Khalid Masood and Kunal Seth\'s leadership takes Shalimar Corp Ltd to a new level

In a market that is extremely fast-paced, overly competitive and shows ceaseless fluctuations, Shalimar Corp. Ltd. stands its own ground. The unparalleled position that Shalimar has maintained is rooted in their age-old values that sustain even in a world with cut throat competition. Commitment to the customer, topped with attention to detail, characteristic designs, innovative ideas and timely deliveries is what has made the name ‘Shalimar’ interchangeable with ‘real estate’ in India. And, under the leadership of its four pioneers, Mr. Khalid Masood, Mr. Kunal Seth, Mrs. Leena Seth and Mr. Abdullah Masood, the company and its (1000+) employees seem to be reaching new heights.

Established in 1985 and headquartered in Lucknow, the Shalimar Group is spread across multiple sectors including residential and commercial real estate, property management, allied services, contractual construction works, import-export and glass processing.

The legacy of Shalimar is unmatched, and considering the direction in which Mr. Khalid Masood and Mr. Kunal Seth are moving the company, it seems futile for anyone to try and catch up. 

Having head office at Shalimar Titanium, the corporate hub of Lucknow, Shalimar Corp Ltd. is the successful developer of more than 30 real estate and infrastructure projects covering nearly 6 million sq. ft. of residential and commercial property.
