Real Estate Technology
It goes without saying that with the advancement of technology, every aspect of living for every living being has drastically changed. And the hypothesis here is that such advancement has led to various sectors adapting to enhance their methods of business. This stands true for one of the largest industries in the world – Real estate. We at Protech have recognized this trend when we made ‘progressive technology’ as our idea behind our brand name. The name “Protech” is curated from the two powerful words – Progress and Technology. These two words have guided us to a continuing commitment to uphold excellent standards of design, construction, quality, and customer service.
At Protech Group, we are dedicated to using the latest technology to not only provide newer features and amenities but also to understand our homebuyers in terms of what they need to lead a comfortable life and a lavish lifestyle. We always try to introduce newer technology and design ideas in each of our residential apartments project in Guwahati.
List of New Amenities & Features
Here is a list of the new features/amenities in our new residential projects in Guwahati that we have added to give our clients a better living experience.
Protrusion Free Walls
A feature designed thoughtfully by our team for our residential projects. Our architect has designed these apartments keeping in mind proper use of column-free inside spaces for thoughtful furniture set up. Now our residents can easily set up their furniture without any complicated measurements for a perfect fit.
Landscaped Garden and Patio Gazebo
These are the two new features that we have added to all our new residential projects in Guwahati. At Protech, we understand the importance of open space and greenery. We maintain a high ratio for open space and those open spaces are intelligently converted into landscaped gardens with patio gazeboes. The idea has found acceptance among our homeowners to have a fruitful community living experience. Spending some time every day in the lap of nature can help people improve their mental health. It can increase one’s productivity by improving their confidence and concentration level. In simple words, more green spaces indicate better psychological health.
Swimming Pool with deck and party area:
This is another feature, which we have added to all of our new residential projects at Guwahati. A deck and a party area connecting the swimming pool is much appreciated by the prospective homeowners. The utility value of the swimming pool in terms of relaxation after a hard day’s work increases with the deck being there. With the party area and the community hall having a connection with the swimming pool increases the convenience of gated community living a step further.
Multi-Purpose Clubhouse
A clubhouse has become an important requirement for apartments in Guwahati. It makes the residential complex self-sufficient in terms of all the amenities that a family requires for healthy, active and social living. So keeping that in mind we have added a multipurpose clubhouse in our new projects with a reading space, indoor games and an exclusive 24×7 Gymnasium.
Garbage Segregation- Separate Wet & Dry Bins
Waste disposal is increasingly becoming a grave concern, especially in urban areas. With a high density of population, a city can only be healthy with an efficient waste disposal infrastructure. At Protech, we have decided to do our part and take responsibility in terms of segregating wet and dry waste using separate allotted waste bins at our residential projects.
Apart from these, we have designed isolation rooms for our residents in one of our premium projects in Kahilipara – Protech Prime. The resident who is Covid+ or travels from another state/country can isolate themselves there.

Monsoon season in India is around the corner. And we are ready to welcome the rains with open arms as it provide us relief from the sweltering summer heat. But with this, it also brings inconvenience like humidity, seepage, sewage blocks and other problems to our homes. So along with preparing yourself for this monsoon make your home monsoon ready too. Here is a list of monsoon tips that will come in handy in rainproofing your home. You don’t have to be an expert or professional to bring these changes, these simple tips can be followed by anyone to make their home monsoon ready.
6 tips to make your home monsoon ready
1. Fix the Wiring System:
If there are any open or unattended electrical wires in the house, then fix them on a priority basis. During the rainy season, there is a risk of short circuit from such open wiring. It becomes all the more important to fix them if there are small children at home.
2. Relocate the plants:
While some of the plants in your garden might be strong enough to brave the monsoon wind and rain, it might prove fatal for others. Check your plants and relocate them if required to spots where they continue to flourish.
3. Protect your balcony and windows:
During a torrential downpour, you need to protect your home against flooding caused by water coming into your home through the balcony or windows. Cover them with sunshades or awnings that prevent water from splashing into the house. Choose a durable material for the canopies so that you won’t need to replace it every year.
4. Protect your furniture against moisture:
Wooden things in the house tend to react adversely to humidity and moisture, which are typical of the rainy season. Aside from making your precious articles of furniture lose their shape and form, these conditions would also make them vulnerable to termites and pests.
To protect furniture against humidity and moisture:
- Apply a fresh coat of varnish/lacquer to prevent the wood from swelling.
- Keep wooden furniture some inches away from the wall.
- Buy a humidifier to keep the temperature and dampness in check.
- Do not clean the furniture with a wet cloth.
5. Check the Drainage System:
Get the drainage system checked for a carefree monsoon season. Clogged drains can be a bigger issue during the monsoons. Drain clogging can increase the chances of water overflowing into the house. While they can smell real foul to turn you off, they can also be a breeding ground of insects and mosquitoes posing a danger to your health.
6. Rainproof the open spaces:
If you have a terrace or an open balcony, we should think about protecting it with a temporary or permanent shade from above. It will not only save your outdoor furniture and landscaping but also present a beautiful place for enjoying the cool breeze when it isn’t raining.
Also, it is important to ensure that the rainwater drains smoothly. The first step towards waterproofing your roof/terrace would be to make sure it is clean and that water does not accumulate anywhere when it rains.
A few quick tips:
- Refurbish small pieces of furniture with a fresh coat of paint, or with vibrant wallpaper.
- Use bright colours for the upholstery or furnishings, to overcome the gloomy atmosphere outside.
- Do not leave drenched clothes unattended for a long time.
- Only dry-clean things during the monsoon.
Follow these tips and tricks to make your home ready for this monsoon.

