Interview with one of the Young Businessmen from South India - Varun Manian
Radiance Realty is a renowned and a successful realty venture that is managed by the young and dynamic entrepreneur, Varun Manian.  Radiance Realty is based out of Chennai and is spreading its wings fast down south in India and abroad. The Manian family is at the heart of Radiance Realty. In 1949 they established NAPC, a leading construction company in Chennai, India and the Middle East. In 2012, NAPC Properties evolved to become Radiance Realty Developers India Ltd. 
Tumblr media
Radiance Realty is Varun’s brainchild. He proudly says, “The real estate business is completely my baby. I am passionate about it and believe being a local player is a massive advantage. Look at a huge company like DLF – they still make most of their profits out of Gurgaon but when they come to Chennai, the going gets very tough for them, because they don’t have the local knowledge that is so vital in this business. Also the fact that we are an old, well-respected family has proved to be a huge advantage for us to be in this space. And you know the other big advantage we have in real estate – that made us dive into it – is that we’ve been a construction company our whole life; building is in our DNA – it is a great skill that we have.”
They might be new players in the realty business – a small fish in an ocean of whales, but Varun is confident. “I believe we are well known. Buyers have confidence in us as a family. They know that we will do it; that’s one victory for us,” he beams. Nevertheless, he is realistic about the challenges of the market. “The brand ‘Radiance’ is new and for us to compete with brands that have been around for 30-40 years is quite a task. They have a lot of repeat customers, and huge databases so we are probably a little bit behind on that front but we are aware of it and are very confident of catching up too.”
