Anshul Jain in an Exclusive Interview with ET Now

Cushman & Wakefield released the India Office report for Q1 2021 (Jan – Mar 2021). The report highlights a 5% q-o-q increase in commercial leasing in Q1 2021 in comparison to Q4 2020. First quarter has traditionally been a slow one for the industry, but this marginal growth does reflect that the resilience of the office sector is intact, a year on from the pandemic. 2019 was a blockbuster year for commercial real estate, and interestingly, gross leasing in Q1 2021 while being 25% lower from Q1 2020, is just 5% lower from Q1 2019.
