According to real estate consultants Knight Frank, 29% of Indian UHNI's wealth is allocated to the purchase of housing. One of the major deals recently struck in Bengaluru was SGK Investment Trust, the family office of Kris Gopalkrishnan, which acquired two properties in the Koramangala area for nearly Rs 760 million. Gopalkrishnan is also a co-founder and former CEO of Infosys.
