Some leaders set goals. Others reshape the landscape that future generations will grow upon.
Mohit Bansal, CEO and Founder of GMI Infra in Chandigarh, represents this new class of Indian leaders who combine clarity of thought with a commitment to national progress. His work stands out not for its noise, but for its purpose. At a time when real estate faces deep public scepticism, he has emerged as a symbol of reliability, intent and meaningful development.
His story reflects the rise of a new Indian leadership style: thoughtful, grounded, analytical and deeply aware of the social responsibility that comes with building cities.
A Foundation Built on Precision and Understanding
Mohit Bansal’s career path led him to science first and only afterwards to real estate.
His education at the State University of New York combined the disciplines of computer science and applied mathematics, which consequently gave him the systematic approach to planning, design and long-term strategy. The way data, logic and structure were taught to him helped him to create environments in which people and businesses could thrive.
He could have constructed a global career overseas, but he selected a more difficult road.
He returned to India with the belief that he would not be able to make any better progress than the one his fellow countrymen would make. His first-hand observation of the Indian infrastructure construction and high-altitude engineering projects gave him the belief that development is one of the greatest public responsibilities.
Those experiences planted the seed for GMI Infra.
The GMI Infra Vision: Development That Serves People
When GMI Infra was established in 2018, it did not merely initiate a real estate project.
It commenced a venture that aspired to create human habitats where trust, respect and economic opportunity could flourish side by side.
