PROP CONNECT 2026 Sets New Benchmark for India’s Real Estate Industry, Showcases Power of Collaboration and Knowledge

Pune, 7th July 2026: Despite heavy rainfall across Maharashtra and significant travel disruptions, PROP CONNECT 2026 concluded on a grand and successful note, setting a new benchmark for collaboration, networking, and professional development in India’s real estate sector.

Organised by the Professional Realtors of Pune (PROP) in association with the National Association of Realtors – India (NAR-India) at JW Marriott Pune, the conference witnessed a houseful gathering of real estate professionals, making it one of the largest and most impactful real estate networking events held in Pune.

Professionals from 38 cities across India came together under one roof, embodying the event’s theme, “Connect. Collaborate. Grow.” The conference provided valuable opportunities for networking, business exchanges, referral partnerships, market insights, and the development of long-term professional relationships among real estate consultants, developers, investors, and industry leaders.
