Raghu Chowdary, Founder, Mapmybrand

Could you provide an introduction of yourself to our audience?

 

I’m Raghu Chowdary, the founder of Mapmybrand, a premier luxury real estate marketing agency headquartered in Bengaluru, India. My career journey is a blend of two distinct but complementary fields: fashion modeling and luxury real estate. This unique background has helped me build a brand that combines creativity, precision, and an eye for detail to deliver bespoke real estate solutions.

 

 

Could you tell us about your venture Mapmybrand and its services?

 

Mapmybrand is more than just a real estate agency—it’s a personalized approach to luxury property marketing. We cater to clients looking for high-end apartments, villas, and exclusive plots across India, with a focus on making the entire process seamless and rewarding. What sets us apart is our ability to tell each property’s story.

 

Our services include everything from crafting bespoke marketing strategies to coordinating property showcases that reflect the lifestyle these homes represent. We also work closely with developers to position their projects in ways that attract the right audience. For buyers, it’s about understanding their vision of a dream home and ensuring every property we recommend fits that vision perfectly. Ultimately, we’re here to ensure that buying or selling luxury real estate feels effortless and fulfilling.

 

 

How did your fashion background influence your transition to luxury real estate and shape your leadership approach at Mapmybrand?

 

My time in fashion taught me that luxury isn’t just a product—it’s an experience. In fashion, every detail matters, from the way a garment fits to the way it’s presented to an audience. I brought that same mindset into real estate. For instance, when showcasing a luxury villa or apartment, I focus on the ambiance, the details, and how the property makes you feel. It’s not just about selling a house; it’s about selling a lifestyle.

 

As for leadership, fashion gave me a unique lens for creativity and collaboration. I’ve worked with diverse teams and learned the importance of clear communication and trust. At Mapmybrand, I encourage my team to embrace new ideas, think differently, and always prioritize the client’s needs. It’s about blending the precision of business with the artistry of design and storytelling.

 

 

Could you walk us through your professional journey, highlighting the key milestones that shaped your career and achievements?

 

Sure! My career began in fashion, where I learned about branding, luxury, and storytelling. Transitioning to real estate was a bold move, but it felt natural because I was always drawn to design and spaces. Founding Mapmybrand has been the biggest milestone, giving me the freedom to blend my experiences and build a unique niche. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to work on incredible projects and build meaningful relationships with clients and industry leaders.

 

 

Could you share a few key projects that Mapmybrand has successfully completed?

 

There have been so many fulfilling projects! One that stands out is a luxury villa community we marketed, where we were able to bring in buyers who truly appreciated the lifestyle those homes offered. Another would be working on premium apartment complexes that needed a rebrand to align with their upscale image. Seeing these projects succeed and the joy they bring to clients makes it all worthwhile.

 

 

Could you tell us about your areas of expertise and how they have contributed to your success?

 

My strengths are in branding and understanding people. Whether it’s positioning a property to attract the right buyers or building lasting relationships with clients, I’ve always prioritized connecting on a personal level. I also have a creative streak—maybe from my fashion days—which helps me see properties differently and present them in a way that resonates with clients.

 

 

What advice would you give to young entrepreneurs looking to make their mark in the luxury real estate sector?

 

Luxury real estate is a dynamic and rewarding field, but it comes with its challenges. My first piece of advice is to genuinely immerse yourself in the industry. Understand the market trends, the needs of high-net-worth individuals, and what sets luxury properties apart. It's not just about square footage or finishes—it’s about the lifestyle and aspirations tied to each property.

 

Second, build relationships. In luxury real estate, trust and word-of-mouth are everything. Focus on creating connections with clients, developers, and industry peers. A recommendation from a satisfied client can open doors you didn’t even know existed.

 

Third, hone your presentation skills. Whether you’re pitching a property to a client or collaborating with a developer, how you present yourself and your vision matters. People in this space look for confidence, expertise, and someone who can help them make informed decisions.

 

Lastly, be patient but persistent. Breaking into the luxury segment takes time and a lot of hard work. Don’t shy away from setbacks—they’re part of the learning process. Stay adaptable, keep learning, and always strive to offer exceptional value. Luxury isn’t just about high-end products; it’s about providing an extraordinary experience. If you can deliver that, you’ll make your mark.
