Morph Design Company
Sublime
Founded in 1986, the Group’s turnover has today grown to Rs.1000 crores. This leap has been driven by the vision of the
leadership team at Prestige, headed by Chairman and Managing Director Mr. Irfan Razack with the support of his brothers
Mr. Rezwan Razack and Mr. Noaman Razack. Not to speak of the next generation of the Razack family that is actively powering the
company’s ambitious growth. While Ms. Anjum Jung has built a successful establishment in Morph Design, Mr. Omer Bin Jung is
responsible for the widely acclaimed Angsana Oasis Spa and Resorts. Mr. Zaid Sadiq oversees Prestige’s public relations affairs; Under
the aegis of Sublime, Ms. Uzma Irfan assumes responsibility for the growing corporate and marketing communication demands
of the Group’s diverse businesses; Mr. Faiz Rezwan currently heads the Procurement Department while also spearheading Prestige
Golfshire, the flagship golf course project; Mr. Saif Ibrahim is at the helm of Prestige Property Management Services (PPMS); and
Ms. Sana Rezwan heads 23 Carat, a luxury retail consulting firm.
With more than 145 developments covering over 27.44 million sft already completed, the Group has 74.4 million sft under
development currently. Using this strong foundation as a launch pad, the Group has already begun to spread its wings across a
wider geography. The future thus promises to be one of continued aggressive growth. Malls on the lines of The Forum, large
townships, tech parks, hotels, luxury villas, and SEZs will dot the skylines of Chennai, Goa, Hyderabad, Kochi, Mangalore and
Mysore, besides Bangalore, in the coming years. The Prestige Group aims to leverage its formidable experience, expertise and
technology to give the citizens of each location an unparalleled living and working experience.
Brand Prestige is today synonymous with the highest professional standards. Prestige is one of the very few developers to get
the Crisil DA2 rating and to become an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. Prestige is the only company in Bangalore whose
software and residential structures have won the reputed FIABCI award. For all this success the Prestige Group applauds and
acknowledges the tremendous support and faith shown by its customers, business partners, and well-wishers.
Prestige is also firmly committed to a cleaner and greener environment and all the Group’s developments have specific areas
set aside for landscaping. Besides, Prestige has taken an active role in improving Bangalore’s civic infrastructure. For instance,
together with the UB Group, Prestige helped to upgrade Vittal Mallya road in the heart of the city to world class standards.
Prestige was also involved in improving a 10 km stretch of road in Whitefield, a sought after suburb of Bangalore. To top it all,
beautification work done by the Group has won many ‘Best Garden’ awards at various horticultural shows. After all, the future
has to be protected as it doesn’t belong to us: we have only borrowed it from our children.
The Prestige Group is a fast growing company with a clear focus on its vision and objectives for the years to come. The various
milestones achieved by the company have been showcased in this corporate brochure. The staff and management of the Prestige
Group hope that you will enjoy the tour and look forward to fostering continuous growth and many more partnerships in the
years to come.

