This recognition underscores CBRE D&T India’s relentless drive for innovation and digital transformation. By integrating AI and advanced technologies with the industry’s largest real estate dataset, it delivers cutting-edge solutions, accelerating decisions and redefining client success.
CBRE was awarded for its initiatives around transforming persona-based workflows leveraging Agentic AI-based Digital Assistants and conversation-based interface to augment both experience and operational effectiveness. By autonomously transforming market intelligence into actionable insights and integrating real-time data, this platform enables the brokers to focus purely on customer relationships while significantly accelerating the sales lifecycle. The model has successfully demonstrated digital revenue uplift, seamless adoption and operational efficiency across India and has been expanded to 14 markets globally.
The IDC Future Enterprise Awards (FEA) 2025 honored companies who are changing the way business is done through digital transformation. These awards acknowledged businesses that used AI, data, automation, and digital platforms to speed up innovation, make themselves more resilient, and promote growth that is good for everyone in all industries.
Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO of CBRE in India, South-East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, said, “CBRE D&T India is leading the company’s change with AI-led innovation and a focus on people, which is improving efficiency, saving money, and achieving operational excellence.” We are changing the future of real estate services by combining cutting-edge technology with custom solutions. D&T India is at the vanguard of India’s rapidly changing business environment, where it continues to make innovations that have a real influence on business.
CBRE’s D&T India also won the national award for “AI CoE of the Year,” in addition to the “Best in New Ways of Work” award. It honors CBRE’s leadership in AI-driven change, which improves processes and client relationships through proprietary data and top-notch solutions. In the past year, the AI Center of Excellence came up with 20 high-impact inventions that made the business more efficient.
By making AI skills available to all tech teams, integrating AI accelerators into the software development process, and using a centralized AI platform for reuse, CBRE has set a standard for efficiency and creativity in the industry.
“CBRE D&T India is building a workforce that is ready for the future and ready to lead in an AI-driven era,” said Apratim Mitra, Group VP and Head of CBRE D&T India. “This will lead to transformative outcomes that change the way business is done.” As our global digital and technology team grows quickly in India, we are in a good position to meet the changing needs of real estate technology around the world. This means putting the customer first to rethink business processes and drive digital differentiation through a laser-like focus on operational excellence and innovation arbitrage.”
Simon Piff, Research Vice President at IDC Asia/Pacific, said, “The use of suggestive prompts and automated next steps for optimizing the sales lifecycle is an example of how intelligent interfaces are changing from productivity tools to essential parts of how businesses run.” CBRE’s strategy stood out because it used these skills not in isolation, but as part of a fully integrated, business-aligned work model. This model has been shown to improve efficiency, pursuit time, and lead generation across several markets.
D&T India is a strategic part of CBRE that combines cutting-edge technology and data analysis to improve the value it offers to its core business and clients. The staff is very important to the company’s worldwide IT strategy. The Hyderabad center is the largest one outside of the US. The company’s focus on India as a strategic technological hub is part of its larger plan to tap into the country’s IT talent and innovative potential, making India a key player in its worldwide operations.
As the vertical continues to lead in the digital transformation space, this acknowledgment gives them even more reason to go even better. The award shows that the business is dedicated to coming up with new ideas and training a skilled workforce that is ready to face future problems. CBRE D&T is still hiring more people in India who are good with technology and digital products, such as product managers, enterprise architects, security analysts, engineers, data scientists, and software technology specialists.
