Kanakia Group

Who Are Kanakia

Over three decades ago, Kanakia Group began its operations on a simple premise - to build edifices that went beyond bricks and cement; edifices that rested on pillars of just and principled values, and held strong long after a sale is made. And that is exactly what Kanakia is known for. Integrity to honour every commitment. Endeavour to constantly evolve.

Today, Kanakia Group is a diverse business group spanning sectors such as Real Estate, Hospitality, Entertainment, and Education.

At Kanakia, innovation is a mindset. We strive to create structures that become a benchmark in spaces. Over the years, we have developed over 14.6 million sq. ft. of residential, commercial, entertainment, education, and industrial spaces. After establishing our core business in real estate, in 1997, the group forayed into cinema exhibition under the brand name Cinemax, redesigning single-screen theatres into modern and technologically advanced multiplexes for a more luxurious viewing experience.

With an interest to promote social progress, in 2002, we ventured into the field of education with RBK Education Institution. To date, the group has six schools across Mumbai and Gujarat, offering the best-in-class infrastructure, and an advanced approach to teaching methodology.

In 2010, the group launched Hotel Courtyard by Marriott, marking its entry into Hospitality. This hotel, within a short span of time, has earned the reputation of being one of the leading Business Hotels in Mumbai. Today, we operate three hotels across Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Goa.

Over the years, the Kanakia Group has been honoured with several prestigious awards such as India's Most Promising Brand, CNBC Awaaz CRISIL CREDAI Real Estate Award, Commercial Property of the Year, International Property Award, and MCHI Property Award, to name a few.
