About
A national chapter of a federation
that has been at this since 1951.
FIABCI — the Fédération Internationale des Professions Immobilières — was founded in Paris in 1951 as a business network for everyone who works in real estate. FIABCI-India has been its chapter here since 2016, run from Bengaluru.
Who we are
A worldwide business network, not a trade body.
FIABCI exists so that real estate professionals can gain knowledge, share information and do business with one another across borders. Its membership spans more than forty professions of the built environment, from developers and brokers to valuers, architects, lawyers, financiers and public institutions.
The federation is a member of the International Ethics Standards Coalition and a signatory to the ten principles of the UN Global Compact. It obtained Roster status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1971 and Special consultative status in 1996 — which is how the industry’s perspective reaches global policy on sustainable development.

Defend, at a worldwide level, the collective, moral and professional interests of its members.
Let participants in the real estate industry improve the quality and competitiveness of their work by sharing knowledge, information and business opportunities locally, nationally and internationally.
Provide direct access to international real estate contacts and business opportunities.
Help improve the working relationship between the public and private sectors, for the benefit of society.
Facilitate the exchange of information on the market, economic, corporate, governmental and technological conditions affecting the industry.
Assist in cultural and educational exchanges among real estate professionals of different countries.
Who is in the room
Forty professions, one industry.

- Architects
- Associations
- Brokers

- General services
- Investors
- Managers
- Operators

“India’s real estate market is one of the fastest-growing in the world and is expected to remain a major contributor to the country’s economy over the next decade.”
Growth is being driven by urbanisation, rising incomes, infrastructure development, government initiatives, and increasing demand from both end-users and investors. India is also a global hub for IT and Global Capability Centres, creating sustained demand for Grade A office spaces.
Residential demand is expected to remain strong, commercial leasing should continue to benefit from global businesses expanding in India, and infrastructure-led development is likely to unlock new growth corridors. Cities with strong employment opportunities and improving connectivity are expected to see the highest appreciation in property values over the coming years.
The long-term outlook for India’s real estate sector is positive, with increased transparency due to the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act.

Membership is held through FIABCI-India and carries across all 83 countries.
