Our Story

A father of eighty-three,
still at his desk

Two generations, seventy-five years, and one city. This is how a family consultancy in Ahmedabad came to sit across the table from banks, government departments and the men who built C.G. Road.

JST Properties is a two-generation real estate consultancy in West Ahmedabad, led by Chandrakant Someshwar Joshi, eighty-three, and his son Divyam Chandrakant Joshi, fifty. Between them they hold seventy-five years and more of experience in this industry, almost all of it within fifty kilometres of where they still work.

The family business operates through Jai Shivmayam Trading Company Private Limited, incorporated on 12 September 1997, with JST Properties as its real estate consultancy brand. But the work began well before the company existed — as a sole proprietorship, in the early 1980s, with nothing behind it.

The two generations

Founder & Director · 45+ years · DIN 02020457

Chandrakant Someshwar Joshi

He started in the early 1980s with no capital, no inheritance and no contacts worth the name — only a willingness to keep showing up, and a memory for what land had last changed hands for.

Over forty-five years he has watched Ahmedabad turn itself inside out — from the walled city out to Ashram Road, then C.G. Road, then the long westward march to S.G. Highway, Prahladnagar and the ring road. He was in the room for a good deal of it.

At eighty-three he is still at his desk most days. Clients ask for him by name.

Director · 30+ years · DIN 02020487 · GujRERA registered

Divyam Chandrakant Joshi

Thirty years in the same trade, and a deliberately different half of it. Where his father's work was built on the street and the site, Divyam's has been built on the institutional side — developers, corporates, banks and financial institutions, landowners, and the investors who buy for yield rather than to live.

That includes the part most agents never see: sourcing land and T.P. plots for developers assembling a project, where the buyer is a company and the deal lives or dies on title.

He is the registered real estate agent under Gujarat RERA through whom the firm operates today.

The association we are asked about most

The Sakar years

Of everyone this family has worked with, one association is the one we are still asked about.

Mr. Anil Bakeri, Chairman of the Bakeri Group, is among the most respected figures in Ahmedabad real estate. His group, founded in 1959, created the Sakar series that gave Ashram Road and C.G. Road their spine, and in 1995 became the first developer in India awarded CRISIL’s highest PA-1 rating.

Chandrakant Joshi worked closely with him through a sustained run of transactions across those buildings.

and others besides

Not a trophy. It is where the way this firm works was settled: you are given a mandate once, and everything after depends on whether the last one went well for the other side too.

Who we have worked with

Not a broker’s client list

Four decades of transactions across the table from institutions most consultancies never encounter. That is the part you cannot acquire quickly.

Our philosophy

“Everyone should benefit.”

A deal where one side wins and the other loses happens once. We would rather do business with the same people for thirty years, which means the arithmetic has to work for all of them.

The buyer gets the right property — at a price that still looks right in five years.
The seller gets the right value, and an honest number rather than a flattering one.
The developer gets the right opportunity, and a buyer who has already been qualified.
The investor builds wealth, not just a portfolio of things they own.
And the relationship continues after the paperwork is signed.

It is also why we will tell you not to buy something. It costs us a commission and earns us the next three.

Our promise

Never really
about the building

After seventy-five years, the clearest lesson is that real estate is not about concrete or square feet.

It is a family’s home. A business’s future. A developer’s vision. An investor’s wealth. A landowner’s legacy. Very often it is the largest single decision somebody will make with a lifetime of savings.

So every assignment gets professionalism, confidentiality, transparency, and the assumption we will still be dealing with you in ten years.
