Mr. Vidyanand Bedekar

First of all I would like to extend my thanks to all our CREDAI members and past presidents for showing faith in me and giving me an opportunity to work as a President for the tenure 2019-2021.

Today worldwide economy is under great pressure. The e acts are seen even in our country. Real Estate Industry is not an exception. To sustain our business even in such conditions, we as an association, are getting to make things easier and suggest some improvements so that each one of us can achieve our goals. Issues like smoothening of sanctioning procedure at KMC, gradation of size of projects and suggesting sanctioning authorities for the same, excavation issues, labour welfare, TDR allocation and utilization related issues are few things that we are working on and 1 am sure our contribution will help KMC to resolve them faster.
