Innov8 founder and entrepreneur Ritesh Malik acquired a bungalow in Golf Links, Delhi's Lutyens' Bungalow Zone, for Rs 85 crore. The property spans 575 square yards (5,175 square feet). Malik founded Innov8 in 2015; the coworking company was later acquired by SoftBank-backed OYO. Transaction facilitated by Sotheby's International Realty. Malik plans to redevelop the bungalow with construction expected to take about one year.

Malik heads The Mangrove Holdings family office, which has invested in over 125 startups including Ather Energy, Agnikul Cosmos, and Blue Tokai. The family office has also backed residential developments with Max Estates in Noida and Gurugram.

Golf Links has historically attracted established business families (Mittals, Hindujas, Goenkas, Jindals, Ruias). Recent entrants include Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma.

Recent Lutyens' Delhi transactions: Earlier 2026, Essel Group Chairman Subhash Chandra sold a Bhagwan Das Road bungalow for Rs 1,260 crore. In 2025, Kusum Ansal sold a Feroze Shah Road bungalow for Rs 241 crore to Yatah Enterprise. ChrysCapital partner Sanjay Kukreja and wife bought a Golf Links bungalow for Rs 155 crore with Rs 9.30 crore stamp duty. October 2024, Sidhant Real Estate acquired a Prithviraj Road bungalow for Rs 150 crore.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, originally built for the 1982 Asian Games and refurbished for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, may be demolished and redeveloped into a modern sports city modelled after Qatar's Aspire Zone and Australian facilities.

The 102-acre complex will be transformed into a state-of-the-art hub featuring world-class training and event infrastructure. Only 28% of the land is currently used; the new facility will be multipurpose, accommodating sports clubs, residential facilities, and entertainment venues.

Real estate impact varies by area:

• Ultra-premium zones like Golf Links (bungalows sell for over ₹100 crore) unlikely to see major price changes; the project will sustain their ultra-premium status
• Jor Bagh, Defence Colony, and Jangpura (mostly redeveloped apartments) may attract high-value tenants and see rental value increases due to enhanced wellness and sports amenities
• Gen Z affluent buyers in redeveloped flats may be drawn to new sports facilities; marginal valuation upticks possible due to demand-supply mismatch
• Modern apartments in Jor Bagh sell for around ₹25 crore

Property prices in premium neighbourhoods typically rise with new infrastructure like flyovers and improved connectivity. India is bidding to host 2036 Olympics and 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad.
