Kartik Soni began as an electrical engineer with dreams bigger than blueprints. Life changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which opened new entrepreneurial doors for him. While the world paused, he observed what was broken and started fixing it. That’s how Swara Group was born, with a focus on real estate redevelopment. Today, Swara is known for tackling complex projects in Ahmedabad’s old neighbourhoods. But for Kartik, it’s not just construction. It’s city-building with purpose and people.
Redevelopment is Emotional, Not Just Commercial
Most developers only see land; Kartik sees memories attached to each home. He says, “We don’t deal with businessmen; we deal with families and emotions.” During one project, he answered 600 residents’ questions live, one-on-one. Winning trust wasn’t a sales pitch; it was speaking with honesty and heart.
His vision is clear: “Juna sarnama par navu ghar aapvu che.”
Redevelopment is not just better buildings; it’s financial help and upliftment together. Swara ensures residents move into bigger, better, well-planned homes. Old 1BHKs become 2BHKs, and 2BHKs become 3BHKs with amenities. From gardens and gyms to proper parking, it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
A Risky Business Backed by Ethics
Redevelopment is filled with financial, legal, and emotional risk. It involves FSI management, development agreements, and complex tax structures. Jantri rates, premiums, property taxes — every detail demands sharp decisions. Swara pays attention to it all, but never at the cost of society. Kartik, along with the whole Swara group, puts Society first.
Kartik strongly believes, “Nothing wrong to society should be done.” That’s why ethics is the backbone of every Swara project. His team knows: even one wrong move can cost public trust. He has made his entire team efficient, accountable, and heart-led.
He says, “These projects are like my babies. I give them my hand touch.”
Growth With Speed and Substance
Instead of saying “we’ve been working for years,” Kartik says, “look what we did. in just a few years. Swara has completed 12 big projects in a very short period. There are seven more ongoing projects, with another 5–6 in the pipeline. So far, 18+ projects are already RERA-approved, a milestone only a few achieve. Their flagship work includes the Sakal Apartment redevelopment in Naranpura. They are rebuilding eight towers, delivering 376 premium residential units. What was once modest housing is becoming a landmark urban address.
Swara is actively reshaping areas like Paldi, Usmanpura, Ambawadi, Navrangpura, and Parimal Garden.
From low-rise societies to vertical living, the urban skyline is changing fast.
Premium Focus in a Price-Sensitive Market
People are price-conscious but never ready to compromise on quality. Swara understands that and designs premium redevelopment projects accordingly. Each home is built using the best materials and planning. They follow the Indian Green Building Council standards for sustainable practices. Even in cost-sensitive areas, Swara offers top-tier amenities and finishing. From clubhouse facilities to kids’ zones, lifestyle is always a priority. Their goal is to deliver premium living without overpricing or shortcuts.
Learning, Leading, and Listening
Kartik’s leadership style is grounded in learning from everyone.
He believes, “Take the good from all, ignore their flaws.”
He trains his team to speak with empathy, not ego. Each project becomes a collective journey, not a one-man show. He also credits failure and hardship in his early career. From working low-pay jobs to building a premium brand — it’s been a leap. But through it all, he stayed curious, ethical, and committed to improvement.
Kartik Soni has been awarded prestigious awards and has been recognised by various media platforms too. But the kind of person he is, he believes-
“Real award and reward for me and my team is being recognized by people we work with, and the projects being appreciated by the residents, them being satisfied with our work is the greatest appreciation.” – Kartik Soni, Founder and Chairman, Swara Group
Ahmedabad’s Future in Real Estate
Swara Group is not just building towers — they’re shaping Ahmedabad’s tomorrow. As population density rises, thoughtful redevelopment is becoming the need of the hour. Kartik believes the city is evolving fast and needs planned, sustainable growth.
He even mentions the vision for the 2036 Ahmedabad Olympics. “Urban planning starts now — we can’t wait for the future to arrive.” With that mindset, Swara is leading by example — combining speed, ethics, and empathy.
