First Trump Tower opened in Gurugram

Five years after it entered the Indian real estate market, The Trump Organization, the New York-based business venture of US president Donald Trump, launched its fourth and last residential project in India on Wednesday.

Launched in Gurugram, the latest Trump Tower entails a total development cost of around Rs1,000-1,500 crore and would comprise around 275 luxury homes, Kalpesh Mehta, founder of Tribeca Developers has reportedly said.

In India, The Trump Organization works with local developers via brand licensing agreements and has not made any equity investments. The Trump-branded residences sold in India have been priced in the Rs3.5-15 crore segment.

The project was a joint endeavour between real estate firm M3M India Pvt Ltd and Tribeca Developers, the official representative of The Trump Organization in India.

“For the foreseeable future this is the last residential project in India. The plan right now is to focus on completing sales and deliveries of the other existing projects,” Mehta said.

Apart from the four residential projects, The Trump Organization has an upcoming commercial project in India, which is expected to be launched soon. In 2016, it signed its first commercial office deal with Gurugram-based private equity and real estate firm Ireo.

“No project has been signed after he took over as president (in January 2017),” Mehta said.

Trump adviser Sheri Dillon had said that The Trump Organization would not enter into any new overseas deals while Trump is president, according to a Reuters report published on 11 January, 2017. Trump had also announced that he would “resign from all positions overseeing his hotels, golf courses and hundreds of other businesses and move his assets into a trust..”, Reuters had reported.

Trump has signed five projects with different partners so far including one in Mumbai with Lodha Developers Pvt. Ltd, one with Panchshil Realty in Pune, a residential project in Gurgaon with M3M, an office project with M3M (also in Gurgaon) and Unimark Group in Gurugram.

The total revenue potential of Trump Towers in India stand at around $1.5 billion making India one of the largest markets for The Trump Organization.

The latest is that M3M has stated that it has sold 20 luxury apartments in the Tower for Rs. 150 crore on the very first day itself.

Sesame Workshop teams up The Land of Nod

Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organisation behind Sesame Street and The Land of Nod, a leader in design and home furnishings for the whole family, have teamed up for a new line of decor and furnishings-the Sesame Street for Nod collection.

Featuring an extensive collection of decor, playroom furniture, bedding, apparel, backpacks and toys, the co-designed products bring to life Sesame Street’s beloved Muppet characters through the vintage and artisanal design elements that The Land of Nod is known for. Each piece embodies the furry fun of Sesame Street-capturing the energetic spirit of kids while inspiring their imaginations.

“Sesame Street is all about celebrating everyday moments with your family from sun up to sun down,” said Gabriela Arenas, Vice President of Licensing, North America, Sesame Workshop. “With Nod, a company that shares the magic of childhood through kids’ furniture, bedding, and accessories, we were able to create a collection that reflects the vibrancy of Sesame Street. The collaboration was a natural fit,” she added.

“We took the Sesame Street characters you know and love and brought them to life through a combination of colorful vintage artwork and bold, modern design,” said Danielle Kurtz, Creative Director, Land of Nod. “We wanted it to scream Sesame Street but in a very unique, Nod way. That means you’ll see everything from Elmo’s eyes on a bright red quilt to a shaggy yellow rug that your subconscious will immediately recognize as Big Bird just by nature of the color and texture. We hope it makes kids everywhere smile.”

The Sesame Street for Nod collection is now available at LandofNod.com

Eveready Industries gets into confectionary biz

Eveready Industries India Limited (EIIL), player in the dry cell batteries segment, has now entered the Rs 9,000 crores plus confectionary market through its brand Jollies.

In the first phase, Jollies will be launched in the fruit chew segment. This segment estimated to be around Rs. 400 crores is growing at a rapid pace.

With extensive distribution, being one of EIIL’s key strengths, confectionary would provide an opportunity to not only compliment the current basket of products and give an opportunity to offer value added products to the Company’s vast up-country distribution, Jollies will also provide a quality offering to rural consumers who have limited access to branded confectionary and are dependent on unorganised and often poor quality products.

The company believes that the fast-growing fruit chew segment will double in the next 3 to 4 years and expects to become a significant player in this segment by making this under-penetrated category available across urban and rural India through its robust deep distribution network.

EIIL is working on an asset light model and hopes that it can add significant turnover and profitability with entry into this segment.

Speaking on the occasion, Amritanshu Khaitan, managing director EIIL said, “Jollies is the first step to scale up our FMCG portfolio of products. We believe that priced at Re.1, Jollies Fruit Chew will be an attractive offering to Indian consumers who prefer healthier choices. The product being launched has a high percentage of natural fruit pulp, making it a preferred healthier option to pure sugar candy. Candies are a mass market product and can be carried in the Eveready vans reaching a million outlets. This brings in a major competitive advantage for us and we believe we can become a major player in the fast growing confectionery market in the next 3-5 years with only investments required for branding.”
