Unlike earlier days, real estate is no longer confined to being a ‘men only’ business. Inspired by eminent personalities such as Anushka Singh (Board Member, DLF), Manju Yagnik (Vice Chairperson, Nahar Group), Yukti Nagpal (Director, Gulshan Homz) or Aishwarya Bansal (Co-founder, Smartworld Developers), we are seeing an increasing number of women foray into the real estate arena and even start-ups of their own in the field. Through their extraordinary leadership and managerial skills, these women leaders are steering their ventures towards the pinnacle of success. One such company that has been making strong headwinds in the global real estate arena through its industry-best practices and vast domain expertise is Dodani Group Real Estate.

Based in Arizona, Dodani Group was founded by Jawahar ‘Joe’ Dodani (Founder & Chairman) and Dr. Sadaf Khan (CoFounder & President - NRI Business Growth & Strategy) with a vision to provide highly tailor-made real estate services to the customers. A licensed Realtor in the US from 2002, Joe possesses extensive experience in the real estate brokerage space and called ‘The Land Guru’. He is also part of EXP REALTY – the world’s fastest growing brokerage firm with a network of over 89,000 agents across 24 countries – and has won the ICON Agent award each year since joining it in 2019.


Owing to his success in the real estate sector so far, Joe was driven by the desire to contribute towards the development of the real estate industry in India. When EXP REALTY forayed into India in 2021, he went ahead with opening his own real estate firm in India with Dr Sadaf Khan as his cofounder due to the profound real estate industry experience that she possessed. Holding a PhD in HR Management and an MBA Gold Medalist, Dr. Sadaf is a client-centric business professional with a vast experience in successfully handling various intricacies involved in the real estate sector. Apart from this, she is also an entrepreneur, life coach, and a writer.


“Starting my own real estate company was inspired by a combination of my passion for the industry and a desire to provide unparalleled service to clients. Over the years, I recognized gaps in the market where clients were not receiving the personalized attention and expertise they deserved. My journey through the financial crisis of 2007 reinforced the importance of resilience and adaptability in real estate, and I wanted to create a company that embodies these values. By establishing my own firm, I aimed to build a team that shares my commitment to client success, innovation, and excellence in the real estate sector”, says Joe.

Boutique Real Estate Services Firm

As a specialist in real estate brokerage, Dodani Group offers two major services. Firstly, the company assists NRIs and foreign clients to invest in properties from reputed builders such as DLF in India. Secondly, through its recent expansion into Dubai, Dodani Group acts as a channel partner to enable Indian investors make investments in Dubai across all segments of real estate. To facilitate this, it has also partnered with prominent developers such as DAMAC, Danube, Sobha, and Azizi. Some of the other services that Dodani Group offers include property acquisition, management, investment advisory, and more. This way, the company aspires to improve the NRI investments landscape in India by acting as a one-stop-shop for all real estate related services and getting rid of any hassles, hesitation or hindrances that clients might have in terms of making investments in the country. Owing to such fine practices, Dodani Group has earned the reputation of being the one stop-shop for all investment related assistance in Dubai.
