MAIA Estates Enters South Bengaluru with the Launch of The Seven in Basavanagudi
MAIA Estates, one of Bengaluru’s foremost residential developers, today announced the launch of The Seven — twin towers coming up on a 3.67-acre parcel in Basavanagudi, South Bengaluru. The development is planned to comprise 128 exclusive 4 BHK+ residences across 36 storeys, spanning approximately 6 lakh sq. ft. of saleable area, with completion targeted by 2029.
The Seven is being developed through a joint development agreement, backed by Rs.120 crore in institutional funding from Arnya Real Estate Fund – Debt and marks MAIA’s entry into South Bengaluru — a micro-market defined by limited new premium supply, end-user-driven demand, and long-term price stability with a track record of steady capital appreciation.
Guided by seven elemental principles — Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Space, Integrity, and Community — the development reflects these through its planning, landscape, and shared spaces. The development features sky decks, landscaped wellness areas, water features, and sunlit gardens. The Seven emphasises low-density living, with homes designed for natural light, cross-ventilation, and privacy. Large-format 4 BHK+ residences respond to a clear shift toward larger, end-user-driven homes in Bengaluru’s residential market, with architecture and interiors thoughtfully developed in collaboration with international and Indian design studios.
The Seven is designed primarily for end-users, including HNI and UHNI buyers, senior professionals, NRIs, and existing homeowners looking to remain in the same neighbourhood, with access to homes offering greater spatial quality, design clarity, and attention to detail. Located in Basavanagudi, one of Bengaluru’s most revered residential areas, the building will benefit from well-developed social infrastructure and central connectivity, with proximity to Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Gandhi Bazaar, and well-connected metro access within close reach. New supply of large-format homes in this part of the city remains limited, creating a clear gap in the market, with most development driven through smaller redevelopments, positioning The Seven as a low-density offering within a largely built-up urban fabric.
Mayank Ruia, Founder & CEO of MAIA Estates, said, “The Seven is a very considered foray into South Bengaluru. Basavanagudi is a location with a strong sense of community and continuity, and one where supply is inherently constrained, and expectations around design and space are higher. It is not a market where scale alone works. Developments like this need a more deliberate approach, with a focus on planning, proportions, and getting the fundamentals right. Our intent here has been to create homes that are well thought through and will remain relevant over time.”
The Seven builds on MAIA Estates’ established portfolio of developments across North Bengaluru and the Central Business District, including 27 Summit, The Beacon, Pelican Gardens, and Pelican Grove, where the brand has consistently set benchmarks in design excellence, delivery timelines, and resident experience. With 11.5 million square feet currently in various stages of planning and construction, this development marks a step in MAIA’s expansion into South Bengaluru.

New Terminal at Udaipur Airport Nears Completion; Plans Underway for Overseas Flights
Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu recently announced in the Rajya Sabha that a new terminal building at Udaipur International Airport, Rajasthan, is nearing completion and is scheduled to be inaugurated later this year. Discussions with airlines are underway to launch overseas flights from the city.
Replying to a question from BJP MP Chunnilal Garasiya on international services, Naidu said the new terminal is under construction and will be ready soon, with plans to start international operations in the near future.
The minister highlighted the growth of the Indian aviation sector over the last 11 years, noting a significant increase in the number of airports, aircraft, and passengers. This expansion has also created a growing demand for skilled workforce in the sector.
Naidu detailed that Ground Handling Agencies (GHAs) are responsible for recruiting and training personnel in areas such as passenger handling, baggage management, ramp operations, safety procedures, emergency response, customer service, and operation of specialised equipment. Training is provided through structured classroom sessions, on-the-job learning, and periodic refresher programs.
These skill development initiatives, aligned with broader government policies, are conducted nationwide in collaboration with airlines, training institutes, and other airport service providers to ensure adequate workforce capacity across the aviation sector.
