Goa's Second Home Market Thrives with 5-8% Rental Yields and Demand Rises for Gated Villas: Savills India

Goa's Second Home Market Thrives with 5-8% Rental Yields and Demand Rises for Gated Villas: Savills India

12th June 2024: Goa has emerged as a destination of choice for second home buyers owing to high rental yields ranging from 5-8% approximately. Savills India has witnessed a decisive trend where individuals are choosing gated villas along the coastal belt, with sizes ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 sq. ft. for 3-4 bedroom units. Plot sizes for these gated villa projects vary from 190 to 400 sq. mtr. Reputed developers in Goa include Isprava Homes, Vianaar Homes, Veera Developers, Bennet & Bernard and Acron Homes, Ashray, Bennet & Bernard and so on.

With the advent of asset management firms and hospitality operators managing individual homes, buyers for second homes are not only end buyers but retail investors seeking both rental returns and capital appreciation. Also, at one point Goa was primarily known as a retirement destination for older generations or just a holiday destination. However, recent trends show a shift - younger professionals, especially from major cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore and other prominent cities are now moving to Goa. These new residents often work in creative fields or are digital nomads seeking a better work-life balance.

The supply of villas in Goa has shifted, with the standard size decreasing from 500 sq meters to 250 sq meters over the past five years due to rising land prices. Premium views remain desirable but scarce, and investment motives now often outweigh end-use objectives. While beach proximity is still preferred, locations like Assagaon and Siolim attract lifestyle-conscious buyers who prioritise address and quality over beach access.

The average home size in prominent locations has fallen to 300 sq meters, while emerging areas still offer larger properties. There are two main buyer categories: investor-aspirational and end-user, including professionals, industrialists and those seeking capital gains deployment.

Vacation rentals in popular micro markets yield high rental income, providing competitive ROI and steady income for investors. Demand for private villas, favoured by families and groups, is rising. Savills India's research indicates that buyers are primarily individuals aged 30-60, including both salaried professionals and businessmen. These buyers are attracted by rental returns and capital appreciation, achieving gross yields of 10-12% per annum for wealth diversification. Today, it can be noted that premium gated villas in locations like Assagao and Siolim are priced equivalent to the homes in grade A locations in South Delhi and South Mumbai.

Shveta Jain, MD, Residential Services, Savills India said “As part of Goa Home Fest 3.0, we are offering a platform for sellers to showcase their best homes and for buyers to search for the choicest homes basis their requirement. We have curated the showcase to include ready-to-move-in and under-construction homes in Goa, covering both premium coastal locations like Anjuna, Vagator, Candolim and quieter ones like Nachinola, Moira and others in North Goa. The showcase also features independent bungalows and Portuguese homes, which highlight the history and culture of Goa. The fest is a great opportunity for both active and passive searchers to fine their dream first or second home or to fulfill their investment objectives.”

As Goa continues to grow and attract tourists, its commercial property market has also been on the rise. The combination of work and leisure makes it an ideal location for setting up commercial office space in Goa, especially for sectors like hospitality, technology and creative services. The appeal of the commercial property in Goa lies not only in their potential rental yields but also in their long-term value appreciation. As the state's economy diversifies and its infrastructure improves, the demand for commercial property for sale in Goa is expected to grow, making it a favourable investment choice.

Canon India Enhances Its Apprenticeship Training Program Under Skill India Initiative in Collaboration with Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing

Canon India Enhances Its Apprenticeship Training Program Under Skill India Initiative in Collaboration with Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing (JIM)

Further solidifies commitment to empowering the youth in the customer service industry 

Chennai, 19 June 2024: In a significant step towards advancing skill development and empowering the youth, Canon India today announced the enhancement of its Apprenticeship Training Program in collaboration with the Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing (JIM). Originally launched in 2015 as part of the Skill India initiative, Canon India’s Apprenticeship Program annually onboards 30-35 apprentices across various locations in India. Now, through this new collaboration, Canon aims to further strengthen and standardize the program, centered at the Canon Technical Excellence Centre (CTEC) in Noida.

The Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing represents a collaborative effort between Japan and India, established under a 2016 MOU between Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and India’s Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. Canon’s newly enhanced Apprenticeship Training Program with JIM offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip engineering graduates and diploma holders with essential skills. The new program brings with it a more structured framework, facilitating standardized training at the CTEC facility and thereby enabling increased opportunities for in-person collaboration and allows apprentices to learn the Japanese methods of service orientation more effectively.

Mr. Manabu Yamazaki, President & CEO, Canon India, stated, “Talent is a critical contributing factor to the success of an industry, and Canon is committed to empowering the youth of India with relevant and cutting-edge skills. Recognizing the transformative power of education and skill development, the Apprenticeship Training Program aims to equip young engineers with the latest technical expertise while also instilling in them the values of innovation and excellence. Through our partnership with the Japan-India Institute of Manufacturing, we are striving to nurture future experts who will drive progress in the service and manufacturing sectors. The program, designed by experts in the business, reflects our commitment to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ultimately contributing to the growth of India.”

Empowering the Next Generation of Engineers 

Canon India’s Apprenticeship Training Program, targeting both engineering graduates and diploma holders, now features a comprehensive, year-long curriculum. The program unfolds in three structured phases: beginning with an induction phase that emphasizes elementary learnings such as soft skills and system skills; progressing to on-the-job training that combines product skills with service practices; and culminating in advanced training focused on product maintenance through final assessments. 

Over the course of one year, trainees will gain knowledge and experience in key areas such as Kaizen, 5S, product principles, customer service techniques, and communication skills. The exhaustive curriculum includes training on customer service processes, Canon’s products, Japanese philosophies, computer/IT skills covering network basics and software applications, and technical skills for troubleshooting entry and mid-level products. This extensive training involves 4 weeks of online learning, 4 weeks of classroom instruction, and 40 weeks of on-the-job training. Upon completing the program, Canon will maintain a talent pool for potential internal hiring and provide opportunities for apprentices to join service partners across India, ensuring robust career prospects.

Ms. Shikha Rai, Senior Vice President of HR & IT, Canon India, added, “The Apprenticeship Program at Canon India is being further strengthened under the JIM initiative. For the young technical workforce joining us under the program; we ensure that they develop into confident and competent professionals with a good foundation of organizational culture, product knowledge, customer handling skills and hands-on servicing skills. The Apprenticeship Program not only makes them job-ready but also aims towards their holistic development by instilling Canon's corporate values like the San-ji Spirit of ‘Three Self’s’—self-motivation, self-management, and self-awareness and Japanese business practices like punctuality, Kaizen, Horenso, 5S, PDCA etc. This initiative underscores our commitment to nurturing talent and creating future leaders.”

Mr. Rahul Goel, Senior Director of Service & Engineering Centre, Canon India, emphasized, “In the service industry, a skilled workforce is the backbone of customer delight, thereby enabling exceptional after sales experiences for customers. Canon’s specially curated and enhanced apprenticeship training program in collaboration with JIM aims to provide young engineers with immersive, hands-on training alongside experienced Canon engineers stationed across India. This direct engagement allows apprentices to refine their technical expertise, build robust customer service skills, and also gain comprehensive knowledge of the Canon product portfolio. We are confident that graduates from this program will be exceptionally well-prepared to excel in their careers.”

Selection Criteria for the Program

The program will involve graduates and diploma holders from the past three years, including the current year. Eligible candidates will include students from Engineering Diploma/Degree pass outs (Electrical/Electronics).

MGM Healthcare Performs Historic Back-to-Back Heart and Lung Transplants

MGM Healthcare Performs Historic Back-to-Back Heart and Lung Transplants

 ~ Dr. KR Balakrishnan and team have performed four heart and one dual lung transplant within 30 hours.

Chennai, June 19, 2024: MGM Healthcare is proud to announce yet another landmark achievement in medical history with the completion of a marathon of heart and lung transplant surgeries, where four heart transplants and one bilateral lung transplant were successfully performed within 30 hours. Dr. K R Balakrishnan, Director of the Institute of Heart and Lung Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support, MGM Healthcare, and Dr. Suresh Rao KG, Co-Director of the Institute, led a dedicated team that rose to the challenge, seamlessly performing these transplants.

This extraordinary accomplishment highlights our hospital's unparalleled capabilities in organ transplantation. MGM Healthcare stands as the only hospital in India capable of performing multiple organ transplants consecutively. This achievement required exemplary readiness and coordination among various departments, including surgical suites, organ transplant units, cardiology, imaging, ultrasound, intensive care, and nursing.

