How It All Started
Career Journey
Bhartesh Shah’s journey toward sustainable redevelopment began long before ARVI Redevelopment was established.
Growing up surrounded by mango, chikoo, and lemon trees, he experienced firsthand the importance of nature and environmental balance. However, after moving to Ahmedabad during the 1980s, he witnessed a very different reality. Water shortages were common, tankers supplied water to many areas, and pollution from kerosene-powered vehicles was a part of everyday life.
These observations left a lasting impression on him.
Initial Years
Over the years, Bhartesh remained actively involved in community initiatives, leadership activities, and social service. Whether organizing events, participating in youth leadership programs, or supporting local causes, he developed a strong understanding of community needs and collective responsibility.
At the same time, he observed the rapid growth of urban development. While new buildings continued to emerge, many redevelopment projects failed to address fundamental issues such as water conservation, green cover, energy efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
Turning Point
The turning point came when Bhartesh realized that redevelopment offered a once-in-a-generation opportunity to correct the mistakes of urban growth.
Instead of simply rebuilding structures, redevelopment could be used to create greener, healthier, and more resource-efficient communities. This vision became the foundation of ARVI Redevelopment.
Professional Evolution
Foundation Years
For decades, Bhartesh remained closely connected to environmental causes, tree plantation initiatives, and water conservation efforts. His farming background taught him that sustainable growth is only possible when natural resources are respected and protected.
These principles became the foundation of his future business philosophy.
Entrepreneurial Shift
As he studied redevelopment projects across Ahmedabad, he recognized a significant gap in the market. Many societies were receiving redevelopment proposals focused solely on construction and financial benefits, with little attention given to environmental impact or community well-being.
Bhartesh saw an opportunity to introduce a new redevelopment model centered around sustainability, transparency, and long-term value creation.

ARVI Redevelopment was established with a clear mission: to transform old housing societies into Green Homes that improve quality of life while reducing environmental impact. Since its inception, the company has completed multiple projects, initiated several ongoing developments, and provided redevelopment guidance to hundreds of housing societies across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
