The conversations I am glad to have, and the few I cannot

If you chair a nomination committee or are running a search for an independent director, I would be glad to hear about a seat that matches what I describe on my Board Readiness page: a capital-heavy listed company outside real estate, where an Audit or Risk Management Committee could use someone who has rated, lent to and borrowed for long-cycle projects. A short note on the company's business, which committees need filling, how often they meet and whether it deals in any way with Mridvika, the Kirtane family, our banks or our contractors lets me rule out conflicts before anyone spends time on a meeting. Fellow finance heads, credit officers and committee members are equally welcome to write about designated accounts, joint development terms or how lenders read a developer.

Three subjects stay off the table: Mridvika's numbers before they are published, land we are negotiating for and approvals still pending. Homebuyers with questions about a flat will get a faster answer from our customer team than from me. I am not exploring executive roles. Messages sent through this page reach me directly, and I try to answer each within seven days.