Details of the transplants:

1) A 60-year-old patient, Mr. Surendra Kumar (name changed), underwent a heart transplant on May 25, 2024. The organ from a deceased donor was transported from a Chennai-based hospital. The heart was harvested at 1:10 PM and brought to MGM Healthcare at 1:50 PM.

2) A 50-year-old patient, Mr. Radhakrishnan (name changed), underwent a heart transplant on May 25, 2024. The organ was from a deceased donor from Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital. The heart was harvested at 10:52 PM and brought to MGM Healthcare at 11:05 PM.

3) A 67-year-old patient, Mr. Sailesh (name changed), underwent a bilateral lung transplantation on May 25, 2024. The organ was from a deceased donor from Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH). The lungs were harvested at 10:52 PM and brought to MGM Healthcare at 11:05 PM (same donor as above).

4) A 40- year-old patient, Mr. Mohammed Aslam (name changed), underwent a heart transplant on May 26, 2024. The organ was from a brain-dead donor from MGM Healthcare. The organ was harvested at 11:44 AM, and the transplant was performed shortly after.

5) A 50-year-old patient, Mr. Nitish Singh (name changed), underwent a heart transplant on May 26, 2024. The organ was from a deceased donor from a Coimbatore-based hospital. The heart was harvested at 2:45 PM, airlifted from Coimbatore at 4:00 PM, and reached MGM Healthcare by 5:15 PM.

Dr. K.R. Balakrishnan, Director, Institute of Heart and Lung Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support, MGM Healthcare, stated, "This achievement was made possible only by the relentless efforts of our multidisciplinary team. From transplant coordinators to the surgical team, nurses, and post-operative care units, every member played a crucial role in ensuring the success of these five complex transplants. Being prepared to perform back-to-back surgeries is a strength in itself; the pressure is immense, especially as we were receiving donor organs that matched five of our patients on the waitlist. Every second counts, and the margin for error is virtually non-existent. Each surgery is a lifeline for a patient waiting for a second chance at life, and each case comes with its own complexities, from the donor-recipient match to the recipient's physical and mental demands."

Dr. KG. Suresh Rao, Co-Director, Institute of Heart and Lung Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support, MGM Healthcare, “Our unit has done more than 650 heart and lung transplants so far. The timing of donor organ availability is unpredictable. Somehow we got multiple donor matches, and we have completed five continuous transplants within 30 hours; this time it was a marathon surgery. It requires a dedicated team with full commitment, informed team coordination, and good infrastructure; all this is present at MGM Healthcare, and we could achieve it.” 

Mr. Harish Manian, Group CEO of MGM Healthcare, commented, “It’s not just about the advanced technology and state-of-the-art facilities, but the exceptional talent and unwavering dedication of our doctors at MGM Healthcare. Their ability to maintain peak performance under such intense pressure speaks volumes about their professionalism and commitment to patient care. Heart and lung transplantation is among the most complex and delicate procedures in medicine, requiring unparalleled skill, precision, and dedication. Each successful transplant is a beacon of hope and has a direct impact on the lives of patients and their families. This remarkable feat exemplifies our hospital's mission to deliver cutting-edge, compassionate care. It’s moments like these that highlight the profound difference we can make in the world, one life at a time. Our mission at MGM Healthcare is to push the boundaries of what's possible in healthcare; heart and lung transplants are a perfect example of this. The dedication and skill of our medical professionals inspire us all to strive for excellence, ensuring that we provide the best possible care for those who need it most.”

MGM Healthcare facilitated the transportation of five donor organs via dedicated green corridors, ensuring timely arrival crucial for the patients' survival. This effort was supported by local law enforcement and traffic management authorities, allowing for rapid and unhindered passage from the donor hospitals to MGM Healthcare.

This remarkable accomplishment sets a new benchmark in transplant surgery and showcases the exceptional skill, endurance, and dedication of the team led by Dr. K R Balakrishnan, Dr. KG Suresh Rao, Dr. Ravikumar and Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy. MGM Healthcare continues to be a leader in heart and lung transplants in India, having completed more than 650 heart and lung transplants with success rates on par with the finest medical centers in the world.