A P r o f i l e
Mr. Razack Sattar was a man who set an abiding example. He was a true
innovator, a pious, orthodox and farsighted man whose regard for his fellow
beings governed everything he thought, said and did. He knew the value of the
personalized approach, for him it was the right thing to do, as a person who
was concerned for other people’s feelings and places in life. The daily business
of life was important, as is evident from the size of the commercial enterprise
he established, but equally important to him was the establishment of a system
of values by which one could live.
He was born in Bangalore on the 18th of April 1927, one of four brothers.
Their father had moved here from Bombay and set up a business in military
provisions. He studied at St Joseph’s Indian High School and he started Prestige
House For Men in the fifties, tailoring men’s clothing and selling fabric on
Bangalore’s Commercial Street.
During the sixties and the seventies, his sons Irfan and Rezwan initially worked
with Mr. Sattar as the business grew rapidly, apace with Bangalore. Noaman Razack too came to the business to learn at his
father’s side and in all three of them, and their sister Anjum who joined in, was instilled the spark to achieve and to set examples
of their own. All the while, as behind all successful men, there was his ‘better-half ’ Rabia Razack supporting him unstintedly.
Noaman speaks of Mr. Sattar as a loving father who always gave them all the freedom to express their individuality, allowing
them to grow by doing, by risking, by throwing down challenges to themselves. Mr. Sattar knew instinctively when to guide, when
to suggest, and when to foster their efforts by simple encouragement, by just stepping aside. For him family was paramount,
embodying the efficacy of team work, united towards a common goal. But again at the end of the day’s work he also knew the
need for each person to go his or her own way. It was all about balance and harmony, then, as always.
When things became hard, looked bleak, he believed in the restorative power of laughter. When things were good as they often
were, then that was a time to be content, yes, but also to look around and see who else could share in the good times. Above all
he believed in discretion and in doing things without ostentation, away from the spotlight. As gentlemen have always done.
An interesting fact about Mr. Sattar is that he was an ardent tennis player at a time when hardly anyone in the community played
it; he was a frequent visitor to the Cubbon Park tennis courts, where he perfected his game. But that was perhaps typical of him,
the fact that he did things that were unexpected, or did them in a different way, in his own quiet fashion making a difference.
And that is how progress is made, in the way a person works, plays and lives.
His legacy lives on in his children and all that they have created has its origins in the ideals he instilled: the instinct for hard work,
and the respect that his children have for each other and the people they work with, all the qualities that give such endeavours
meaning, effect and endurance.

Irfan Razack
Promoter, Chairman & Managing Director
Irfan Razack, the eldest son of Razack Sattar, is at the helm of the Prestige Group. A born leader, Irfan is blessed with the
acumen to see opportunities where none apparently exist, the courage to take the untrodden path and the determination to see
his vision through to fruition. His leadership acumen received national recognition, when he was declared Professional of the
Year at the Real Estate Excellence Awards 2008. He has been Honorary Secretary of the Al Ameen Educational Society for

Industries (CII). He is also a sought after panelist for discussions on business and real estate on leading television channels.
While Irfan propels the falcon to soar higher, farther and wider, what sets him clearly apart is his ability to simultaneously bring
his formidable abilities to bear on philanthropic and social causes. A past president of Rotary Midtown, Bangalore, he is still
actively involved in the Club’s activities, and is also a Paul Harris Fellow. Among his many initiatives is the prestigious Rotary
Midtown Prestige Citizen Extraordinaire Award to honour citizens of Bangalore who have contributed to society in a truly
significant way. He has attended a course by the United Nations University International’s Leadership Academy (UNU/ILA)
in Jordan, and now shares his knowledge with budding leaders, both in the Prestige Group and beyond.
A man of many facets, Irfan’s leadership skills have been at the fore right from his youth. As a student leader at St. Joseph’s
College, Bangalore he was the driving force behind many a laurel won by it. In recognition of his achievements the St. Joseph’s
Old Boys Association has honoured him with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Noaman Razack
Promoter
Noaman Razack is the youngest son of Prestige’s founder, the late Razack Sattar. He is the Managing Director of Prestige
Fashions (P) Ltd. (PFPL), the umbrella organization for all garment-related retail activity. Razack Sattar was a true innovator
and a farsighted man who knew the power of the personal touch, and for Noaman whose role in Prestige began in the early
seventies, the shop was a vital childhood presence. He came to Prestige Fashions prompted by the desire to work with his father
and be a part of the surging, fascinating business of garment retail. Being a people’s person it fell naturally to him to provide
a direction and a face to the male fashion retail arena in Bangalore.
An enthusiastic sportsman, Noaman says from his desk at Prestige The Man Store, “Our growth is really bound up with that
of Bangalore’s. We’ve seen the city transform itself and maybe we’ve helped raise its style quotient while learning so much
ourselves. Our father had a vision of Prestige and its role in Bangalore but I think even he, with all his foresight, couldn’t have
seen how far all this would go. Still, he was the one who took the first step and his ideals and convictions are more meaningful
than ever.”

