- ›Excel Copilot instantly creates a sensitivity table for a 5-year cash flow projection in a Bangalore commercial project, a task that previously took 45 minutes of manual linking.
- ›A custom Python script scrapes MagicBricks for asking prices in Pune, identifying a 15% arbitrage opportunity days before competitors notice the trend.
Ways to survive

- ›specialize in regulatory nuances (RERA, Land Acquisition Act) that AI often misinterprets due to localized legal language.
- ›Focus on physical asset management and tenant improvement strategies which require on-site judgment.
Ways to get ahead with AI
