The inspiration of #Homes4all is the one that powered the birth of Provident Housing nearly 10 years ago. Provident Housing’s ambition of combining Premium lifestyle features, hitherto something that was available only to India’s elite rich home buyer, with affordability and intelligent design has already made Provident Housing one of the country’s largest Premium Affordable housing developer. With further emphasis on #Homes4all through conducive government policy making, the economic activity of Building every Indian’s first home is something that is going to power the Indian economy for the next decade, creating jobs, wealth and happiness into every urban and rural city across India.

The concept and design of the card was a cross-functional collaborative effort by Team Provident. It took over 250 hours of round the clock effort to create it and when completed it measured 239.95 sq.m. /2582.59 sq.ft. The certificate was handed over to Ashish Puravankara, Managing Director, Puravankara Limited by Mr. Swapnil Dangarikar, Official Adjudicator.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Dangarikar said, “GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS celebrates every amazing human achievement and is a testimony to the ambitions of our Human Spirit to push all boundaries. We congratulate Provident Housing, for seeing through its ambition of installing the world’s largest Greeting Card and wish them good luck ahead. Happy Independence Day to all Indians”

Following the unveiling of the largest greeting card, Ashish Puravankara, Managing Director of Puravankara Limited said, “It is a momentous occasion for us at Provident Housing to reaffirm our commitment towards the mission #Homes4all. In a small but significant way, Provident Housing pledges to work towards this common national ambition of #Homes4all Indians. While a Guinness world record has been set today, as the proverbial saying goes ‘all records are set to be broken’. The only record that will stand the test of time and never ever can be broken is when India sets a World record of providing #Homes4all. A record that will truly never be broken by anybody. Happy Independence Day to one and all from all of us here at Puravankara and Provident Housing”.