Bangaloreans thus have fond memories of the imposing red brick edifice that had become an indelible

red brick character and incorporating visually significant elements from its design. For example, square
towers punctuated with wrought iron balconies and rectangular windows, large wrought iron gates and an
arched entrance. The development was also named after the original. As a result, to the old Bangalorean,

Services
Prestige Property Management & Services
Prestige has always been committed to give its customers the best value and service. It is in line with this
philosophy that Prestige Property Management and Services (PPMS) was set up in 1996 to provide high
quality maintenance and post construction care for all Prestige developments. The Prestige Group can be
credited to be the first builder in India to come up with a dedicated company specially assigned for post
construction care.
Maintenance and Post Construction Care. The objective for Property Management is to provide world-class support
and maintenance services for Prestige properties. The 950 strong Property Management team consists of highly skilled workers
who are specially trained to maintain the impeccable standards that are the hallmark of all Prestige developments. The services
offered can be customised to meet the varying needs of the diverse range of developments that Prestige creates - be it a high
rise commercial complex housing big MNCs, residential apartments with beautifully landscaped grounds, sprawling luxurious
villas or shopping malls of international standards. State-of-the-art equipment is used to keep every aspect of the property in
mint condition and meet all the said, and unsaid needs, of our clients.
We have worked with several residential customers to develop a transparent maintenance model that gives the customers a better
understanding of property maintenance and enables them to manage costs. In terms of commercial investors, we have helped
them to periodically assess the property and address issues that creep up with age. This practice of undertaking “periodical
maintenance” helps extend the life of the asset so that owners receive the best possible rents. We offer a range of billing options
and work so that customers can choose to customize the property management package to suit their individual needs.
Award Winning Landscapes. The breathtaking landscape that is an inevitable feature of every Prestige property is a living
example of the excellence of the Prestige Property Management team. These gardenscapes are regular winners of top honours
at various horticultural shows, giving further evidence of the high standards that the team works to.
Rentals and Re-sales. Prestige Property Management and Services has recently set up a new team that is committed to help
Prestige property owners get best value for rentals and re-sales. Rather than deal with sundry brokers and agents, customers
can list their properties with us and we will ensure that the property is rented out or sold, for the best possible value.

Prestige - The Man Store: Addressing A Man’s Style
The evolution of Prestige Fashions can be measured as growing from 600 sft, the size of the first Prestige Fashions store, to
the 20,000 sft of today’s Prestige - The Man Store (PTMS), apart from the extensive, combined floor area of the PFPL network
of high-profile brand outlets all over Bangalore.
However, the increase in the extent of its impact on Bangalore style is much, much further-reaching. And not as easily
quantified.
Sprawling over seven levels, PTMS is the first store that caters exclusively and comprehensively to men. Amidst all the noise and
confusion of modern retail, PTMS unwaveringly builds upon this fact: that the Prestige customer is a discerning individual.
World-class retailing, which is what PTMS is about, is focusing on the customer and filtering out all the inessentials no customer
has the time to do himself.
Overseeing PTMS is Noaman Razack, Managing Director, Prestige Fashions, whose 30 years in retail, backed by seven store levels
of international brands, empower Prestige customers, varied breed though they are, to express themselves through silhouettes,
fabrics, colours, details, and dressing etiquette, and harmonize, sustain and maintain a wardrobe.
As Noaman Razack, says, “What adds value is the advice we bring to the table”.
This derives organically from years of Prestige bespoke tailoring, a fastidious Bangalore tradition revered by three generations
of style-conscious dressers who include corporate leaders, showbusiness’ best and brightest, sporting greats and political
luminaries.
The Prestige Fashions umbrella includes a dedicated store for the country’s premier menswear label Raymond and two of its
high-end footwear brands, Metro and Mochi.
Added to this is Benetton with its hip international content at five locations across the world-city that Bangalore has become
and whose style Prestige enhances.

