India continues to hold its position as the world’s

fastest growing economy and there has been a lot

of welcoming trends in the recent past that are

steadily improving the real estate fundamentals

in the country. RERA gave the Indian real estate

industry its first regulator. It is a welcoming move

which will certainly benefit both the developers

and buyers. Along came GST as a sentiment

booster for the industry that aims in bringing

more transparency in taxation. There has been

an increased consolidation and transparency in

the realty space and the launch of REITs (Real

Estate Investment Trusts) this year - will further

whet the ever-booming real estate industry. We

will also witness increasing Global capital flow

into this sector. Embassy has also been growing

simultaneously and it has been a great year for us.

Embarking on a journey to bring about better

public infrastructure in the city, we strengthened

our commitment further by signing an MOU with

BMRCL to build the Kadubeesanahalli metro station

with an investment of Rs.100 crores.

Embassy has been recognised by various

institutions for its excellence. Our upcoming

residential project, Embassy Lake Terraces received

the CNBC Awaaz Real Estate Awards 2017 for the

best residential project in the ultra-luxury segment.

CMO National Awards for Excellence in Real Estate

and Infrastructure conferred the Environment

Friendly Project of the Year to Embassy Pristine

while Embassy One was awarded Luxury Project

of the Year. Embassy Grove was also conferred the

Residential Development India award in the Indian

category at the Asia Pacific International Property

A Year of Significant Accomplishments for the Embassy

2017 is turning out to be another great one for the

Embassy. Of the many exciting events relating

to Embassy Office Parks, three stand out in the

first quarter of the fiscal year. First, we hosted a

number of great events around two anchor dates

in our calendar - World Environment Day, and

International Women’s Day. Second, we became the

first and only IGBC (India Green Building Council)

certified office park in India and third, we signed a

long range MoU with the BMRCL (Bangalore Metro

Rail Corporation) to enhance public transportation

provision to our Embassy TechVillage in Bangalore.

At a macro level, economic indicators continue to

be positive with strong GDP growth and, despite

concerns expressed in the media around AI,

NASSCOM continues to project an 8-12% growth by

2020. The short term challenges of GST transition

are behind us which will see a broader tax base and

a more transparent supply chain in all industries.

In the backdrop of this growth, regulatory changes,

and enhanced quality aspirations, businesses

continue to transition towards consolidations of

their smaller and fragmented facilities to occupy

largely integrated office parks. As this trend

catches continues, occupiers prefer integrated

office spaces with complete set of amenities and

infrastructure to support their business ecosystem

Our own business indicators are showing the top of

the charts performance. With over 95% occupancy

almost doubled the number of tenants in Embassy

Office Parks and Embassy properties are now

home to over 175 of the best Indian and global

corporations.

First ever IGBC Platinum certified office park in India

We are proud to announce that Embassy

TechVillage and Embassy Manyata Business Park

have received the prestigious Platinum Green

Campus certification, the highest green building

rating by Indian Green Building Council (IGBC),

part of the Confederation of Indian Industry. The

certification was awarded at the World Environment

Day celebration recently. This has made us India’s

first and only IGBC platinum certified business

parks.

As part of our responsible corporate citizenship

initiatives, we have joined hands with The Ugly

Indians for a clean and green drive. This initiative

involves more than 15 corporate occupiers across

our business parks. More than 500 park users

from Embassy Manyata Business Park, Embassy

GolfLinks and Embassy TechVillage along with

Embassy employees are part of the initiative which

involves clean ups and painting of public spaces

around our parks

Partnership with Bangalore Metro

Another first for the city of Bengaluru was the

execution of an MOU involving a capital contribution

and partnership with the authorities responsible for

the next phase of the MOU. Embassy is the first

private sector developer to have signed such an

MOU, testament to the Embassy’s innovation and

active concern for the broader community.

Embassy signed a Memorandum of Understanding

(MoU) with Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation

Ltd (BMRCL). relating to the construction of the

Kadubeesanahalli Metro Station with a contribution

of Rs 100 crore from Embassy. This metro station

will be constructed on the 17-km stretch of North-

South metro corridor on Outer Ring Road. We’ll also

take care of the maintenance and housekeeping as

per specifications of the corporation.

