The Indian real estate market is currently experiencing unprecedented growth. As we look towards 2025, it is evident that the sector is showcasing remarkable resilience and a resurgence of investor confidence—propelled by a surge in housing sales and significant commercial expansion. Premium housing has emerged as the leading segment in India's real estate landscape, representing over 60% of total apartment sales—fuelled by lifestyle enhancements, strategic investments, and a concentrated effort by developers on high-margin projects.

Key factors behind the rise of premium homes:

Rising Hybrid Work Culture.

The hybrid work culture has transformed real estate, reshaping buyer preferences. By 2025, developers are prioritising multi-functional homes with spacious designs, providing dedicated workspaces, large balconies, and ample living areas—ideal for remote workers. Other factors also contribute to the growth of premium homes.

Amenity-Rich Homes.

Premium homes feature upscale amenities such as a meditation centre, rooftop lounge, and concierge services, enhancing the world-class living experience without the need to go out. Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, says the right time to invest in a premium home is now. Developers are now integrating yoga decks, organic gardens, and air purification systems to meet wellness demands. With rising awareness of mental health, buyers prioritise homes that support peaceful, rejuvenating lifestyles.

The road ahead:

The road ahead for premium home sales in India in 2025 looks resilient and value-driven, with affluent buyers continuing to prioritise lifestyle, location, and long-term investment—despite broader market challenges. The premium segment is expected to remain robust, supported by rising urban affluence and aspirational living. At the same time, the development of tech-enabled homes has enhanced the appeal of premium homes. Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, says it is safe to assume that it’s the new standard for India’s urban elite. As developers innovate and buyers seek lifestyle alignment, the segment is poised to drive real estate growth well into 2026.

D’Angelo, the Grammy-winning R&B singer, was well-known for his unique and soothing voice, which caught the media's attention with his 2000 hit, Untitled (How Does It Feel), and its music video. The video made him a sex symbol. He passed away on October 14 at the age of 51.

The singer, whose real name was Michael Eugene Archer, passed away on Tuesday, according to his family’s statement after a long battle with pancreatic cancer:  "a shining star of our family and has dimmed his light for us in this life, eternally grateful for the legacy of extraordinarily moving music he leaves behind."

In his music, D’Angelo combined the roots of Hip-Hop with peaceful soul, gospel-herited emotion that became a neo-soul movement of the 1990s. Early this year, the Virginia native celebrated his 30th anniversary of his debut album, Brown Sugar, which received this 1995 album a Grammy nomination in, and became one of R&B's fresh voices.

D’Angelo’s seductive vocal range – “a mix of raspy texture and church-bred fluidity — set him apart from his peers. That voice became inseparable from the striking visuals of his 2000 single ‘Untitled (How Does It Feel).’ The minimalist, shirtless music video became a cultural touchstone, igniting conversations around artistry, sexuality and vulnerability in Black male representation. The song earned him a Grammy for best male R&B vocal performance and propelled his sophomore album ‘Voodoo’ topping the Billboard 200 chart and winning the Grammy for best R&B album.”

D’Angelo got a chance to collaborate with various artists, including Lauryn Hill, with the track called “Nothing Even Matters”   that is featured on her 1998 album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, and became a contributor for the Roots with their 1996 album, Illadelph Halflife. 

D’Angelo joined Grammy Award-nominated R&B singer Angie Stone during the 1990s. They met when he was on his way to finish “Brown Sugar,” and they have shared similar backgrounds:  “both are from the South and both grew up in the church.” Stone worked on the album with him where they both co-wrote a song called “Everyday” that featured on her 1999 album Black Diamond.

Stone explained in the Associated Press in 1999 about D’Angelo as she described him as “musical soul mate,” and she continued about their professional relationship, "like milk and cereal …. musically, it was magic. It's something that I have not been able to do with any other producer or musician."

They had a son together, the artist Swayo Twain, born Michael Archer Jr.

Stone died in a Tragic Car Crash in March 2025, early this year, at the age of 63.

D’Angelo has a daughter named Imani Archer.
