We are part of the Wadhawan Group, which was founded by the late Mr. Dewan Kuldip Singh Wadhawan in 1973. The Wadhawan Group was founded for the purpose of land aggregation, land management, land development and construction of residential, commercial and retail units, townships and infrastructure. Initially, the Wadhawan Group was also involved in the marketing of residential, commercial and industrial plots. In 1973 the first residential building named "Kapil Kunj" at Vasai was completed by the Wadhawan Group. In 1978, all the projects of the Wadhawan Group came under the brand name of "Dheeraj."