At the time of writing, Embassy’s forward thinking

actions have encouraged a number of other major

developers along the Outer Ring Road to come

forward and discuss a similar approach. Coming

shortly after Embassy’s opening of the Manyata

Skywalk, 100% funded by Embassy, and supporting

20,000 pedestrian movements a day, Embassy

continues to lead the way, and play its part in

infrastructure and community building in India’s

fronts. We hope to capitalize on our early gains in

the coming quarters and make our park occupiers

happier than ever.

NEWS/ FEATURES

In a step towards developing Bangalore’s

infrastructure, Embassy recently signed a

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL).

The MoU has been signed to construct the

Kadubeesanahalli Metro Station. This metro station

will be constructed on the 17-km stretch of North-

South metro corridor on Outer Ring Road.

We have agreed to invest Rs. 100 crores in the

project and will hold the concession rights for

a period of 30 years. The construction will be

completed in about 3 years time. We’ll also take

care of the maintenance and housekeeping as per

specifications of the corporation.

We have also secured a few privileges by signing

the MoU. Embassy TechVillage users will have a

direct ramp access to the metro station. Embassy

will be entitled to utilize the pre-determined spaces

for advertisements. We can also use the leasable

retail space measuring approximately 3000 sq.ft. at

the metro station, and will also have the advantage

of leveraging the linear zone of 250 m around the

Kadubeesanahalli metro station.

The new metro line will run between Central Silk

Board in the south and K R Puram in the north.

The Rs.4202 crores project is being taken up

under Phase 2A of the Namma Metro network and

will have 13 stations covering the entire ORR IT

Corridor. The project is to be completed in 3 years

and will benefit nearly 4.5 lakh people who work on

this stretch and the ridership will eventually grow

to 6 lakh every day.

It is a matter of great pride to be associated with

the Namma Metro project and BMRCL. This is an

immensely positive step taken by the government

which involves corporates in improving the

infrastructure and transportation system in the

city. We’ll support the government in every way to

help develop city infrastructure.

We strongly believe that this step will encourage

corporates to come forward and contribute

towards the development of quality infrastructure

in the city and eventually pave the way towards

smart cities and well-equipped modern cities. We

will continuously work with the local authorities

to resolve infrastructure issues, cleanliness and

maintenance issues, implementation of effective

traffic management that involves deploying our

guards to support the traffic police in optimal traffic

movement, carpooling programs in partnership

with the Bangalore traffic police, and so on.

As a welcome move for working mothers, the Lok

Sabha passed an amendment to the Maternity Bill

that extends maternity benefits from 12 weeks to

26 weeks for all new mothers. Adoptive mothers,

surrogate mothers, and commissioned mothers

can also benefit from this amendment.

The Bill stipulates that companies with 50 or more

employees must have an individual or shared

crèche facility. This crèche facility can be available

onsite or a recommended distance where the

mother can feed her baby at least 4 times in a day.

It’s imperative that the child care facilities are well-

maintained, well-lit, and well-ventilated to ensure

optimum health of children. Onsite medical kits,

sterilization facilities, hygienic changing stations,

and trained caregivers, are stipulated as minimum

requirements for day cares.

That’s why at Embassy, we have taken the initiative

to provide the best care for employees’ children

in our business parks by joining hands with the

leading preschool of the country - Klay Schools.

They are India’s largest premium Corporate

Daycare service provider operating in over 7 cities

including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Guntur,

Pune, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR. KLAY has 76 centers in

these cities and over 3300 children in their care.

Klay is committed to representing the best

childcare solution to serve the baby, the mother

and the employer.

Therefore, we have signed a Memorandum of

Understanding with Klay Schools and we have

already been met with positive responses from the

companies. We are now enabling companies to

meet this statutory requirement by opening day

care centers in all our business parks. The Embassy

TechZone facility opened on the 23rd of June and

other facilities will be up and running in the next

few months.

At Embassy, we make sure that our tenants have

access to all state-of-the-art facilities so that the

companies as well as the employees can work

efficiently. This MoU is another step towards

achieving that goal.

