Job description

We are Gera Developments Private Limited (GDPL), a brand known by our five-decade history as one of the pioneers in the Real Estate business in Pune. Innovation, transparency, and enhanced customer experience is how we have created award-winning, premium residential and commercial projects in Pune, Goa, Bengaluru, and California. We live and work by “Let’s Outdo”, a philosophy that defines everything we do to raise the standards of Real Estate in the country.

There are many ‘firsts’ that stand to our credit. Way back in 2004, we introduced India’s first 5-year Warranty on Real Estate, that RERA mandated only in 2017. We then introduced India’s first and only 7-year warranty in Real Estate. In 2014, we designed and launched the award-winning ChildCentric® Homes, which revolutionised the Real Estate sector for both, the developer, and the home buyer. IntelliplexesTM, SkyVillasTM, and The Imperium series are our other highly successful product lines. In our 50th Year, we launched yet another first-of-its-kind industry initiative—Gera’s Home Equity Power—a means to provide financial flexibility to customers to meet financial emergencies.
