Chairman and Managing Director
Embassy Group
This newsletter is very special.
It is the first.
And also the last.
The first for the year 2015. And the last for
financial year 2014-15.
We closed 2014 on a high note. The
acquisition of Four Seasons Hotel &
Private Residences, Bangalore; the signing
of India’s largest commercial real estate
deal with Flipkart for 3.25 million sft of
office space at Embassy TechVillage and
handing over office space to Mercedes
Benz Research & Development India
(MBRDI) at Embassy Crest, being
amongst the most talked about. The year
2015 got off to a flying start, with Embassy
Office Parks signing a lease deal at
Embassy TechVillage, with Wells Fargo,
the largest US bank.
The business model at Embassy Group has
been rooted on rock-solid values, with
a progress path marked by resilience,
transparency and strict adherence to
stipulated standards. Over the years,
we have built and nurtured a team that
is passionate about what we do for the
benefit of all stakeholders, where integrity
is the key. We place sustainability at the
core of our endeavours, whilst delivering
value to our clients and customers -
consistently!
CHAIRMAN’S
MESSAGE
In the months ahead, Embassy Group
will train its focus on delivering on
commitments, across our residential,
commercial and hospitality projects.
Embassy Pristine, our luxury green home
project off Koramangala is fast nearing
completion and will be ready for
occupation by end 2015. Our office parks
portfolio reported a combined occupancy
of 97%, whilst Embassy GolfLinks
achieved 100% occupancy, post the deal
with Ola Cabs. In the commercial sector,
Embassy Group registered a growth of
37.8%, of which Embassy Office Parks
contributed 18.97 million sft. Embassy
Office Parks contributed 31 of the 43 new
commercial tenants across our properties.
We will deliver space to these clients in the
next 24-36 months.
Let me once again reassure you that all our
projects are scheduled for completion and
delivery as committed, if not earlier.
I appreciate the genuine interest you have
been displaying in our newsletter, gauging
by the tremendous response to the two
previous issues. I request you to keep
sending in your feedback.

Embassy Group, in early December,
handed over 2,60,000 sft of prime
commercial real estate space in Embassy
Crest, Whitefield, to automobile giant
Mercedes-Benz Research and Develop-
ment India (MBRDI).
Embassy Crest is a joint venture between
the Embassy Group and United Telecom.
This development further cements
Embassy Group’s position as the leading
private owner and operator of world-class
office spaces in India.
Commenting on the development, Jitu
Virwani, Chairman and Managing
Director of Embassy Group remarked,
“We are delighted to have Mercedes-Benz
Research and Development India as our
client at Embassy Crest and we are happy
to grow our long standing relationship
with them. Our office spaces are more
than just brick and mortar workplaces –
they are business ecosystems engineered
to enhance productivity.”
“The office premises with fully furnished
fit outs has been delivered to the client.
“The five-year lease (with an option to be
extended by another five years) will
strengthen a twelve-year old partnership
between the Embassy Group and Daimler
AG,” he added.
A long-standing occupier at Embassy
Office Parks, Mercedes Benz’s association
with the Embassy Group has been growing
from strength to strength. To quote
Prasanna Gonuguntla, GM – CAE
Simulation MBRDI “Our association with
Embassy Group commenced with our
Infantry Road office. While working on
our new facility, ‘Embassy Crest’, we
experienced the same quality standards of
professional know-how, diligence,
flexibility and support from the Embassy
Group as was expected of them. This is
why, we were able to complete a ‘Daimler’
standard building on time, even when
faced with many technical and structural
challenges and working under stringent
timelines.”

