Reddy Business Hub Hosts Power-Packed Business Conclave at HICC, Hyderabad - A Day of Insight, Innovation & Inspiration
Prominent businessmen from the Reddy community participated in this program. Ark Group CMD, CREDAI National President Gummi Ram Reddy, Metro MD NVS Reddy were present as the chief guests. On this occasion, business coaching sessions were organized to benefit future generations. In discussions with businessmen, investors, and experts, direction was given on branding and financial strategies. Also, a special session was organized on women empowerment and self-reliant business. The experiences of successful women leaders were shared with everyone in this program.
Speaking on this occasion, Ark Group CMD, CREDAI National President Gummi Ram Reddy said.. 'I am very happy to participate in this program. Many business entrepreneurs came. Business sessions were held with experts in various fields to benefit future generations. If we want to be successful, we have to do what we have been told. If you do business honestly, success will not come quickly. Success will come even if it takes some time. I would say that business is not for money. You should earn money by doing business. Brand building is very important in business. I motivated everyone to see long-term success, not short-term,' he said.
Metro MD N.V.S. Reddy said..'The aim of this summit is to discuss how the Reddy community can develop in business and other sectors. While 50% of billionaires in America belong to the same social group, 80% of top businesses in India are run by Marwaris and Gujaratis. These communities were agricultural families like us in the past. But with the times, they shifted their focus to education, financial literacy, skill development, and national-international thinking. Overcoming language barriers and social crises, they have built strong networks, shared knowledge across generations, and achieved great successes in fields like business, science, and technology. Our Reddy community is equally capable. If we move forward with unity, vision, and drive, we too can build a powerful legacy. Not just in business, but in all fields. This summit is the first step towards our future," he said.
Reddy Business Hub Founder Bharat Reddy said.. "This program will be very useful for those looking for business opportunities. We organized this program to support our community in all ways in terms of education, knowledge, and financial terms. We designed it to provide business opportunities to many people through business franchises. We are supporting them in all ways. I hope everyone will take advantage of this opportunity. I am very happy to receive such a good response to our program."
This business conclave, which was attended by more than 500 representatives, strengthened relations not only among the Reddy community but also among other business communities.

Builders seek hassle-free access to M Sand after state govt finalises SOP for policy
1 2 Pune: Builders have urged state govt to ensure smooth access, availability, and transportation of manufactured sand (M Sand) after the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the M Sand policy was finalised last week. The move, announced by revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule on July 29, aims to eliminate river sand mining across the state. While developers welcomed the policy, they said its success hinges on quick permissions, reliable supply chains, and improved infrastructure, especially in rural areas. "If M Sand is made easily accessible even in remote regions, reliance on river sand will naturally decline," a developer told TOI, choosing anonymity. You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune Members of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (Credai) told TOI that transporting M Sand continues to pose challenges due to traffic restrictions and logistical hurdles that need to be addressed after the SOP. They further recommended that the state maintain a verified list of approved manufacturers so that builders can source M Sand from nearby locations more efficiently. "Govt must ensure that M Sand is available across all regions, including rural belts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like It's Genius for Learning Languages [See Why] Talkpal AI Undo A list of verified suppliers and simplified transport norms will reduce costs and delays," a Credai core committee member told TOI. The committee also suggested deploying mobile testing labs and training centres for contractors in remote areas to ensure quality and promote awareness. Credai Pune president Manish Jain said the construction sector is committed to using sustainable alternatives like M Sand — a type of fine aggregate produced by crushing hard rocks such as granite. "M Sand is a robust and eco-friendly substitute for river sand. Due to its controlled manufacturing process, it offers consistent grain size and quality, making it ideal for concrete and plastering," Jain said. Builder Kapil Gandhi noted that M Sand is produced using advanced technology in a controlled environment. "River sand hasn't been used in urban areas for decades. M Sand is sent to labs for testing, and each project receives a specific mix-design report based on raw material, water quality, and local conditions. Earlier issues with plaster quality were resolved through research and development. The final product is engineered to meet high standards," he explained. Bharat Agarwal, president of the National Real Estate Development Council (Naredco), supported the ban on river sand mining, citing the damage it causes to riverbeds and aquatic ecosystems. "M Sand is a sustainable and widely accepted alternative. We urge govt to grant more licenses for M Sand units, especially as real estate activity across Maharashtra is surging," he said. Agarwal also recommended simplifying royalty payments and expediting environmental clearances for mining. "Approvals should be routed through an automatic system to avoid bottlenecks," he said. According to a govt resolution (GR) issued by the revenue department in May this year, public and private land parcels suitable for M Sand units will be listed for auction on the 'Mahakhanij' portal, stated officials. Applicants must submit a registered undertaking, along with approvals such as the Pollution Control Board's 'Consent to Establish' and a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the local planning authority. Developers said the SOP is a strong policy initiative but called for swift on-ground execution, easier logistics, and region-wide availability to ensure a smooth transition from river sand to M Sand. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE M-SAND SOP > M Sand is manufactured by crushing hard stone into sand-sized particles > Existing quarry leaseholders can apply through the Mahakhanij portal for M Sand production > The first 50 projects in each district are eligible for concessions from the revenue and industries departments > Unit holders must apply separately for concessions and establish units within six months > 'Consent to Operate' from the Pollution Control Board is mandatory before production begins > A secondary transport permit is required for M Sand sale and transport > Deputy collector to serve as nodal officer for implementation
