CDK Global India strives to provide its associates with an environment, which fosters productivity and innovation. To improve efficiencies in its office facilities, the company has attempted to follow standard systems – ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001. “We have deployed solutions to help reduce carbon footprint and lower operating costs. Use of LED motion driven lighting systems and variable air volume (VAV) type of HVAC system are some of the key measures taken.

In India, real estate is the second largest employer after agriculture and is slated to grow at 30% over the next decade. The opportunities are tremendous, according to Kaul. He says: “New government initiatives such as smart cities, GST, labour reforms, Make In India, Swachh Bharat, 24/7 malls, etc, will surely result in the enhancement of public infrastructure and improve the ease of doing business. The growing flow of FDI into the Indian real estate industry is encouraging increased transparency. Developers, in order to attract funding, have revamped their accounting and management systems to meet due diligence standards. As a corporate citizen, our social responsibility is to contribute to initiatives like Swachh Bharat Mission, Solar Net Metering and Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan),” adds Kaul.
