A man who’s not just building towers, but curating the future of luxury living in the Middle East. As Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments, Ankur Aggarwal commands over AED 20 billion in assets under management, transforming BNW from a consulting startup into one of the region’s most formidable real estate forces in under three years.
A Chartered Accountant by qualification, Ankur’s journey began in finance, where he honed an analytical edge that would later define his unique approach to development, seeing land not as plots, but as platforms for legacy. His transition to real estate in 2021 was less of a pivot and more of a revelation. By 2024, BNW Developments was born, with strategic moves into Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai, including land acquisitions via BNW Buying and Selling LLC.
Partnering with actor-entrepreneur, Vivek Oberoi, with whom he shares a brother-like bond, Ankur redefined luxury real estate in the Middle East with standout projects like Taj Wellington Mews, which sold 97 units within 24 hours. His achievements include landmark developments, Aqua Arc, FashionTV Acacia, Orvessa, and Pelagia, each reflecting BNW’s signature: design-rich, ROI-intelligent, and culturally resonant. His collaboration with global and cultural giants like FashionTV and IHCL reflects a brand ethos that blends luxury with longevity. Ankur’s projects don’t just offer lifestyle, they offer legacy. Each one is a case study in scale, soul, and speed.
Beyond real estate, Ankur is a proponent of ESG-driven growth. A regular keynote at ICAI, IBPC, and the India Today Conclave, he champions sustainability, inclusivity, and community-driven ecosystems. His work with the ESG Research Foundation, along with sports and skill-development initiatives, reinforces his belief in building progress with purpose. With no project backlog and a team of 400+, BNW under Ankur’s leadership isn’t just constructing skylines, it’s crafting cultural permanence.
His philanthropic drive is as ambitious as his business goals, supporting initiatives in sustainability, education, and community upliftment. BNW continues to redefine luxury across residential, commercial, and industrial developments, it also leaves a deeper imprint, one of enduring value and social responsibility.
