Realty players warm up to top business schools

Real estate developers like Lodha, DLF, Unitech and Raheja have begun ramping up their presence in B-school campuses in the past two years in a move to have a more professional image. The move coincides with the growing interest of B-school graduates in the real estate sector. The real estate firms have sold promising careers to the students by offering competitive compensation packages. They usually hire students with prior work experience so that within two years they are ready to hold fairly senior posts. Having had an experience with the Indian real estate majors, B-schools are now looking at luring foreign real estate companies. Many are looking at real estate companies based in Dubai and Singapore as potential recruiters. Some are already strengthening ties with existing players.