Embassy TechZone have received a five-star rating

in the Five Star Occupational Health and Safety

Audit conducted by the British Safety Council. Our

facilities underwent a detailed, quantitative, and

objective evaluation of our occupational health

and safety management systems.

In this audit, our performance was measured

against several key safety management indicators

and has achieved the highest rating on all the

organizations with a worldwide benchmark of their

The benefits of incorporating yoga in everyday

life isn’t an unknown fact and that’s why Embassy

Office Parks took the initiative to organize a yoga

workshop in association with Art Of Living on the

third year of International Day of Yoga on June 21st

across three of our Embassy Office Parks.

Yoga isn’t just about burning calories or toning your

muscles. It’s a complete and comprehensive body

and mind workout that combines strengthening

and stretching poses with deep breathing and

meditation. With the current sedentary lifestyle

that most people live, it has become a necessity

to incorporate yoga in our lives. Keeping this in

mind, we organized this event for the employees

across our office parks and it was met with great

enthusiasm.The workshop saw close to 150+ yoga

enthusiasts participating.

An international day for yoga was declared

unanimously by the United Nations General

Assembly (UNGA). The idea of International Day

of Yoga was proposed by Prime Minister of India,

Mr. Narendra Modi, following which many leaders

supported the proposition and the first International

Day of Yoga was observed all over the world on 21

June 2015.

We joined hands with Art Of Living members

who contributed in making this event a grand

healthy lifestyle.

Marking our commitment towards sustainability

and environmental preservation, the Embassy

Office Parks and the Embassy Services team

hosted a series of activities commemorating World

Environment Day (WED) on June 5th. Our occupiers

contributed towards sustaining the environment

Cyclothon.

These events were organized for our occupiers,

giving them an opportunity to ‘Connect With

Nature’ in accordance with this year’s UN theme

and saw a participation of over 1200.

Embassy Hosted a ‘Clean & Green’ Initiative on World Environment Day

In addition, we hosted a Clean & Green initiative

in which employees from various companies in

the Embassy Manyata Business Park took part in

cleanup of the area around the Nagawara flyover

and planted saplings. They also painted walls of the

service road near the office park and planted trees.

We carried out similar activities in and around

the areas of Embassy GolfLinks and Embassy

TechVillage.

We teamed up with The Ugly Indians, a group

of motivated anonymous volunteers who clean

streets and turn ugly spots in the city into the most

beautiful ones through a unique method called

“SpotFixing”. We engaged with our corporate

occupiers to bring about a positive change around

the parks, harnessing individual actions for the

collective good of not just the people who visited

the park but also the neighbourhood.

Our initiative was directed towards creating

awareness through engagement and action

to enhance our physical environment across

communities. We have been actively organizing

many such initiatives around Bangalore, which

enable partner companies in the business parks

to execute their responsibilities towards the

environment by taking part in these transformative

community initiatives.

It is an exciting time for real estate buyers. The path

breaking RERA Act (Real Estate Regulation and

Development) has been passed by the Parliament

and Karnataka has been one of the first states to

implement it.The Act aims to reform the real estate

sector in India, encouraging greater transparency,

citizen centricity, accountability and financial

discipline - All the things we value here in Embassy.

RERA is timely as India’s economy is growing and

investor’s appetite for real estate investment is

also moving northwards. This Act gives, especially,

home buyers protection by ensuring fair play and

clarity. We believe RERA will usher in a new era in

Indian real estate scene and will energize the Real

Estate sector.

Embassy has always valued relationships with our

customers and our partners. We believe that a

happy property owner and resident and a happy

channel partner reflect the inherent promise we

Conquered the Rough

Miles... Many More Miles to

Go Forward!

It is a moment of great pride and a feeling of

accomplishment to announce that ESPL has had a

landmark quarter. Our years of hard work towards

becoming a more process oriented organization

culminated in us achieving two significant industry

standard recognitions - a first for multi-tenanted

business parks in India.

First, a first-ever Platinum certification from the

Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) for Embassy

Manyata and Embassy TechVillage. This has made

us India’s first IGBC platinum certified business

parks.

