Driving Growth in Dholera Smart City
It’s a moment of immense pride and inspiration! Meenakshi Khurana, a visionary leader in real estate, has been honored with the Dynamic Women Entrepreneur – Real Estate 2024-25 award at The Times of India’s prestigious Times Inspiring Women event. Held at Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad, the event recognized trailblazing women across industries, and Meenakshi’s remarkable contribution to transforming real estate in Dholera Smart City earned her this esteemed accolade. The award was presented by Mrs. Rivaba Ravindra Jadeja, MLA from Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Beyond the award, Meenakshi also took center stage as a panelist, engaging in an insightful discussion on the importance of financial literacy for women and how they can break barriers in male-dominated industries like real estate. She emphasized that leadership has no gender and encouraged women to step forward with confidence, ambition, and determination.
“Meeting Mrs. Rivaba Ravindra Jadeja was truly inspiring. She is humble, down-to-earth, and incredibly sorted, making a real difference in the world in her own unique way,” shared Meenakshi.
A Visionary Force Behind Dholera’s Growth
As the Co-founder of SmartHomes Infrastructure, Meenakshi, along with Rupinder Singh Khurana, Founder – SmartHomes Infrastructure, has been at the forefront of developing Dholera Smart City, India’s first greenfield smart city. Their dedication to sustainable real estate, transparent business practices, and smart urban development has positioned SmartHomes Infrastructure as a pioneering force in the region.
A testament to this vision is SmartHomes Infrastructure’s landmark partnership with Marriott Hotels, bringing Dholera’s first-ever 5-star hotel – Courtyard by Marriott. Located within Dholera International Plaza, this project is set to boost business, tourism, and investment potential, further establishing Dholera as a global hub for innovation and growth.
Behind every successful leader stands a strong support system, and for Meenakshi, that unwavering pillar has been Rupinder—her better half, biggest cheerleader, and strongest supporter. His unshakable belief in breaking barriers, fearless leadership, and commitment to equal opportunities has played a crucial role in Meenakshi’s journey.
“In an industry where women are still carving their space, having a husband who not only supports but actively empowers my ambitions makes all the difference. Rupinder’s encouragement, trust, and visionary leadership have been instrumental in my growth, allowing me to take on new challenges with confidence,” she expressed.
This recognition is not just a personal achievement but a celebration of the entire SmartHomes Infrastructure team, who continue to drive innovation, inclusivity, and impactful leadership in the real estate industry.
Dholera’s future is bright, and with leaders like Meenakshi and Rupinder, it is well on its way to becoming India’s most promising smart city.
