Chitty Babu, chairman of Sout­hcon 2013.

 

“I see a tremendous scope for development in the southern market; companies playing in this area are well governed and are transparent in transactions making it a unique market,” he said. This year’s theme of the biennial event is “Together for transformation” and will be a platform for constructive discussion of current challenges faced by the in­dustry and arrive at ways to curb them,” he added. 

 

Among other things that will be discussed in the meet will be the expansion of Credai’s Tamil Nadu chapter into other towns in the state, the newly formed COC and CGRF initiatives and progress across Creai’s south India chapters, regulatory challenges, new building technology and scope of growth in smaller towns, said N.
