Customer is KING!

We have evolved from the seller's market to the customer's market. Having said that, we mean that neither we nor you can afford to take customers for granted and lose them for life. According to the research, a disgruntled customer causes more damage to your business than a satisfied customer can do good about you. The damage is three times more here. Therefore, you must treat every customer with dignity and respect without compromising the ethics of your business. In our continuous endeavor to excel in customer satisfaction, retention, and attraction, we have devised a process called 'Customer First" that, in essence, a customer delight programme. It involves the following but not limited to. We lend our ears before we buck up. Having said that, we mean we patiently hear to our customers before offering any suggestion or solution. We resolve more or less 50% of the problems this way. You ought to keep in mind that NOT all the problems are genuine and to our ex

"Jackpot Championship" for the Elite

Being different pays in life. According to the best-selling author Shiv Khera, winners don't do different things, they do things differently. For instance, we welcome everyone to our projects and share a reciprocal growth with us. In the process, a few of you excel in some of our projects. However, having said that, we do not undermine the contributions of the other business partners associated with us. After all, a success is a journey and surely NOT a destination. What we mean here is that like the five fingers of your hand, we have got to recognize and reward those who work better than the rest. We have thus introduced "Jackpot Championship" where we have handpicked 30 business partners initially and have taken them to site visits on a number of occasions. We understand, together we can progress complementing each other's growth and prospect. In light of the above, we have designed "Jackpot Championship" for the elite business partners who love to

We are delighted to have you on our roster of business partners and at the same time, do not miss opportunities to reward you for being a bonafide business partner and a valued member of the extended family of HM Group. We understand how much pain you take for us on everyday basis and, therefore, have introduced a 48-hour payment system.

We practiced this payment system over the last couple of months and we were able to live up to our commitment there. We thus feel it necessary to reassure you that we care for you as much as you care for us. In other words, we have given birth to a reciprocal relat

Thank you for the overwhelming enquiries on HM Tower (1st, 2nd, & 6th floors)

We are back again here with another piece of information. We are grateful to all of you who have been instrumental to our coveted journey to success stretched over the last two decades since 1991 and without you, we couldn't have achieved this feat. It's the time to thank you all for your outstanding support and patronage to us. At the same time, we feel indebted for believing in our ability to build world-class projects like the HM Tower over the years in Bangalore. Our strategy of an early marketing of HM Tower has actually proved us right. We have been taken aback by the sheer number of enquiries on the project spread over the last two quarters of the current fiscal. The flow of enquiries grew steadily over the time though the number of enquiries made in Quarter II was just phenomenal. Having said that, we, however, do not mean that Quarter I was bad. In fact, we set the ball rolling in the Quarter I that finally bore the significant increase in the number of enquiries

Housewarming ceremony @ HM Tropical Tree

We are delighted to share with you that housewarming ceremony at HM Tropical Tree has just begun as people have moved in there. Historically, a housewarming ceremony is a kind of informal partying in the presence of family, friends, and close guests after one moves into a new home. The ceremony doesn't have any specific agenda other than an informal tour of the new home/property while the invitees there come with some gifts useful for decorating the new home. We at HM Group, however, take this ceremony to bond with our clients cum the new home owners. You will be happy to know that one of our clients recently organized a housewarming ceremony at HM Tropical Tree and we took this opportunity to bond with the client further by extending courtesies as below. We deputed an additional manpower from our side for the occasion just to ensure that everything was falling in place in the order of preferences of our esteemed client. At the same time, we ensured a hassle free envir

Trendy Business Centre "Awfis" at HM Vibha Towers

In our continuous endeavors to keep you updated about the happenings of HM Group, we take this opportunity to introduce HM Vibha that is synonymous with one of the trendiest business centers cum offices in Bangalore. We call it "Awfis" that is emotionally yours and that creates an awe in people surrounding you. In other words, when a company or an individual chooses to open an office at HM Vibha, they give birth to many telltales surrounding them. After all, HM Vibha is a class apart in the City of Bangalore that has virtually carved out a niche for itself in the posh offices of Bangalore. We have fully dedicated the 7 th floor of HM Vibha for the "Awfis" that has a spread over 15,000 sq. ft. (!).

It's time to take possession at HM Indigo 3.0

We are delighted to announce here that HM Indigo 3.0 is now ready for possession. It's a moment of glory and honor for all of us at HM Group as we gear up to hand over the keys to the homeowners of HM Indigo 3.0 at HM World City.  However, the handover of a project like HM Indigo 3.0 requires a sustained and a well planned effort for living up to the promises made at the time of its selling. It is this stage of a project (after the completion of construction) where a builder has to ensure that the facility operations at the property are meeting a success. Simultaneously, an efficient and effective communication on the handover and the project compliance must be passed to the new owners. In other words, the handover process calls for a thorough check and restraint on the contractors by a builder. Since HM Indigo 3.0 has been scheduled for the handover, all works including those pertaining to the facility management there are being strictly monitored against the deadline. Our pro