Second, 5-Star ratings from the British Safety

Council for Embassy Manyata, Embassy TechVillage

and Embassy TechZone.

These are huge accomplishments for the entire

group and everyone associated with it. I believe

that these certifications, in addition to our

IMS certifications (ISO 9001, 14001 & 18001),

comprehensively validate our commitment to our

customers -end to end operational excellence.

Be it processes, upholding green standards, or

maintaining security, we run a tight operational

ship that enables our clients to focus on their core

business.

We’re pleased to announce that Embassy has

received five-star grading in our Five Star

Occupational Health and Safety Audit conducted

by the British Council. Our facilities - EMBP,

Embassy TechVillage and Embassy TechZone

Pune underwent a detailed, quantitative, and

objective evaluation of our occupational health and

safety management system. With this rating, ESPL

became the first multi-tenanted PM company to

receive the certification in India.

In this audit, our performance was measured against

several key safety management indicators and has

achieved the highest rating on all the parameters.

This is a huge achievement for the group because

The British Safety Council’s Five Star Occupational

Health and Safety Audit provides organizations

with a worldwide benchmark of their safety

management systems against the current best

practice to enable continual improvement.

A Rigorous audit was conducted on a

comprehensive set of safety issues ranging from

a number of line items from people, process, and

technology perspective. Sections for evaluation

included- policy and structures, Strategic planning,

Implementation and Operations, Performance

Evaluation, Management review and improvement.

The Audit specification was revised in 2013

to include performance measurements in two

additional safety management indicators -

Leadership and Continuous Improvement, which

is continually assessed, alongside other indicators,

throughout the audit process.

In the revised audit, the British Safety Council has

placed a greater emphasis on the organization’s

approach to occupational health, employee well-

being, safety culture, allocation of resources to

health and safety and planning for change; all of

which are considered significant best practice

factors.

By achieving this certification we have set a

benchmark for ourselves and others. We hope to

continue dedicated efforts in the future as well to

accomplish more honors.

Right in the first quarter of the year, our two large

ventures- Embassy TechVillage and Embassy

Manyata Business Park have received the

prestigious Platinum Green Campus certification,

the highest green building rating by Indian Green

Building Council (IGBC), part of Confederation

of Indian Industry at the World Environment Day

celebration. This has made us India’s first IGBC

platinum certified business parks.

Both business parks have incorporated the best

practices that make them the finest green buildings.

These features include - sustainable transportation,

water conservation, energy management, and

waste management. We have always promoted

green buildings and other green initiatives like

cycles for an intra-park commute, carpooling, and

other initiatives that support sustainable growth

and will continue to do so in the future. Our efforts

have set a benchmark across business campuses in

the country encouraging them to go green.

We are proud to forge a partnership with IGBC

on the green pursuits and look forward to their

continuous support. We support IGBC’s vision to

enable the sustainably-built environment for all and

Embassy TechVillage and Embassy Manyata Business Park Honored with the Prestigious IGBC Certification

make India the global leader in the sustainably-built

environment by 2025.

The Platinum rating is the highest rating any

organization can achieve and it has enabled

Embassy Office Parks to address the compelling

issues like water efficiency, fuel efficiency, energy

efficiency, and conserving natural resources for the

happiness and well-being of one and all.

Most importantly, these concepts enhance

occupant health, happiness, and well-being. In the

green project, basic amenities within the campus

to reduce the negative impacts of automobile

use has been incorporated. Further, outdoor and

indoor sports facilities are offered to the occupants.

Designated parking and toilets for differently abled

are provided near the entry of all main buildings.

Our Team was awarded the plaque for the

achievement on World Environment Day in each of

the park and that makes it even more special for us.

We hope to keep up the good work in the future

and receive many more laurels to keep ourselves

and others inspired.

In the M2 design class, our task was to make a 3D

model that would represent any culture or any

country. We could use any software like Tinkercad,

or 123D Design to prepare the model. Some

students even used paper to make their 3D models.

Some students wanted to represent countries by

using monuments like the Eiffel Tower or the Taj

Mahal. My friend and I made a combination of two

monuments - Taj Mahal and the Chichen Itza.

