and its aspiration for a better quality life. Master Planner, Urban Designer & Architect
SAMIR DAOUD,
B.Sc.Arch, Dip.(Urb.Des), AADip.(Plan).
Master planning and designing Dream City in
Pune has been one of the most inspiring and
rewarding experiences of my career, an
opportunity afforded by Mr. D.S. Kulkarni,
Chairman of M/s. DS Kulkarni Developers, who
placed his trust in me and my international
track record, having designed and delivered a
number of iconic developments both in UAE
and the Gulf Region. It is this man’s relentless
pursuit of excellence and uncompromising
drive to serve his fellow countrymen in India
that earned my respect and admiration.
My passion to work in harmony with human
needs, aspirations and pursuit of a better life
energised and persuaded me to share my
vision for this dream with Mr. Kulkarni, his
wife and his dedicated team and hence we
called this project Dream City.

The Quest…. Biography of Dr DS Kulkarni, CMD
Having entered his rather modest office for a man who
heads a billion dollar Group, the first thing Dr DS Kulkarni,
the Chairman and Managing Director, does is to bow his
head before the picture of Goddess Saptshringi. The entire
office set up has been deliberately kept simple, for the
clientele, which has been entrusting their unstinted faith in
the products of the Group, belongs to that rather modest
stratum of society. He began his life on 28 June 1950 in
Kasba Peth part of the walled city of Pune and showed his
penchant for business acumen rather early, which later was to
get into such diverse disciplines as real estate development,
automobiles, education and now entertainment. He was
born with a mind of his own and strong passion to succeed;
traits that were to come to fore in full glow in later years.
His deep sense of purpose, self-abnegation and undeterred
discipline were amply visible when he took to selling
vegetables to thronging buyers. And that character is fully
on display even to this day.
“Telesmell” a small venture started in 1970, which runs
effectively to this day, was another socially fragrant effort
where-in he and Ms Hemanti Phadke, then an ordinary
working hand toiling over twelve hours a day for a measly
thirty rupees a month, and now Mrs Hemanti Kulkarni, his
wife and the mighty President of the Group, would bicycle
their day cleaning telephone sets and applying a scented
gauge in each one of them. DSK got into business of buildings
undertaking carpentry, painting and repair works for houses.
This made him an expert in matters engineering and endeared
DSK to the customers he connected with thus laying
foundation in his young psyche that the customer was God.
In the early eighties, DSK assembled his team ably assisted by
Mrs Hemanti Kulkarni who took charge of finances and human
resources, and thus began an era which has no parallels in
terms of truthfulness and dedication. He catered to lower
middle strata of the society for he understood their pain and
blisses and has created well over 35,000 homes for them
including the most flourishing township DSK Vishwa, with over
6000 dwellings taking his rightful place in the famed Guinness
book of World Records for selling over 1000 units in just seven
days. Breaking barriers of minds he built one of the most
beautiful buildings in Mumbai that earned the Group the
prestigious award from CNBC in the year 2008. Cities of Chennai,
Bengaluru, Nasik and Coimbatore saw excellent developments
from the DSK stable. New Jersey, USA was the next stop. He aims
to build a 150 storeyed skyscraper in Manhattan.
DSK ventured into high-tech fields of computers and Information
Technology, education, automobiles, travel and tourism,
entertainment and hospitality. On one hand a famous Hollywood
producer has partnered with the DSK group to produce a
successfully running teleserial; CCIV, France on the other have
joined with him in creating perhaps the finest institution in the
vocational fields of Industrial designing, computer gaming and
Animation. With well over six dozen national and international
awards it tow, the DSK International Campus has undoubtedly
developed into the best facility in the world.
List of his successes has continued even in the field of
automobiles where-in DSK Toyota, headed by his New Zealand
Education
Sports
educated son Shirish, has bagged numerous international
awards for highest quality service. DSK always exults in working
Culture
hard and with passion and has osmotically pervaded that spirit
into every one of over 8000 individuals working in the Group.
Small wonder then that he has been conferred with the Degree
of a Doctor of Science by a well known Medical University.
Leisure
A self-made man, for him it does not matter who you are till
such time you are ready to give your best. He is helping Milkmen
get their dues in the Country with a new invention, a Robot.
And with Solar powered Laptop he helps poor farmers operate
their bank accounts in the remote areas. That spirit has now led
him to offer an unmatched nearly 300 acres project DSK
DreamCity at Pune, unlike any seen by humans, anywhere.
DSK is a simple man with such humane qualities that he has
instructed his drivers that they will not sound the horn of the car
which he travels in lest the people in front of his vehicle feel
disturbed. Always leading from front in his personal conduct,
every visitor is seen off by him personally out of his modest office.
One would find same shades of character even in his family
members who treat everyone with respect and equality. With such
deep values and strong & fair character success in whatever they do,
indeed whatever the Group does, is bound to come their way. Always.

Samir S. Daoud, with his team, has worked tirelessly on the creation of Dream City in all
aspects of its master planning, urban design, architectural design and landscape design, and
has distilled the best of his international experience and extensive track record together with
his planning and design philosophy to cultivate his vision for this pioneering project.
Developments of this magnitude and diversity require the contribution and services of a high
powered multi-disciplinary team in various facets of engineering, technology, science and
management to meet the challenges inherent in the design and delivery of such an ambitious
and iconic Township intended for the settlement of some 50,000 people. Accordingly, the
following local, national and international support consultancy team was selected to provide
their invaluable contribution towards the design of Dream City:

• JW Consultants, Pune (Structural Consultants)

• Mr. Birju Patel, Mumbai (MEP Consulting Engineers)
• Halcrow, Delhi (Roads and Traffic Engineering Consultants)
• Architect Vikas & Nilima Bhosekar, Pune (Support Landscape Architects)
