The
Journey

Two strands, read together. The dated entries are the Ajmera Group’s own published chronology — the house in which this career took place. The marked entries are what the company records of Sanjay Ajmera’s remit. Where a date is not on the record, none has been invented.

How to read this page.

A career of almost thirty-one years inside a group founded in 1968 sits roughly in its second half — the decades in which the Group moved from housing colonies to townships, from townships to high-rise development, and from a family business to a listed company.

Entries marked Group are drawn from the chronology Ajmera publishes. Entries marked Remit describe responsibilities recorded in the company’s board profile; they are placed alongside the timeline for context and are deliberately undated, because the company does not date them.

  1. 1968
    Group

    The groundwork is laid

    Shri Chhotalal S. Ajmera — Chhotubhai — lays the groundwork for the Ajmera Group and establishes its headquarters in Manish Nagar, Andheri, Mumbai. He had come to Mumbai with, in the Group’s own account, aspiration and enthusiasm rather than capital.

  2. 1975
    Group

    The unconventional turn

    After a decade of work the founder takes an unconventional path and focuses the business on the mid and budget residential segment. It is the decision the Group identifies as its first real breakthrough, and it sets the character of everything that follows: volume, delivery and ordinary households rather than trophy assets.

  3. Pimpri
    Group

    Ajmera Housing Complex, Pune

    Work begins on the Ajmera Housing Complex at Pimpri, Pune, spanning some 100,000 square feet. It is the Group’s early foothold in a city that would later become the centre of Sanjay Ajmera’s own project responsibility.

  4. Mira Road
    Group

    Shanti Nagar — a township at scale

    Construction begins on the Group’s first integrated township, at Shanti Nagar, Mira Road: 1,500 buildings and 17,000 flats across 265 acres, described by the Group as Asia’s first township of its kind. The project fixes the Group’s competence at scale rather than at single buildings.

  5. 1988
    Group

    1.7 million square feet at Shastri Nagar

    A 1.7 million square foot development is built at Shastri Nagar, Andheri West, Mumbai — the most notable of the world-class complexes the Group completed through the 1980s.

  6. 31 years
    Remit

    Sanjay Ajmera’s active involvement begins

    The company’s board profile records almost thirty-one years of active involvement with the Group. That tenure places his entry in the period when the Group was moving beyond its founding housing work and into the township, high-rise and multi-city phase described below. No specific joining date is published, and none is asserted here.

  7. 1996
    Group

    Bhakti Park, Wadala

    Construction begins on the first phase of Bhakti Park at Wadala, Mumbai. The second phase would house 2,000 families around Mumbai’s largest 25-acre garden. In the same period the Group builds Citi Mall in Andheri and the Yogi Nagar housing complex.

  8. Pune
    Remit

    A leading role in Pune development and construction

    He plays a leading role in the development and construction of the Group’s projects in Pune. In practice this is a two-sided responsibility: the commercial and statutory work of getting a project sanctioned, and the site work of getting it built to programme.

  9. 2006
    Group

    Ajmera Infinity, Bengaluru

    The Group develops Ajmera Infinity, its largest residential complex in Bengaluru — the point at which the business becomes genuinely multi-city rather than Mumbai-and-outward.

  10. Liaison
    Remit

    Business development and civic liaison

    He is well associated with business development and works in liaison with government and municipal authorities. Across a multi-city portfolio this is the function that converts land and intent into a sanctioned, buildable project.

  11. 2012
    Group

    Ajmera Zeon and Ajmera Villows

    Both launched in 2012, offering 2–4 BHK homes across four acres, housing 800 families, and 52 villas respectively.

  12. 2014
    Group

    Ajmera Stone Park, Electronic City

    Launched in 2014, offering 2, 2.5 and 3 BHK homes across 13.8 acres in Bengaluru’s Electronic City.

  13. 2020
    Group

    Ajmera Treon receives its occupation certificate

    Treon, a high-rise at Ajmera i-Land in Wadala offering 2, 3 and 4 BHK apartments across four acres, receives its occupation certificate in 2020. Ajmera Manhattan, a 44-storey project in the same location, follows.

  14. Ongoing
    Remit

    Redevelopment

    He is also associated with the redevelopment projects undertaken by the Group — the segment in which construction is carried out on established, occupied sites, and in which agreement with existing residents precedes every other milestone.

  15. 2026
    Group

    Fifty-eight years on

    The Group describes more than fifty-eight years in Indian real estate and a presence across six cities and two countries, with Ajmera Realty & Infra India Ltd. as its listed entity. Sanjay Ajmera serves on its board as a Whole-Time Director.

What the chronology does not say.

Dates for an individual’s appointments, education and personal milestones are not published by the company, and are therefore absent from this page rather than estimated. If those details are provided, they can be added to this timeline without any change to its structure.
