Lehman Brothers filing for bankruptcy will impact those Indian realty operators who have not structured their agreement carefully, according to Mr. Sanjay Dutt, joint Managing Director, Cushman & Wakefield. He does not foresee a situation where projects would get shelved. "Most of the funds that were committed have been delivered." Mr. Dutt is of the opinion that if projects get shelved it is mostly because of changing market dynamics and not because of a lack of liquidity. Experts think that in a bid to de-risk, these investment bankers would trade their private equity placements.

Unfortunately, we were too over-confident to pay attention to what we are getting into. Young blood of India had never seen the downtrend. They are given an impression that Property prices only rise. It can never go down. They earned huge money but did not have brains for investment. They believed what was published in Media. Unfortunately, we are still far away from being realistic intelligent and are still trying to keep our OverConfidence up.

Young blood of India had never seen the downtrend. They are given an impression that Property prices only rise. It can never go down. They earned huge money but did not have brains for investment. They believed what was published in Media.

Unfortunately, we are still far away from being realistic intelligent and are still trying to keep our OverConfidence up. Every country in the world is showcasing caution while setting expectations, where as, we in India, still keep saying:
- We will not have any problem
- Growth rate of 8% is achievable
- ‘Growth story’ remains intact
