About

Our vision & team
Our Vision

To be the name Hyderabad trusts with its most valuable addresses — crafting residential and commercial developments that represent the pinnacle of quality, innovation and precise planning, and that are still admired decades after handover.

We measure ourselves not by how much we build, but by how well. Every project is an opportunity to exceed what was promised and to earn a client's trust rather than assume it — through sound engineering, clean titles, transparent process, and homes and workspaces that set a new standard for how this city lives and works.

Santosh Kumar Saraiya
Founder & Chairman

Santosh Kumar Saraiya

Fifty years ago in Ranigunj, Santosh Kumar Saraiya founded Sri Durga Steel Tubes, trading for the names that set the benchmark in Indian steel — Jindal and Tata among them. It was a business built on stock that had to be right and promises that had to be kept, and it shaped a conviction he has carried ever since: quality is not a variable, and a reputation is built one honoured commitment at a time.

Three decades ago, he led the group's move into real estate. Working first alongside some of Hyderabad's leading developers, he learnt the discipline of the city's land, its regulations, and its expectations — before choosing to build under our own name. What began as a trading enterprise became a development practice, with the same standards applied to concrete and steel that had once been applied to inventory and invoices.

Sixteen years ago he joined forces with Nikhil to build what has become the Sri Durga legacy. As Chairman, he guides the decisions that set a project's course long before construction begins — which land to acquire, how a development should be positioned, and how capital and commitments are balanced over the long term.

Across five decades in business, his relationships with landowners, suppliers and buyers have outlasted individual transactions — the surest measure of how a business has been conducted. It is his belief, still, that a company is judged not by what it promises but by what it delivers, quietly and consistently, over time.

Nikhil Paleja
Director – Business Development, Land Acquisition & Strategy

Nikhil Paleja

Nikhil's journey in real estate began alongside a childhood friend, where he learnt the business by developing projects from the ground up. Over sixteen years ago, he joined forces with Santosh to build what has become the Sri Durga legacy.

Today, he leads business development, land acquisition, sales, and marketing, while overseeing the legal and commercial aspects of every acquisition. His philosophy is simple: exceptional developments begin with exceptional due diligence. In prime real estate, a clear title, transparent documentation, and ethical negotiations are every bit as important as thoughtful design and quality construction.

Holding an MBA in Finance and Marketing from Australia, Nikhil combines strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach. He is closely involved in every stage of the acquisition process, personally reviewing legal clearances, documentation, and critical details to ensure that every decision is backed by diligence rather than assumption.

Respected for his humility, integrity, and unwavering commitment, Nikhil has built lasting relationships with landowners through transparency and consistency. Those who partner with Sri Durga know that every commitment made is honoured, every discussion is conducted with fairness, and every transaction is handled with professionalism. His relentless follow-up, attention to detail, and belief that trust is earned—not claimed—continue to shape the values on which every Sri Durga project is built.

Sagar Saraiya
Director – Strategy, Operations & Project Delivery

Sagar Saraiya

Sagar completed his MBA in 2016 and joined the company, bringing a new generation's perspective to an enterprise built over five decades. He grew up around the business, and stepped into it with an understanding of both the values it was founded on and the expectations of the buyers it serves today.

He leads strategy, operations, and project delivery — the work of turning a plan on paper into a building handed over on time. From design coordination and approvals through procurement, contractor management, and site execution, he keeps the moving parts of each project aligned so that quality and timelines are held together rather than traded against each other.

His approach brings structure to a business that has traditionally run on instinct and relationships: clear processes, defined benchmarks, and regular review, so that standards are consistent across every project rather than dependent on any one site or season. Where his father built on judgement earned over decades, Sagar adds systems that make that judgement repeatable.

For Sagar, the measure of a development is what the resident experiences long after possession — the finish that still holds, the amenity that still works, the promise that still stands. It is this focus on delivery, and on what endures once the handover is done, that he carries into the family's next chapter.