Juhu is a popular neighbourhood in Mumbai where famous celebrities have their luxurious homes standing tall. You can easily come across magnificent bungalows and lavish apartments with gorgeous gardens and luxury amenities leaving anyone passing them in awe. However, action director Rohit Shetty took a step further and purchased an entire building with 10 storeys! Now, isn’t that a catch?
Reports suggest that Rohit Shetty and his family have moved into the top two floors of the 10-storey building. Named, “Shetty Tower”, Rohit Shetty’s Mumbai home is said to be Rohit Shetty’s dream home. The “Golmaal” director had been thinking of building property at one of Mumbai’s prime locations for 11 years and with his hard work and dedication, the result has finally paid off.

This one is his new home and he is living there with his mother, Ratna, wife, Maya and son, Ishaan.”

The Indian real estate market is one of the pillars of the nation’s economy. After agriculture, it is the real estate that generates maximum employment opportunities for its citizens. In fact, some of the biggies of the Indian economy are well-known from this industry.
With the outbreak of Covid-19, the market did see a negative impact on the real estate market. Amid the pandemic across the globe, the market did witness a huge loss. This gave way to other industries mark their territories in their respective industries. The Indian real estate saw an unexpected low growth between the months of October and December 2020. But interestingly, there happened to be a slight growth by the start of the year 2021.
So, is it really wise to invest in the real estate market in 2021?
This probably is a question ticking your mind because of the uncertainties being experienced by people at present due to the pandemic. Among the several major cities in India, a few including Ahmedabad and Hyderabad saw a fortunate 5% annual growth. But the factors, as studies suggest, may have been due to prices of properties already being on the lower side.
According to the Knight Frank India, “71,963 units were sold during Q1 2021, 44 per cent more than in Q1 2020. This healthy growth in sales also encouraged developers to launch new projects which are reflected in the 76,006 units launched during the quarter, substantial growth of 38 per cent .” It further stated, “Sales of residential properties across eight major cities grew 44 per cent in the January-March period this year to nearly 72,000 units as demand recovered.” This promises the year 2021 with great potential for real estate investment in India for both commercial and residential properties.
What May Change in Real Estate Investment in 2021?
Covid-19 was a huge blow among people in the year 2020. With people social distancing, staying indoors and adapting the Work From Home culture, the spike in cases started to come in control. This gave hope to most of the citizens for the year 2021. In fact, the controlled cases also slowly started to improve the fallen economic condition of the country. But, the second wave of Covid-19 in 2021 has hit us no lesser than a tsunami. The increase in cases has again forced the country to close down, resulting in several markets see a huge drop in profits. This may lead to the commercial real estate market not gain maximum profits and instead, hit a low. But, that may not be the case with residential property investments.
Investment in properties may continue, but it will be crucial for developers and real estate experts to understand consumer behaviour from now onwards. The high importance of living in a hygienic and facilitated residential society will go up. People will want to invest in residential societies that are and will put in their 110 per cent effort to create a safe environment for their residents. Additionally, with Work From Home becoming a common norm for most parts of the country, investors may look for spaces with dedicated office spaces or maybe a residence amidst commercial hubs.
Other factors post-Covid-19 pandemic that can influence the process of investing in Indian real estate include:
- Medical institutions: If Covid-19 has taught one lesson to people, it is the importance of receiving immediate medical assistance in case of certain illness. Hence, the new investors, be it for residential or commercial properties, investors may demand for medical institutions to be in their vicinity. Those to reside with their family members will not wish to take any chances of travelling for hours, bearing the traffic to receive any medical support in the future.
- On-premise facilities: A maximum number of world-class residential properties do offer dozens of facilities to their residents. This can include 24×7 security and electricity to exceptional in-built amenities in the homes. What more would be required, you ask? While luxury amenities will always be in demand for comfortable living, there may also increase the demand for on-site office spaces, 24×7 medical support and mandatory transportation facilities in case of an emergency.
- Quarantine Support: The invention of Covid-19 vaccinations has given a huge relief to citizens. But, how sure can we be that there won’t be any such unfortunate disease to hit humankind again? Hence, people will want to remain prepared and not take any risks. With medical facilities falling short at the time of need, some investors may be on the lookout for properties with complete medical facilities, including quarantine support. Several properties have started the addition of quarantine rooms in case of emergencies for its residents such as Protech Prime and it will not be a surprise to see a few more in the coming years in many residential societies.
Conclusion
The years 2020 and 2021 have been a rollercoaster for everyone. People are fighting and lending their helping hand to eliminate the Covid-19 outbreak together. There is an ongoing financial crisis with many due to unemployment and ups and downs in building a strong immunity to fight the virus. However, improved buyer sentiment due to growing or at least zero decline in profits in certain markets has been giving hope. Housing demands have remained strong and people are setting off to invest in properties for a better tomorrow. With cautious steps and study of the market daily, real estate investment can be on the lookout for positive opportunities in the Indian real estate market of 2021.
