Ep. 568 | Building a City from Scratch: The Visionary Behind Hiranandani Gardens ~ Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani.
In this episode of the Billion Dollar Founder series, Chris Reynolds sits down with Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani, co-founder of the Hiranandani Group — one of India’s most respected real estate developers. From teaching in a small Mumbai classroom to creating Hiranandani Gardens, a world-class integrated township, and building Asia's largest hyperscale data centers, Dr. Hiranandani's entrepreneurial journey is nothing short of legendary.
He shares the vision that inspired his projects, the roadblocks he faced (including financial struggles and legal battles), and why community building is central to sustainable success. Along the way, Dr. Hiranandani dives deep into India’s business culture, his philosophy of long-term relationships, and the powerful concept of Jugaad — India’s unique brand of creative problem-solving.
This episode is a powerful reminder that real legacy comes not just from profit, but from persistence, purpose, and people.
