Today, Desai Homes stands as one of the most reputed and trusted names in Kerala’s real estate sector. Desai Group began our journey in 1952, under the leadership of R. M. Desai, as a paper and board retail business. Over the years, the Desai Group expanded to become South India’s largest paper and board distribution network, becoming an industry leader, with extensive networks for sourcing and importing paper from China and Indonesia. 

In 1992, under the leadership of V. R. Desai, Desai Group established its real estate and construction division under the banner of Desai Homes, in partnership with P. G. Antony. Desai Homes started with our first project, DD Village, in Kochi. Building on our strong presence in the city and acquiring the title of one of the builders in Kochi, Desai Homes began expanding our property development across Kerala, at Trivandrum, Calicut, Kottayam, Thrissur, and Thiruvalla, with future plans to launch projects in Coimbatore. 

Over the last 33 years, Desai Homes has risen in the ranks of Kerala’s real estate sector, with every project adding to its legacy of quality construction, reliability, and excellence in customer satisfaction. Today, Desai Homes has more than 62+ projects with an area covering a total of 8.5 million square feet and accommodating more than 6,800+ satisfied customers in Kerala. What once began with the retail sale of paper and boards has now grown into a reliable and highly respected builder in Kerala.