Lowe’s scales up operations
American blue chip, Wells Fargo signed
a deal for office space at Embassy
TechVillage, an Embassy Office Parks
venture.
San Francisco-based Wells Fargo &
Company, the largest US bank by market
capitalization, has signed a lease deal for
approximately 8,50,000 sft with Embassy
Office Parks, where the US-banking firm
will be provided space across two
built-to-suit buildings at Embassy
TechVillage on the Outer Ring Road in
Bengaluru in the next 24 months.
Planned as an integrated facility with commercial,
residential, hospitality and retail components, Embassy
Manyata Business Park is located on 110.49 acres of land in
North Bangalore, offering SEZ and Non-SEZ options for
office occupiers. This Park has recorded an impressive
repeat business from its tenant base, thanks to its range of
convenient on-site facilities and amenities that include
intra-city transportation. Embassy Manyata also has a sports
complex, Embassy SportsZone, with facilities for cricket,
football and other sports that is an integral part of the Park.
Top clients at Embassy Manyata include IBM India,
Cognizant, Nokia Solutions, ANZ and Target.
Taking forward the Embassy Group’s focus on sustainable development, Embassy Office Parks endeavours to make all its projects as
environment-friendly as possible. With the current areas of focus on aggressively adopting ‘Green Energy’ in its parks, the Group is
already exploring the possibility of installing rooftop solar plants so as to harness the clean energy generated from these plants and thus
reduce the overall grid energy usage. As a pilot project, a 450 kW plant is currently being installed at Embassy Manyata Business Park,
scheduled to be operational by end April 2015. Upon commissioning, this project is expected to generate about 760,000 units of solar
energy. The overall rooftop solar potential for the entire portfolio is estimated to exceed 5,000 kW with an annual generation capacity
of over 90 lakh units.

As the name suggests, the IGBC Green Homes Gold
certified Embassy Pristine is about living the good

Embassy Pristine comprises apartments blessed with

to live, work, play and entertain; floor to ceiling
windows that open onto scenic views; balconies and
gardens that express your connection with nature.
At Embassy Pristine, even the smallest eco-sensitive

Take for instance how the energy of the sun is
harnessed for solar heating, while rainwater is

that minimise the need for artificial lighting while
the lighting provided is energy efficient.
Work at Embassy Pristine is fast nearing completion,
and this luxury residential project will be ready for

At Embassy Boulevard, residents will rub
shoulders with the who’s who of the
corporate and social upper crust, like Amit
Agarwal, Managing Director - Amazon
India, who did not think twice, once he
chanced upon Embassy Boulevard, online.
In Amit’s words, “The contemporary
architecture, the space, the integration of
cutting-edge technology and green
elements stoked my interest in Embassy
Boulevard. The model villa, executed to
the minutest detail had me hooked. We
eagerly await moving into Boulevard and
to a bright, green, spacious home in a safe
community with all the privacy and
pampering it offers. Quality time here
would include dipping in the pool and
hitting the biking trails with my kids. We
can’t wait to make new friends here to
socialize with and share common interests
or simply spend time doing nothing at all.”
added Amit.

Issue - 3 March 2015
Stonehill International School, Bangalore prides itself on unity in rich diversity amongst different nationalities of the school’s
community including the students, teachers and parents. This core ideology was celebrated with the International Food Fair that was
held on January 31st, 2015 at the school where parents and students of 15 nationalities showcased food and games from their countries.
It was a day that was filled with delectable food, fun and friendship.
THE RELEVANCE OF AN IB AND DP EDUCATION
In line with the holistic philosophy and approach to education -
Stonehill recently hosted the IBDP Workshop 2015, an event for
180 teachers and educators from India and the South-Pacific
Zone. Stuart Jones, Head of Professional Development, Asia-
Pacific, IBO said “We’re delighted to be a part of this workshop at
Stonehill. We believe that if we are going to have an impact on
students, the teachers working with students are the most
powerful force. We want schools to invest in teachers.”
As students look to foreign universities to do under-graduate and
post-graduate degrees, the IB Diploma Programme (DP) with the
unique ‘Theory of Knowledge’ course helps students enhance their
personal and interpersonal development and seamlessly transi-
tion to new academic environments.

who check that homework is done, that boarders leave for school
on time etc. Parents can enjoy more relaxed weekends and
holidays with their children.”
Boarding life can be rewarding, fun with a deep bonding that
create strong support networks at school and in sustaining
lifelong friendships.
