Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The company, which started operations four and a half years ago as a project management consultancy, has since scaled up into a full-fledged real estate development enterprise with a workforce of over 400. Aggarwal, who moved to the UAE after qualifying as a CA in India, said the company is positioning itself to take advantage of upcoming infrastructure projects in Ras Al Khaimah, including developments around Al Marjan Island. BNW's recent projects include a mix of high-end residential and commercial spaces aimed at both domestic and international investors. 'Our focus is on building responsibly while responding to demand shifts in the region,' Aggarwal said. 'We are also adapting to the evolving needs of end-users—from sustainable materials to multi-functional designs.' The company has expanded its footprint beyond the UAE, catering to clients in markets such as Russia and China. BNW is also investing in digital systems to streamline project execution and enhance customer engagement. Apart from its business focus, the company has also made social contributions through small-scale community initiatives, although it maintains a low profile on philanthropic fronts. With interest in the northern emirates rising due to policy announcements and tourism-led infrastructure, BNW Developments sees long-term value in entering underpenetrated zones early.

3 fire incidents reported in Chandigarh, Mohali; close shave for kid
1 2 Chandigarh/Mohali: It was a tough day for firefighters as three blazes were reported in the Tricity on Friday. While two fires were reported from Chandigarh, another incident took place in Mohali. Fire erupted on the second floor of a residence in Karsan Colony, Sector 52, Chandigarh, when a 4-year-old child was present inside the unit. Alert neighbours successfully rescued the child before the arrival of the fire brigade. The fire brigade managed to extinguish the blaze during a 30-minute operation. According to reports, the child was alone at home while the parents were away. Neighbours spotted the flames and promptly alerted the fire department. Though the precise cause remains undetermined, sources indicate the fire originated within the house, despite no clear evidence during the operation. The fire consumed bedding, furniture and various household items within the rented premises. Despite four fire engines arriving from various stations across the city, a single tender proved sufficient to contain the situation. The affected family has reported the loss of cash that was stored within the residence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Undo "A family was staying on rent on the second floor of the house. Parents, who were labourers, had gone out possibly for some work after leaving the child at home. The fire team saved other floors of the house by dousing the fire on time. Over a dozen firemen worked hard in the operation, and no human injury was reported," an official said. Another fire broke out at the New India Insurance office, located on the third floor of a building in Sector 34, on Friday morning. Though the fire was controlled in 10 minutes, thick smoke engulfed the area, which took time to clear. No injury was reported, but some documents, furniture, and ACs were gutted in the fire. Water sprinklers prevented the fire from spreading. The firemen had to break a couple of glass windows to release the smoke. The incident occurred around 9 am. Nobody was in the office, and the road and parking area were clear, which allowed fire vehicles easy access to the spot. "No wiring of the office was found open, though it seems that a fluctuation in power may be the reason. However, it is not clear what led to the fire incident. Around 14 firemen carried out the operation," an official said. The third incident was reported from Mohali where a massive fire broke out at a pizza outlet in Sector 82 in the early hours on Friday, reducing property and goods worth lakhs to ashes. The fire reportedly started during the night and rapidly engulfed the entire showroom. Owner Ankur Aggarwal said the blaze caused an estimated loss of Rs 30 lakh. According to the local fire department, a distress call was received at around 4 am. "It took approximately 30 minutes to bring the flames under control," said a fire officer at the scene. While the exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, preliminary investigations suggest a short circuit may have triggered the incident. Among the destroyed items were four motorcycles, an Activa scooter used for deliveries, a generator, air conditioners, and other electronic appliances. The interior of the showroom was also extensively damaged.
