AN INDUSTRY THINKTANK FOR REAL ESTATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE

We see what you miss.

Every market is a million small signals. Most organisations hear noise. IRIS reads the pattern — markets, land, policy, demand, capital, risk — and turns it into decisions you can underwrite.

The noise — thousands of unconnected data points
THE STATE OF THE INDUSTRY

The loudest decade in real estate will also be its most unforgiving.

More capital, more projects and more scrutiny than the industry has ever carried — read the three numbers that define the decade.

USD 0–10 Tn

The prize. Projected size of Indian real estate by 2047 — 14–20% of GDP.

CII & Colliers · Real Estate at 2047
0%

The reality. Of 16,000+ major projects studied, this many hit both cost and time targets.

Flyvbjerg & Gardner · Oxford project database, 2023
0 Mn

The shortage. Additional project professionals needed globally by 2035.

PMI · Global Project Management Talent Gap, 2025

The industry is expanding faster than its ability to deliver. The gap is not opportunity. The gap is capability.

HOW IRIS THINKS

The market does not reward the loudest data. It rewards whoever read the quiet data first.

The IRIS operating premise

THE METHOD

Every signal, read through three lenses at once.

A delay on site is IRR erosion in a fund model. A policy shift is a product decision. Nothing in this industry means one thing — so IRIS reads everything three ways, simultaneously.

Lens 01 · Capital

The Investor

How money sees your project. Capital stack, IRR, DSCR triggers, exit pathways, residual land value. The numbers that decide whether your project happens at all.

Capital stack IRR DSCR Exit Yield
Lens 02 · Strategy

The Developer

How strategy creates value. Product mix, pricing power, launch sequencing, approvals risk, brand and absorption. The decisions that turn land into a business.

Product Pricing Approvals Launch Brand
Lens 03 · Execution

The Contractor

How execution protects value. Schedule forensics, earned value, working capital, claims defense, recovery economics. The disciplines that stop margin from leaking.

EVM SPI/CPI Cashflow Claims Safety

Most leaders master one lens. Boardrooms reward those who hold all three.

Sachin Amarnath, Founder and Chief Mentor, IRIS
THE PROOF · FOUNDER AND CHIEF MENTOR

The industry already trusts him with its own teams.

Sachin Amarnath — capability expert, management consultant and transformation architect. Godrej Properties runs its slab-cycle and MEPF capability programs through him. DLF made him its technical training partner. L&T and ISRO put their senior engineers and scientists in his room. IRIS is that practice, institutionalised.