Jio @ HM Techpark

We have achieved another milestone with the AG 3 Centre at HM Tech Park. It gives us immense pleasure to share with you all that Reliance Jio (the world's biggest startup with an investment of more than INR 1500,000 crore) has set up its central network hub for the Karnataka circle at HM Tech Park. The choice of the location was motivated by several factors that matter most in a telecom business. Do you know the entire traffic of a telecom circle gets aggregated at AG 3? From a commoner's perspective, AG 3 is the entry and the exit point for all IP (Internet Protocol) traffic within the circle and also from outside circles. Therefore, AG 3 Centre has housed the stuff like routers, DWDM Transport, EPC, and CDN equipment - all that matter for an augmented capacity of handling a very high volume of traffic for voice and data. On the flip side, Aggregation Node 3 is a traffic aggregation point for AG 2, better known as the core router. AG 2 connects different circles having

The best part of this transition is that we have been able to extend a warm welcome to M/S. 855 Trial Lawyers, to the Silicon Valley of India - Bangalore that itself is another milestone and has virtually added another feather to the city's cap. The City of Bangalore can now boast of some of the finest legal brains in the world. In other words, the city now has an array of global legal experts befitting the needs of the multinational companies that have set up shops in Bangalore, India.

Mock-up and Model Apartment

What is Mock-up and Model Apartment? Mock ups are commonly required by builders, designers, architects, and end users for custom furniture and cabinetry. The intention is often to produce a full-sized replica, using inexpensive materials in order to verify a design. In manufacturing and design, a  mock up , or  mock-up , is a scale or full-size model of a design or device, used for teaching, demonstration, design evaluation, promotion, and other purposes. A  mock up  is a prototype if it provides at least part of the functionality of a system and enables testing of a design. Mock-ups are used by designers mainly to acquire feedback from users. Mock-ups address the idea captured in a popular engineering one-liner: You can fix it now on the drafting board with an eraser or you can fix it later on the construction site with a sledge hammer.

AN EDGE OVER CUSTOMER SERVICING: A PLEDGE

Because of evolving business processes and rapid changes, the way people work is changing. However, savvy facility executives are learning that a high performance workplace can make a significant contribution to boost productivity, improving profitability and creating a competitive edge. To achieve this exceptional performance, the new focus is to shift their focus from the space their people occupy to the nature of the work their people do and how they can support it most effectively. We at HM are changing the way internal services are provided and delivered to our customers. A good example of the importance of understanding the need of the customer comes from the way the HM CRM team took initiative to solve a problem which proved to be an exemplary service by the customers and also increased their faith in our service. There was a huge dump of interior debris at the backyard of Indigo Block. This was of high concern as it was pertaining to hygienic issue for the residents there

LO & BEHOLD! REVAMP OF OFFICE SPACE TO RETAIN SATISFIED CLIENTS

Image
Some view office renovation work as a dreadful chore, some find it a financial burden. But the plain fact is that, for a business to grow, constant office renovation is essential and necessary to maintain such growth. The major factor of concern while working on the interior of the Nuware's Office was that the office was running as the interior works were taking place so it was challenging to make the work happen. So phase based renovation plan was implemented so that the daily work atmosphere of the employees is not disturbed or hampered in any way possible. When it comes to renovation works, it is definitely wise to replace the carpets and tiles to ensure a fresher and livelier atmosphere. A fresh spray of paint or a wall sticker change can liven up this workplace. The surrounding walls can play a huge part in determining the ambience of your office. A change of color is essential to follow changes in color trends so a new color combo was set along with the textur

A PAGE FROM MY SALES DIARY - Subin James

My journey in selling   HM INDIGO   has been a great learning experience, not only it has helped me identifying the sales person in me, but also helped me to grow as an individual. Over these months, I’ve realised that a sales person is the first identity and the face of the company for a client, so striving to be a successful sales person has made me learn many new things. And each and every day so far has been a new learning experience. The most interesting part of the trade is that; we get to meet different types of individuals. Ranging from clients who know exactly what they want, to clients who are not sure if this is what they want. Some clients who are particular about each and every specification, to those who are not so specific. Clients who are unable to make a decision, to clients who make decisions on the spot Here is a one my real life experience, which is eye opener in my Journey: “ 5-year kid made a decision in 10 minute ”, surprised! Yes, friends a 5-yea

WHY CARPET AREAS CANNOT BE APPLE TO APPLE COMPARISON

One of the first things people ask when they are interested in a home is “What’s the carpet area (square footage)?” One of the first things we ask buyers, once we know their price range is “what size home do you need?”. With few exceptions, people are able to immediately quote a size range in square feet. Square footage measurements make it easy to compare and sort one house against another and to decide, when searching, which homes to select initially as candidate properties, and which to exclude. Many agents and buyers use the Carpet area size of the home to compare the price per square foot against the average price per square foot of homes sold in the particular neighborhood or area in which the home is located. Agents and Buyers use the Carpet Area in this manner because no other characteristic of a house is as easy to understand, or as generally reliable to compare. Of course Carpet area size it is not and should not be the ONLY one criteria used in valuing a home. There ar
