Ms. Garima Jajoo Honoured at the 6th Realty+ Women Icon Awards 2026

The House of Shubhashish is pleased to share that Ms. Garima Jajoo, Director of People and Culture, has been named Woman Entrepreneur of the Year at the 6th Realty+ Women Icon Awards 2026. The recognition was conferred at a ceremony held on Thursday, 28th May 2026, at the Novotel International Airport, Mumbai. The award celebrates women leaders who are shaping the direction of Indian real estate through innovation, sound leadership, and meaningful contribution to the sector.

The Realty+ Women Icon Awards have become one of the established platforms for acknowledging the role of women in an industry that is steadily becoming more inclusive. Each year, a jury reviews a wide field of candidates and selects those whose work reflects both achievement and purpose. For Ms. Jajoo, the honour recognises the people-first culture she has helped build at The House of Shubhashish over the past few years.

A People-First Approach to Leadership

At the heart of Ms. Jajoo's work is a simple conviction, which she often expresses in her own words: that excellence is a choice made by the people an organisation chooses to empower. Guided by this belief, she has placed culture, fairness, and employee wellbeing at the centre of the company's growth, treating them as foundations rather than afterthoughts.

This approach is reflected in the systems she has put in place. From transparent communication channels and regular listening sessions to clear and ethical policies on hiring, appraisal, and grievance handling, the focus has remained on building a workplace where employees feel heard and valued. The result is an environment in which trust and accountability sit comfortably together.

A Workplace Recognised Nationally

Under her stewardship, The House of Shubhashish has earned recognition as one of the country's leading workplaces. The organisation has been certified as a Great Place to Work for three consecutive years, and it has been acknowledged among India's Best Workplaces in Real Estate as well as among the Best Workplaces for Women. These distinctions carry weight in a sector that has only recently begun to embrace people-first practices, and they reflect the consistency of the culture that Ms. Jajoo has helped shape.

What stands behind these recognitions is a steady, everyday commitment to the people of the organisation. Learning and development, structured induction, and continuous feedback have become part of the way the company works, so that each team member is supported in their growth from the very first day.

Advancing Women in Real Estate

A particular focus of Ms. Jajoo's leadership has been to widen the presence of women within the organisation and across the sector. She has worked to create fair growth pathways, equal pay for equal work, and merit-based appraisals, so that women can build long-term careers with security and confidence.

Her vision for the road ahead is straightforward. As she has expressed it, real estate has long been built by men, and her aim is to shape an organisation where it is built equally by women, through inclusive hiring, fair growth, and leadership development designed with them in mind.

Looking Ahead

For The House of Shubhashish, this recognition arrives at a stage of thoughtful expansion. As the organisation prepares to widen its presence into new markets, the culture, governance, and talent frameworks built under Ms. Jajoo's leadership are designed to travel with it, keeping the workplace consistent and people-centred wherever the brand grows.

The House of Shubhashish extends its sincere appreciation to Realty+ and the jury for this honour. It also thanks its employees, partners, and well-wishers, whose trust and dedication have made this milestone possible. The recognition stands as an encouragement to continue building a workplace where every individual, and especially every woman, can realise their full potential.
