Began his journey as a Mechanical Engineer in a manufacturing plant, where he learned about complex production processes.

Today at Puravankara, he brings financial expertise and transparent leadership to one of the country’s most competitive real estate markets. Mr. Patil’s journey underscores the power of continuous learning, cross-functional exposure, and integrity-driven leadership in shaping future-ready real estate organisations.
Recognised as one of the Leading Real Estate and Construction Leaders in India 2025, Mr. D. S. Patil shared his insights with Corporate TrendZ:
“If the government streamlines approvals, reduces unnecessary levies and recognises real estate as an essential industry, the ecosystem will become more efficient and affordable. The reduction of the GST rate already indicates positive movement. With deeper reform, the next decade can bring significant transformation and growth.”
