Casagrand’s portfolio covers multiple residential formats, including apartments, villas, high-rise residencies, floor villas and large-scale residential communities. These include the 41-acre Casagrand Highcity and 40-acre Casagrand Suncity. Over more than two decades, the company has expanded beyond its Chennai base while navigating changing market conditions, shifting homebuyer preferences and increased competition.
The Hurun India recognition highlights the entrepreneurial vision and persistence behind Casagrand’s growth. Arun Mn’s stated approach has focused on mid-segment housing with a broad range of offerings, aimed at meeting the aspirations and affordability requirements of a wider pool of homebuyers.
His approach centres on developing homes that allow buyers to improve their lifestyles, establish a new address and work towards personal aspirations, while receiving value for their investment. This focus on quality and affordability has been a defining element of his business journey.
The 2026 awards also mark a decade of Hurun India and GROHE recognising leadership and achievement in Indian real estate. The event marked the return of the flagship pan-India conclave, with the 10th edition bringing together real estate entrepreneurs, developers and other industry stakeholders from across the country.
Alongside the award ceremony, the conclave featured an exclusive fireside chat with Arun Mn. The discussion covered his entrepreneurial journey and the development of Casagrand over the years, including its business strategies, people, organisational culture, values and the factors behind the company’s growth.
The recognition comes as Casagrand builds on its established presence in South India while pursuing its ambition to strengthen its footprint across the Indian real estate market.