Morph Design Company
Morph Design Company (MDC), originally set up as an in-house interior design subdivision, has today taken
massive strides to become an independent company managing a diverse mix of residential developments,
clubhouses, resorts and hotels. Morph Design has also expanded its services into the public domain and is
an independent company that handles developments beyond Prestige for external clientele.
MDC specializes in residential and hospitality interiors, and has been responsible for some of Prestige’s most spectacular
interiors. Whether it’s an existing home or a new structure, MDC offers consultation, comprehensive planning and complete
design solutions. The company follows an interactive design process encouraging regular inputs from the client. Throughout the
process the design team uses a number of visual tools - photographs, floor plans, color palette selections, furniture selections,
etc. - to help the client visualize the design direction their home will ultimately take.
To support the company’s interior design services, MDC also has three separate but integrated manufacturing units. The company’s
woodworking unit makes customized furniture - all joinery is designed in-house and manufactured at the woodworking unit.
Morph, the door factory, is the latest addition to MDC. The factory evolved in order to meet the parent company’s growing
need for high quality doors. The state-of-the-art facility manufactures a range of superior doors using the latest machinery
from Italy. MDC’s third unit is Windowcare, which produces custom window dressings.
MDC adopts best practices in interior design from around the world while providing customers with a signature touch to create
a distinct identity. The company is also known for integrating a unique approach that retains old world charm while creating
spaces that are functional and fashionable.

Prestige takes its responsibilities as a Corporate Citizen very seriously. Through the Akshaya Patra programme, Prestige has
adopted 568 schoolchildren of the Govt Urdu School at DJ Halli, Bangalore, to provide them hygienically cooked
midday meals daily. The Akshaya Patra Foundation provides these meals through their efficient distribution system to over 5
lakh schoolchildren every day with the support of the Government of Karnataka and a large number of donors. This scheme
encourages the children from the most underprivileged sections of society to attend school, giving them a chance to attain a
better foothold in life than their parents. Prestige, in its own way, is helping to make this happen.
Prestige has also partnered the Public Works Department and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), to improve the
condition of Bangalore’s roads. Most recently, Prestige was involved in the upgradation of Vittal Mallya Road, Bangalore
to world class standards (in association with the UB Group), setting a benchmark for the rest of the city. Earlier, Prestige has
also been involved in the building of a 10 km stretch of road in Whitefield, Bangalore and the beautification of a section of
Hosur Road, in Bangalore (in association with the Bangalore Agenda Task Force). We have also put up street furniture, bins,
paved sidewalks and landscaping in that stretch. In fact, similar work done by us on the old Airport Exit Road has won us, one
of the best gardens awards at the Republic Day Horticultural Show at Bangalore.
The Group has also partnered with the Al-Ameen educational institution to assist in its development and beautification.
Prestige has also partnered with St. John’s Hospital, Bangalore for their Vision 20-20 programme and donated vision
testing equipment for use in mobile eye camps conducted in rural areas.
The Prestige Foundation is a charitable trust founded to provide socio economic relief and education to the poor.
Prestige, in association with the Rotary Club, also presents the annual Citizen Extraordinaire Award to citizens of Bangalore
who have made exemplary contributions to its overall growth. Previous recipients of the award include Sri Nandan Nilekani
and Sri SM Krishna among others.
It is this feeling behind the concrete that inspires the company to give back a little something to the community that has given
it love, respect and recognition.

community-centric atmosphere that fosters confidence, thought, self-discipline, and the harnessing of creative energies.

but in at least one chosen co-curricular activity. The school is well-equipped with world class teaching, co-curricular, sports and
administration infrastructure and has sprawling grounds.
Inventure Academy’s journey to the pinnacle of India’s scholastic reputation is spearheaded by its Managing Trustee, CEO

markets in the US, Greater China, Australia, Middle East and the UK, over a period of twelve years. Nooraine worked with
Reuters for a period of over 9 years in various front-line and managerial roles. Post a period of introspection, Nooraine returned
to India in order to be a ‘citizen with a say’ in the way the country is developing.
Nooraine’s exposure, expertise and beliefs have motivated her to make a sustainable difference to the way children are taught in
Inventure Academy. Under Nooraine’s stewardship, the core promise: ‘to instill in students the ability and conviction to realize
their full potential and excel anywhere in the world’, has become a mission-critical event at Inventure Academy.