I chose Taj Mahal because it is the place where my

friend and I met and became friends. The purpose

of using the Chichen Itza was to show Mexico,

where my friend comes from. I wanted to make this

model so I could cherish both these memories.

The D2 class of 2017 celebrated their graduation at

a lovely ceremony held on a beautifully decorated

outdoor stage in our own campus. The ceremony

featured a message by Stonehill’s founder, Mr. Jitu

Virwani, Chairman of Embassy, who also presented

Lending a Helping Hand to Champion the Cause of Education

The road to development begins with quality

education. At Embassy, we aim to create an

educational environment at government schools

that were safe, clean, and conducive to learning.

Currently, there are extremely few government

schools equipped with facilities beneficial to a

child’s growth - this is why we have taken on the

onus to create the right environment for them.

Whether it’s providing them with starter kits or

contributing basic amenities, we have made it our

purpose to do the best we can. A clean climate

breeds a better individual. With this belief in mind,

much of this quarter was spent preparing the

government schools we have adopted for the new

academic year. This included conducting repairs

and renovations, as well as deep cleaning that

enhances the daily experience for each child and

provides them with functioning spaces.

Throughout the month

of June, Embassy Senior

Management teams

were actively involved in

distributing new starter kits

that included a backpack,

uniforms, shoes, books,

and stationery to the 4000

students whom we support.

SHAINA GANAPATHYExecutive General Manager

Editor’s Note

This quarter was also spent developing relationships

with our Corporate Tenants, who actively

supported our initiatives. We joined hands to build,

clean-up and beautify government schools, as well

as take ownership of our immediate surroundings.

With palpable enthusiasm, each person worked to

ensure a better educational future for the children.

We hope to continue championing collaborating

with other Corporates and cultivating a culture of

social responsibility within our organization with

the goal of impacting more students at government

schools and providing basic amenities to our

neighborhoods. The support from our corporate

tenants was commendable and we will continue to

work towards creating a brighter future for each

child.

| Issue 13

NEWS/ FEATURES

Encouraging children to educate themselves is the

way to secure a better future for the country and

we work towards making that possible. Here are

two key initiatives taken in this direction:

1. Distribution of Starter Kits @ Government Schools

At Embassy, we aim to create an environment

that inculcates learning, which starts with ensuring

that children have the basic amenities required

to succeed in school. The starter kit we distribute

includes a school bag, uniforms, shoes, books, and

stationary. The Embassy Senior Management Team

is actively involved in attending these distributions

and interacting with the children. In addition, due

to the close relationship between SIS & SGHPS,

parents of our Stonehill International School raised

funds to support the distribution of the starter kits

at Stonehill Government School. The following SMT

attended the events:

1. Gopinath AT, Director of Corporate Finance attended SGHPS distribution

2. Rajesh Kaimal, Chief Financial Officer attended Cox Town distribution

3. BS Narayanan, President Land Acquisition

Education

4. Silva Storai, Director of Embassy Riding School

5. Ramesh Menon, Advisor - Risk Governance

6. Alex Susai, Head - Corporate Solutions

2. Readying Schools for the New Academic Year

Embassy likes to ensure that all the schools it adopts

have a clean and safe environment for students to

thrive. As such, we engage in various activities to

create and maintain these schools, including repair

& renovation and deep cleaning.

During the summer, a walkthrough is performed

along with the HM of each school, and areas of

improvement are listed. The requests vary from

functioning toilets, repair of classrooms, playground

fixes to added amenities for the children. Preference

is given to the repairs that would enhance the

daily experience of each child and provide a safe,

useful space. This year, Embassy sponsored repair

of classrooms, toilets, play area, drainage fixes,

compound walls and roofs, as well as the painting

of the interior and overall exterior of our schools

and the build of a sump tank.

| Issue 13

Providing basic amenities and infrastructural help

to the communities around our workplace remains

a key mission of Embassys Community Outreach

Programs. The public-private partnership is a key

means to achieve such a goal and we are glad to

share two key achievements in which we were able

to partner with the government.

1. Corporate Connect with Bangalore Development Minister

Mr. KJ George, Honorable Bangalore Development

Minister, provided an opportunity for park users to

share feedback on how to develop Bangalore. Along

with Mr. KJ George, this esteemed panel included

the BBMP Commissioner, BDA Commissioner, Shri.

