Indus' Formula for Meeting Needs of Underserved Communities Proves Successful
HOUSTON , June 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Indus Communities, a Houston-based owner and developer of multi-family apartment communities, will mark its 20th year of providing quality, affordable housing in the Houston market on June 30.
Known for renovating and revitalizing underserved properties, Indus also was recognized by the National Apartment Association (NAA) as a Top Employer for 2022 in the Medium Company category. Indus currently employs 250 people in the Houston area and has nearly 10,000 units in its portfolio.
The NAA Top Employer award recognizes member organizations for fostering cultures of collaboration, innovation, and hard work. It also pays tribute to management companies and suppliers from across the rental housing industry that have gone above and beyond to create safe, engaging, and caring work environments over the past year.
"Indus is thrilled, honored, and humbled to be recognized as an NAA Top Employer, which points to the incredible dedication and hard work of every Indus team member," said Ajay Gupta, Indus CEO. "I immigrated to the United States in 1984, purchased my first property in 2002, and today am able to watch my children run and grow Indus into a compassionate company that proudly serves 40,000 residents, many of whom also are new, first-time immigrants to the US."
Gupta also noted many Indus employees have an ownership stake in the company, which he believes further strengthens their engagement and performance to create an innovative work environment for everyone. Gupta also is rewarded by being able to serve and give back to the community through the Indus Cares Foundation, which he spearheads with his daughter Avani Narang, Managing Director for Marketing and Digital Communications.
"Our continued growth and strong financial health are testaments to the successful business model oriented towards long-term profitability and authentically uplifting in our assets," said Nitin Garg, Managing Director of Operations at Indus. "Our track record shows if we focus on the needs of our residents and our team members, we can deliver sustainable performance, even during crises periods such as the 2008 recession and 2020 pandemic."
Indus also attributes its success to employee longevity and retention. "Indus has experienced six-fold growth since I joined the company in 2013, which I believe stems from having a consistent corporate management team, many of whom have been with us more than 5-10 years," said Dr. Manu Gupta, Managing Director, Strategy for Indus. "Indus is a family-run company, which makes it rewarding to work alongside people you know and trust."
