Thane: A Success Story By Manthan Mehta
August 2022
As second generation real estate developers, we youngsters tend not to play major roles in association-based activities.
The change-over for me and my fellow second generation real estate developers of Thane came during meeting a little over a year ago.
President of CREDAI-MCHI Thane Shri Ajay Ashar, at the meeting of all Gen-Next of Thane real estate developers, proposed the idea of a youth wing. Obviously, we were excited, and amidst the excitement, Ajayji suggested that we needed to make someone responsible for the proper nurturing and growth of the Youth Wing - and, he proposed my name as the First President of the Youth Wing.
I was pleasantly surprised when everyone unanimously agreed. Now, it was all too real. and Ajay ji did what Mentors do best: he hinted that I should concur and thank the audience - which I did. And, it began.
It has largely been Ajayji's Mentoring which helped me carry out my responsibilities. I have held similar positions in the Leo Club, but here, it was in an industry association. With my parents' blessings, and with Mentoring by Ajayji and other seniors, we 'got going'.
My attitude in life is: 'give it my best try'; it was with the same attitude that i took up this task. With my fellow team members, the first task we took up was improving the online presence of CREDAI-MCHI Thane. We tied up with knowledge partners, and held seminars on topics - Income Tax, GST, MahaRERA, Sales and Marketing aspects, to name a few. Also we started with an online knowledge series.
In the initial phase, the Youth Wing played a vital role in marketing activities for Thane's real estate. We also conducted activities with channel partners. The Thane Youth Wing was well represented in all meetings and study tours organised by CREDAI-MCHI Youth Wing.
I would take this opportunity to thank all my youth wing members for supporting me throughout this journey and also our Mentor, IPP Shri Ajay Ashar ji, for placing this trust on me and supporting me always.
Being the First President has been a great feeling. I would like to convey to the incoming Presidents of the Youth Wing that time is limited, the tenure will quickly get over, so be ready to experiment and use the platform to learn. Our seniors are always there to help and whenever need be, I will always be around.
Manthan Mehta,
IPP, Youth Wing, CREDAI-MCHI Thane
