Mumbai, Maharashtra, India – Thursday, August 28, 2025: The story of Indian real estate is no longer confined to boardrooms or brochures. It is written on highways, in bustling city streets, and through the voices of those shaping tomorrow’s urban landscape. This September, Insomniacs is set to launch The Realty Drive 2025, a groundbreaking road trip from Mumbai to Gurugram, with strategic pit stops at Ahmedabad, Surat, Jaipur, and Noida.
A Journey Through India’s Urban Transformation
Unlike traditional real estate events, The Realty Drive 2025 represents a traveling caravan designed to decode India’s urban blueprint by exploring real estate growth patterns, infrastructure revolutions, cultural dynamics, and heritage contexts. The carefully curated route traverses the nation’s most significant economic corridors and emerging urban centers.
The journey begins in Mumbai, India’s financial heartbeat and luxury real estate benchmark, before moving to Surat, the diamond capital now transforming into an infrastructure powerhouse. From there, the convoy heads to Ahmedabad, where entrepreneurial energy fuels futuristic developments such as GIFT City and the ambitious Dholera Smart City project. The route continues to Jaipur, where traditional Rajasthani architecture blends seamlessly with modern urban planning initiatives, before concluding in Noida and Gurugram—the twin engines of the National Capital Region that are continuously rewriting the nation’s urban possibilities.
India’s Premier Real Estate Influencer Collective

Comprehensive Content Strategy
Scheduled from September 15-24, 2025, The Realty Drive 2025 is positioned as a content revolution that will fundamentally change how India consumes real estate and infrastructure conversations. The initiative will produce:

- A comprehensive 90-minute documentary capturing the complete journey and insights
- Real-time social media content including reels, live sessions, and bite-sized market insights
- Interactive audience engagement through multiple digital platforms
“This initiative transcends property listings and project launches. It’s about capturing the heartbeat of cities, understanding their residents, and envisioning their futures,” explained Deepti Mallik.
Future Expansion and Vision
The Realty Drive represents the beginning of a larger movement. Phase 2, scheduled for 2026, will expand into South India, creating an even more comprehensive platform for decoding the nation’s urban growth story and examining regional development patterns.
Govind Rai, CEO & Co-Founder of Insomniacs, emphasized the initiative’s broader significance: “The Realty Drive isn’t merely a road trip. It’s about decoding India’s urban future—mile by mile, city by city. We’re not just observing transformation; we’re documenting and analyzing it in real-time.”
Industry Impact
Together, this collective forms a convoy unprecedented in India’s real estate industry. The initiative represents the first industry-wide storytelling movement that unites diverse voices, multiple cities, and varied perspectives into a cohesive vision for the nation’s urban development.
With Insomniacs × The Realty Drive, the stage is set for a transformative approach to real estate discourse—one that combines on-ground exploration with digital storytelling to create a comprehensive understanding of India’s evolving urban landscape.
