Happy Home Loan Podcast powered by Aditya Birla Housing Finance Ltd.

We’re excited to bring you a new deep-dive episode of the Happy Home Loan Podcast featuring Raghuveer Malik, Co-founder and CEO of Ambak, where he shares insights on housing finance and real estate trends in India.

In this conversation, Raghuveer explains why India continues to see strong home-buying demand, supported by a low mortgage-to-GDP ratio, urbanization, nuclear families, and infrastructure growth. He breaks down what truly drives affordability, including property prices, income growth, interest rates, and government support.

The episode also explores how buyers should think about home ownership as a long-term decision based on personal goals, rather than short-term speculation. Raghuveer highlights how reduced unsold inventory, stronger developers, and regulatory transparency are shaping a more stable market.

We also dive into the role of fintech in simplifying the home loan journey through digitization, better data, and flexible loan options. From first-time buyers to millennials, Gen Z, and self-employed individuals, this episode offers practical insights to help you make informed decisions.
