T. Chitty Babu

A first-generation entrepreneur, T Chitty Babu founded Akshaya in 1995 with a strong conviction in morals, confidence in skill and clarity in approach. A civil engineer by profession, his immense passion for creating efficient, world-class living spaces for all, saw the birth of Akshaya - a brand that today, is at the heart of real estate development, not just in Chennai, but across the State of Tamil Nadu.

T Chitty Babu believes in the importance of a strong foundation, not just for his projects but for the brand as well. Thus was coined the term Uncompromise - the one word that encompasses the spirit of Akshaya. From a customer-first approach, to defining industry standards. From making innovation a continual process to pioneering outstanding legal systems & ethical business practices. Today Akshaya stands tall as one of the most environmentally conscious and transparent developers in India with innumerable awards and recognitions - Akshaya is one among 11 companies in India to get the Integrated Management Systems (IMS) certification and the only developer in India to have both the IMS and Social Accountability (SA) certifications.

To Chitty Babu, an informed buyer is not a threat, but an ally who helps push the envelope in terms of service and standards. Chitty Babu’s constant rigour to look at the home-buying experience from the customer’s point of view gave rise to the ingenious “Akshaya Home Facts” guidebook on home-buying. Written in simple language, Akshaya Home Facts outlines 50 key factors that every customer must consider before purchasing a home. This novel initiative went on to set an industry benchmark in customer service. For Chitty Babu, this earnest approach gave him something even more endearing - the unflinching trust of his customers.

Akshaya notwithstanding, Chitty Babu has spearheaded multiple initiatives across various industry bodies as well, in different avatars. He has headed key national roles in CREDAI, CII, IGBC and has contributed immensely to the development of the realty sector through active engagement with government and regulatory bodies.

Recognising his efforts in getting the entire Tamil Nadu Chapter members of CREDAI to sign the Code of Conduct (COC) - a self-regulatory and binding moral and ethical code of conducting business amongst members, CREDAI entrusted Chitty Babu to head two specially created cells at the national level - The COC (Code of Conduct) that all developers needed to sign up to be part of this industry body, and the CGRF (Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum) that addresses quality and service delivery to customers.

Real estate development is not just brick and mortar for Mr Chitty Babu. He believes that the design of every Akshaya project must bring about harmony in the community that will call it home. Hence, great care is taken in ensuring that the spaces designed are considerate, helpful and accommodating of everyone's needs, not just for the residents of today, but for generations to come.

From international architects to renowned auditors, from the top banks in the country to the strongest NBFCs, from the most reputed contractors to the best legal advisors, every partner is diligently handpicked for each of Akshaya’s projects.

Because, for Mr T Chitty Babu, the search for the better never ends.

And for an Akshaya home, nothing but the best will do.
