Obsidian Realtors, private real estate advisory

India's most valuable properties rarely reach the open market.

Our work is to make sure the right clients reach them first, and that the paper behind every transaction holds.

Private Mandates

View all

The private book, by asset class. None of it is advertised, and the detail travels only after an introduction.

Lutyens' Delhi

Available on request

The Bungalow Zone and the roads around it. Nothing here is listed. Ownership is narrow and transactions are rare, so most of the work is knowing who might sell before they have finished deciding.

  • Lutyens' Bungalow Zone
  • Prithviraj Road
  • Amrita Shergill Marg
  • Tees January Marg

Ultra Luxury Apartments

Available on request

Full floors and large format apartments on Golf Course Road and in central Delhi. We work from what has registered in each tower rather than from what is being asked, which is usually a different number.

  • The Camellias
  • The Aralias
  • The Magnolias
  • Central Delhi

Builder Floors

Available on request

Independent floors in the DLF phases and the South Delhi colonies. Stilt plus four changed the economics of every plot in Gurugram. What separates a good floor from an average one is frontage, facing, and what the neighbour is allowed to build.

  • DLF Phases 1 to 5
  • Vasant Vihar
  • Anand Niketan
  • Shanti Niketan
  • Panchsheel Park

Residential Plots

Available on request

Plotted land in the licensed colonies of Gurugram and in South Delhi. The diligence is not the same as an apartment. Land use, licence status and what the master plan permits on the parcel next door decide the value.

  • DLF Phases
  • Sushant Lok
  • South Delhi colonies
  • Licensed sectors

Commercial Plots and Land

Available on request

Commercial and SCO plots, and larger land parcels along the expressway corridors. Underwritten on permitted FAR, access and the covenant of whoever will eventually occupy it, rather than on the brochure.

  • Dwarka Expressway
  • Golf Course Extension
  • Southern Peripheral Road
  • Noida Expressway

Farmhouses

Available on request

The gated green belt south of the city. Title is the whole transaction here, and a great many of these change hands without ever being advertised.

  • Chhatarpur
  • Westend Greens
  • Radhey Mohan Drive
  • Bijwasan

Projects we are actively working as an authorised channel partner, with allocation ahead of the public counter.

Three Desks

Obsidian was built in Dubai and brought home to Delhi. We advise from wherever the decision is being made, and we handle the parts that are difficult from abroad: power of attorney, remittance, and someone standing in the sub registrar's office on your behalf.

  • Delhi NCR

    Principal desk

    Gurugram, Lutyens' Delhi, Vasant Vihar, the farmhouse belt, Noida and the Dwarka Expressway corridor.

  • Dubai

    International desk

    Where the firm began. NRI and family office capital, and access to Dubai inventory for clients who want both markets.

  • London

    Representative desk

    UK resident Indian families buying at home, and cross border structuring for buyers holding assets in both places.

The Founder

Sidhharrth Rana

Founder and Managing Director

Obsidian began as an asset management firm in Dubai. Real estate arrived because clients asked for it, and because once we started underwriting property the way we underwrote everything else, it became obvious how much of this market runs on hearsay.

He works on every mandate personally. There is no desk between you and the person who signs off on the advice.