Priyank Kharge - IT, BT & Tourism Minister, Mike

Holland - Embassy Office Parks CEO, and Rajesh

Bajaj - Liasioning Head, Embassy. With more than

150 park occupiers in attendance, a lively discussion

over 2 hours emerged amongst citizens. This

event allowed an open dialogue of how citizens

and corporates, along with the Government,

can maintain our cities and help alleviate various

problems such as traffic, waste management,

infrastructure, ease of transportation and more.

2. Signing the Metro MoU

Sustainable Infrastructure

As we strive to promote Public - Private partnerships,

Embassy signed an MOU with the BMRCL for

the construction of the Kadubeesanahalli Metro

Station, just outside Embassy TechVillage on the

17km long recently approved North-South metro

corridor on Outer Ring Road. This adds another

project to our list of ever-growing public amenities

that both park users and the general public will

greatly benefit from.

For more details on the MOU signing, please refer

to Commercial Section

Twice a year, our Services teams visit the schools

along with their vendor partners and perform a

deep cleaning of classrooms, roofs, toilets and

the outside premises. In the month of May, all 14

Government Schools supported by Embassy were

deep cleaned and readied for the start of the

academic year.

3. Onward Bound

Beyond providing basic amenities and holistic

educational programs, Embassy along with

Colours of Life, finds ways to incentivize students

and support them in their journey to become

employable. As part of the annual scholarships

program, 61 students from the Featherlite Govt.

High School, Higher Primary School - Pottery town

and Govt High School - Cox town were awarded

cash prizes based on their class 10 board exams.

COLA (Colours of Life Academy) ID cards were

also handed over to the students. COLA launched

in collaboration with LXL - ideas (the Life Skill’s

Partner of Colours of Life) to support students

after they leave school by mentoring, counselling

and rendering guidance and support in their choice

of careers.

Colours of Life and Embassy have sponsored the

college education of many such graduates through

the years. One of them, Ameer Pasha, an ex-student

of Cox Town pursuing his civil Engineering course

was invited to speak to the students to inspire

them to pursue higher aspirations. Providing such

a platform, allows us to continue to engage these

students beyond their schooling years at our

Government Schools.

Our goal is to provide opportunities for our various

stakeholders, including Embassy employees,

Corporate occupiers, Residential Associations and

partners to engage and better the neighborhoods

around where we work and live. As part of this

endeavor, multiple events and new collaborations

were created this past quarter that spanned both

Educational and Environmental themes.

1. Nvidia graphics Private Ltd Government School Beautification

We collaborated with Nvidia and The Ugly

Indian to initiate a Community Outreach Activity,

which made significant transformation to two

government schools at Hegde Nagar that support

1200 students. Over 250 Nvidia employees took

charge as volunteers and involved themselves in

cleaning the school premises, painting murals and

sprucing up both the schools - resulting in a cleaner

and friendlier atmosphere. etc.

Embassy has adopted these two government

schools for a period of five years and we will

oversee the execution of holistic programs, annual

maintenance of the school and find ways to provide

amenities that enrich the student experience. for

Community Engagement

Another Corporate supplementing our efforts

created an opportunity that allowed the impact of

our efforts to manifest even more.

2. Government School Build with Swiss Re

We partnered with the philanthropic arm of

Swiss Re, the eminent reinsurer firm, as well the

North Bangalore Round Table Trust with the goal

to develop and nurture Government Schools

in and around Bangalore. This partnership will

see Embassy working with Swiss Re and Round

Table in the construction and extension to the

existing Government Model Primary Girls School

in Devanahalli. The first phase of construction

was completed independently by Swiss Re in

2016. Last year, in collaboration with an Embassy

partner, Kitab Korner, Swiss Re setup the library

and reading program at the school. Embassy will

provide support through project management and

infrastructural expertise to oversee the design and

project management activities end to end. Once the

remaining construction is complete, both partners

will work together to provide several holistic

and innovative educational programs which will

positively impact the 212 students enrolled at this

school.
