FOR PRADEEP AGGARWAL, Founder-Chairman of Signature Global (India), good corporate governance is not just about complying with rules and stating the said compliance in officialese in the annual report. Aggarwal is a stickler for corporate governance as he knows it defines success in any field—including the fields of the then Gurgaon’s Sector 107 in 2014.
That was where (and when) Aggarwal, after two decades in the stock markets, put together a crack team to enter the real estate business as the government pushed the concept of affordable housing.
Aggarwal announced his first housing project in 2014, and investors and buyers lapped it up. The project was oversubscribed three times. The prices clicked (up to ₹25 lakh for 1BHK and 2BHK apartments, unbelievably affordable even then). The delivery schedule clicked (announced in 2014 and delivered in 2018). Construction quality clicked.
