=============================================

Vishal Bhargava is a real estate educator and former journalist who left banking to say what property brokers won't. He breaks down what homes in Mumbai, Gurgaon and Bangalore are actually worth on YouTube and X, and called Gurgaon a "house of cards" a year before its brokers turned bearish. He treats real estate as due diligence, not broker slogans.

In this episode, Vinamre and Vishal discuss:

• Bandra's scarcity premium and crumbling infrastructure
• How DLF, Hiranandani and Prestige became your municipality
• Building a city from scratch and India's missing town squares
• Killing a city (Kolkata's unions) and why Thane could overtake Mumbai
• Marine Drive's rent-controlled flats and Parsi colonies as planning masterclass
• Magarpatta's farmer-owned city and "creator zones"
• Rigged real estate content and brokers turning bearish on Gurgaon after him
