Daybreak

Indians put more than half their household wealth into real estate. But almost all of it goes into one kind: residential.

Commercial property like offices, shops, warehouses, barely features in the average Indian portfolio.

Some investors argue that that might be a mistake. Commercial real estate offers higher rental yields, steadier returns, and in some cases, fewer headaches than the family flat.

And today, you don't even need a crore to get in. REITs, SM REITs, and AIFs have opened the door to smaller investors. But the office isn't a free lunch. The risks are real, and they're different from anything most Indian investors are used to.

This is a read-aloud version of this story from The Ken.
