The Start

It was a decision taken by R Vasudevan, Chairman of Vascon Engineers Ltd, to get into this business. Siddharth Vasudevan, Managing Director of the company carried forward the legacy. ”From a very young age, I was always keen on joining real estate and construction. It gives me immense satisfaction when I look back to all the projects that we have completed,” Siddharth reveals. He avers that there is often a lot to learn from every building and every city. For him, the most important point is to identify and acknowledge the comforts and convenience that they provide. Supported by his vision, Vascon Engineers Ltd has to its credit over 200 projects delivered with presence in more than 30 cities across India. During its remarkable journey of over three decades, the company has delivered around 50 million sq ft of spaces. 

Turning Point

Siddharth feels that it would be very difficult to zero in on one project as a turning point since they have done many types of buildings. ”To name a few, Marigold, making Kalyani Nagar what it is today, and Vascon Weikfield IT City being the crown jewel in Viman Nagar and Suzlon One Earth, which was one of the greenest buildings on earth,

we have had a few landmark projects’’ he says. No matter what, timely delivery and high quality have always
been their top priorities. ”These are the things that have made us a reputable and preferred brand, with many of our partners coming back to us for further projects,” Siddharth points out.

should not just meet but exceed in delivering over customer expectation,” Siddharth says.
