Known as a visionary with excellent business acumen, D.S. Kulkarni is an entrepreneur par excellence. His dynamism is reflected in the multifaceted nature of the DSK Group companies and his determination to take the organization to foreign shores. FPJ Correspondent speaks to him on various subjects.

What do you think about the market  in 2015?

The market scenario is as it is; it is kind of stagnant as it has been over a period of time, and it can only improve if the markets become robust due to certain measures that the government takes. I cannot at this point and time elaborate on the plans that need to be taken forward.

Do you feel single window system is a must and what are your expectations from the government?

Yes we shall require such a system in the true sense of the word, not something that is merely a cosmetic cut-n-paste job of the American system, but one that is well and truly in sync with the Indian ethos and which will help builders and developers and in turn the end consumer as well.

Will affordable housing be in more demand in the coming times?

That has been true since time immemorial, ever since builders started building homes and people started living in them. This is not a new phenomenon and will never be one.

It is said that there are a lot of vacant flats in the city, do you have a say on this?

All vacant flats, be it in Pune or Mumbai, or any part of the country, are simply because of the investor lobby.

Do you feel that townships are the need of time and how long a developer has to maintain it?

Since townships involve the makers giving total infrastructure like roads, water, electricity drainage, etc, it is important that they deliver what they promise, for that they need to do what we have done at DSK Dream City, you need to form your own corporation and look after all infra works yourself.

Redevelopment has no option is it do you feel so?

I would say do it with caution. If you have an old building with twenty flats, redevelop twenty only, not forty, as then it starts straining the infrastructure a great deal.

What do you do in your free time?

I love listening to Indian classical music, and being with my family.

Tell us about your hobbies?

These days, for the last two odd years, I have one and only hobby and that is spending as much quality time as I can with my grandson, Daksh. This is not just a hobby but a passion these days!

A home is your personal comfort zone, your own quiet corner in this crazy world where you can escape the pressures of modern life. A place where you can enjoy life to its fullest with your entire family. But above all a home is a feeling of belonging that no other place in the world, however luxurious, can give. At DSK, we appreciate the emotions that are attached to a home. Buying a home is an investment of a lifetime, the single most important decision that you make. And that’s why we build homes not houses!
