are taking to
enhance the Project Management
practices at Emaar MGF?
At Emaar MGF, we are proactively
driving accountability, project
monitoring, partnering with the right
contractors, adopting innovative
methods to reduce the number of steps,
simplify design and a streamlined and
assembly line approach at construction
sites to ensure smoother project
management with higher success
delivery.
We have identified five core processes:
1. Design and Change Management, 2.
Planning, 3. Contracting &
Procurement, 4. Cost Control & Project
Review and 5. Tracking. A combination
of all these brings about a successful
completion of the project.
Design needs to be better integrated in
the construction process to optimise the
8
value of a building to its end users.
Through this, the design team can take
more responsibility for the implications
of their designs in terms of cost, quality,
health and safety.
We are putting in place more efficient
project management and cost
management systems within the
Company to ensure greater
responsibility for people at different
levels in the projects and better cost
estimation that starts at the concept
stage itself. Planning processes have
been put into place to ensure that we get
more streamlined construction quality
and deliveries.
We are developing a more
comprehensive and nuanced approach to
selecting contractors and evaluating
tenders. Contractors will be selected on
the basis of achieving long term
sustainable value for money as opposed
to the lowest tender price. Factors like
the quality of the design, proposed
method of construction, the likely costs
of operating the completed construction
and meeting health and safety
requirements must also be considered.
We are looking to work closely with
contractors of the highest quality, setting
tough expectations and grooming them
as construction partners in the process.
The need of the hour is to change the
paradigm. Quality will be given the
highest importance and documentation
will be put in place to ensure we achieve
quality.
Q3: What’s Emaar MGF’s vision for
2020 and what are your business growth
plans, going forward?
Our vision is to become the most
admired real estate Company in India.
We want to focus on creating market
driven products with well trained and
highly motivated real estate
professionals, who continually work on
providing top quality service for our
clients and customers.
Emaar MGF’s mission in India includes
creating value added, master-planned
communities that meet the full
spectrum of lifestyle needs as contained
in the vision of Emaar-Dubai. We hope
to achieve this with a high standard of
ethics, professionalism and client care,
while respecting and complying with
Our end goal is to
focus on the
customer and
ultimately achieve
100% customer
satisfaction.
safety, environmental and legal
regulations. We thus hope to expand
‘market-leadership’ with diverse
products serving our customers’
unique needs, now and into the future.
As a Company, we will consistently
deliver 110% of our client’s
expectations in every real estate
transaction, thereby adding true value
to every relationship. Our ultimate
objective is to run a profitable business
through goal-setting, planning and
superior service to our clients through
honesty in the pricing and in the
marketability of our property.

“We have moved Design from being the tail of
the animal to being the mouth of the animal.”
As head of the design team at Emaar MGF, Adrian
realises the importance of design not only as an essential
ingredient for customer satisfaction but also as a key
driver of business. And that is why he has ‘moved design
from being the tail of the animal to being the mouth of
the animal.’ “Earlier, we just delivered the end result.
Now, the design team is driving the business case for the
Company. We are now looking at the fundamental
feasibility of the project. We apply financial models to
our project and cash flow management of our projects.”
Realising that ‘Good Design is Good Business’, design at
Emaar MGF has gone through considerable restructuring
and reorganisation, with a sharp focus on product quality,
timelines and decision-making in order to align design
with the business goals of the Company and with its
consumer base.
Adrian Hardwick Jones, Chief of Design
10
The Company has redefined its relationships with
vendors and consultants making them creative partners
on projects. “We strive to work with the best consultants
in the field, who understand the market in which we are
building. A cultural sensitivity is the key to be receptive
to the ever-evolving ways families live.”
11

Q. What is the role of Design at Emaar MGF?
WE SHARE CORE VALUES
Emaar has a strong brand identity in Dubai and
the Company aspires to set the same standards in
India by working with the best consultants in the
field, who understand the Indian real estate
market. We are re-looking at design not only from
a point of view of the most innovative practices,
but also from the perspective of how we can help
deliver homes to people. Ultimately, we will
identify as a Company that is not just building
India but building homes for Indians.
BUILDING
THE RIGHT
PARTNERSHIPS
Q. How has the role of the Design Team changed
over the past few years?
Emaar MGF awards its contracts to
strong partners, who are committed to
jointly deliver a quality product in time.
At the centre of our partnerships lies an
appreciation for shared priorities and it
is through the pursuit of common goals
that we intend to mutually grow.
Through this period of progress for
Emaar MGF India, we intend to build
and preserve robust partnerships that
evolve with us to provide a product that
is in keeping with our international
standards.
There has been a fundamental change in our
approach to design within the Company. The
Central Design Team has been led to act as real
estate managers rather than just project
coordinators, and therefore understand design
decisions in terms of revenue and customer
satisfaction, at every step of the way. Better design
not only means greater customer satisfaction, but
it makes good business sense too. And this is
what we are driving within the Company today.
We are learning not to just be reactive to design.
Instead, each step of the design process needs to
be thought out, as this reflects in our final
product. We therefore, no longer work only with
the architects, but instead, we work closely with
all departments to understand their objectives
and translate those to give a better product and
more value to that real estate asset for Emaar
MGF.
12
“Emaar MGF is a high priority client for us.
Their approach to develop long-term relationships
with clients through unparalleled service delivery
and an uncompromising stand on ethics closely
resonates with the core values of JLL. As a result
of our global presence and expertise, JLL can
provide Emaar MGF insights about real estate
developments, new innovations and emergences in
the real estate arena, bringing international best
practices into the country.
The players that have been able to navigate the
recent tides are going to be the future champions
of Indian realty industry. Going forward, the
appropriate approach would be to continue to
strive towards improving the quality of service
delivery and gaining the confidence of the
consumer. A focus we see clearly at Emaar
MGF”.
