Ratnamala Swain: Residential Towers Showcasing Exclusive Designs & Architecture
Ratnamala Swain
Director
Please give a brief account about the journey of DN Pallaciya and its brand persona & what it ultimately represents.
DN Pallaciya was conceived on a bow tie shaped plot. While one part was larger, the entry side smaller. We decided to turn this to our advantage, the main Towers and Clubhouse were placed in the larger portion and we placed the 4-bedroom tall tower and an Iconic Studio Tower at the entry of the project. We also initiated a unique campaign – ‘Are you Invited’. This had two fold advantage we were only giving preview presentation by appointment and it generated lots of curiosity in the market. This concept was a first of its kind in these parts. People still talk about this campaign till date.
Kindly give a brief account about the company’s trending top-notch residential and commercial projects.
The Company has always been a trailblazer, be it concepts, designs etc across sectors. Some of our projects are DN Regalia Mall, INOX cinema, Fine Dining and Food Courts. We also introduced Taj Vivanta to the state. In residential sector, apart from DN Pallaciya, we had introduced a very successful child centric projectDN Fairytale which is now nearing completion. Seeing its success, we have launched another project DN Fairytale Extension in the same vicinity. We are also coming up with a very exclusive ultra modern & ultra luxury residential project in the heart of the city at Saheed Nagar which we are ready to launch in Feb, 23.
More new projects are already on the final stages of the drawing board. Our clients and the market in general are keenly awaiting these new offerings.
Tell us about the company’s approach in delivering cosmic & material advantages to
residents
The construction of this project requires very intense planning. We have hired the services of best architects, structure, landscape & MEP consultants to design the project keeping in mind the need of city and prospective buyers. We are using modern technology and new age materials to deliver a world class project in a time bound manner. We are a customer centric company and try to introduce the best amenities and designs for the benefit of our clients. We believe in building a long-term relationship with our clients, associates and other stakeholders.
Could you take us through the plethora of amenities that gives residents a taste of world-class living?
We have taken advantage of each space, may it be on ground or terrace we designed the terraces to become the areas of various activities like basketball, putting greens, barbecue pit, gazebos, jogging track etc. We also decided to further this game changing design by connecting the towers with sky bridges. This way we could connect each of the 4 towers and their amenities and makes them accessible. We also decided to use the ground floors for additional amenities and meeting spaces and introduced Kids Zone and Pet Corner in the society premises. For the stand alone 4 BHK tower we decided to have a double height atrium to give it a feel of hotel lobby and two level of activities like mini theater etc. We also upped the luxury quotient by introducing a helipad on top of this tower.We designed the towers in such a way that from each balcony they will enjoy the front view of lush green area surrounding the premises.
How is the team built and what motivates them the most to ensure client satisfaction?
Our teams were well trained and very structured. The pre-sales team used to connect with specific contacts shared by marketing team or our associates. Appointments were fixed followed by a follow up call and an appointment confirmation message was sent. Our strict instruction was to not pass any miscommunications or do any wrong commitment to the clients. We operated out of a Business Centre and not from our office. This avoided general walkins.

Our GREs gave the presentations and the sales team did the closing and clients appreciated this unique approach. During Pandemic the same process was followed but we came up with a unique- Virtual Sales Presentation VSP. The client could view the presentation from the comfort of their homes and bookings were done and booking amounts were transferred online. This was a first of its kind experience and we were able to close a record number of bookings even during lockdown.
