For decades, Jitendra Virwani’s name has been synonymous with the engine rooms of India’s corporate ascent—the sprawling, world-class office parks that house global titans like Google and IBM. As the undisputed king of the country’s commercial real estate, he built an empire on institutional precision and a grand scale. But to focus solely on his commercial dominance is to miss his most audacious act yet: Turning that same meticulous, empire-building mindset to the rarefied world of ultra-luxury living, crafting private sanctuaries for India’s new elite.
Foregoing a traditional university path for the school of hard knocks, he started his real estate journey in 1993, building an empire that now commands a portfolio of over 62 million sq ft. His masterstroke, and the company’s core USP, was pioneering the large-scale, integrated office park concept in India. This culminated in the creation of India’s first and largest publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trust, Embassy Office Parks, in partnership with global giant Blackstone. This venture, with a market capitalisation of approximately ₹30,000 crore, not only unlocked immense value but also brought unprecedented transparency and global standards to the Indian market.
Now, Virwani is deploying that same institutional DNA to redefine luxury residential living. His approach is not merely about lavish interiors; it’s about creating globally benchmarked, service-rich environments through branded residences. The jewel in this crown is the Four Seasons Private Residences at Embassy ONE in Bengaluru, an architectural marvel that integrates a luxury hotel with palatial private homes.

Here, residents don’t just buy an apartment; they buy into the legendary Four Seasons lifestyle, with 24x7 access to world-class concierge, dining and wellness services. “We are not in the business of selling real estate, but of selling a global lifestyle,” Virwani noted in a recent interview.
Properties like the sprawling villas at Embassy Boulevard, a gated community for the C-suite, and the residences at Embassy ONE have seen exceptional capital appreciation, often outperforming the market.
Embassy’s projects are known to be home to top-tier industrialists, tech billionaires and prominent figures from the world of sports.
With a net worth estimated at over ₹16,000 crore, Virwani’s legacy is already cast in stone. By seamlessly blending commercial sagacity with a passion for luxurious living—he is an avid equestrian and owns a leading international riding school—he is not just building properties; he is crafting the future of India’s urban elite.
