- Please give us your background before you thought of Samatva ?
Kalpesh Prajapati
I wanted to start IT SEZ so that we could give big economic boost to our State as
I thought Gujarat is lagging in IT space and I wanted Ahmedabad to compete with
Bangalore at the same time give an opportunity to IT aspirants of Gujarat.
- Who else are your partners in this business ? Was there any family support ?
Kalpesh Prajapati
I do not have partners in this but we have created West Wing Infrastructures Pvt.
Ltd. as the flagship company to run this business.
- How did you thought of Samatva and why this format came into existence?
Kalpesh Prajapati
I always thought of creativity for my customers with economics. If you compare the
facilities which Samatva is offering you will find that it is incomparable with
anybody that is what I wanted and this what I have to offer.
- Was this land purchased by you or you inherited it ? Why did you selected Shela
as the location for this marvellous scheme ?
Kalpesh Prajapati
The land was being gradually acquired by us since 1989. As we all know ‘Rome was
not built in a day’, similar is our case we have been acquiring this land with the
long term intention and to come out something unique as we intended to give world
class facilities to the purchasers keeping in mind about their economics.
You may have noticed that all big developers have acquired land in this area for
accommodating the residential needs of Amdavadis. We are one of them who thought
this since very early. Also you will notice that Ahmedabad has been growing on the
western side at a very rapid pace. Today one can easily claim that S.G. Road will
become the centre of this city within a couple of years. Samatva is only 7 Kms from
ISCON Temple which is the central hub of S.G. Road. Sardar Patel Ring Road is also
getting completed soon and many commercial complex are coming up in this zone also.
Therefore, keeping the long term perspective and our motto of economics in mind,
I feel Shela is a perfect location.
- Are you through with all the legal requirements for such a massive scheme ? If
not when do you think the same will be through ?
Kalpesh Prajapati
All the statutory requirements are complete. One can easily get the document file
for presenting it to any authority or financial institution.
- Please give us the details of your Scheme.

- What income group are you expecting in this Scheme in other words who are your
target customers ?
Kalpesh Prajapati

in mind for our customers as a result, I feel a middle class families and above
can easily afford such facility now given the liberal attitude of the financial
institutions.
