Profile
SILA is a Real Estate Services company driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. Over the last few years, SILA has efficiently scaled to become one of the fastest-growing Real Estate Services companies in India, managing over 30 million sq. ft. assets with 6000+ employees. SILA provides Facility Management, Project Management and Turnkey Interior Contracting to various asset classes within Real Estate, and has a diverse client base of large Corporates, Capital providers and Developers. In April 2019, SILA ventured into Real Estate Development backed by Samara Capital Group, with a Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) focus. The Brownfield development strategy is to align with NBFCs/Funds and solution provide on stressed situations within their portfolios. SILA is currently developing two projects in the MMR. In August 2019, Norwest Venture Partners (NVP) bought a significant minority stake in SILA’s Real Estate Services business. SILA has the infrastructure in place to be a market leader and to deliver high quality services at scale. Some of the key differentiators of SILA’s business model,
- Early adopters of technology – SILA has built tailored tech for our backend operations and front-end service delivery. The company started investing in tech early in the business lifecycle, which has made implementation feasible
- Fully integrated model – recruitment, training, payroll, and compliance all done inhouse. We the minimize the reliance on outsourced vendors to provide compliance and quality service delivery
- Entrepreneurial focus, core business – unlike most of our larger competitors where the Facility Management and Projects divisions are not the profit drivers in their overall business model; this is SILA’s core business and management time and bandwidth is spent on continuous improvement
