In India, Taurus operates through TIH India Real Estate Advisory LLP, headquartered in Trivandrum, executing the flagship Taurus Downtown Trivandrum project — a 5.5 million sq ft mixed-use development in Technopark Phase 3 comprising Embassy Taurus TechZone (3 million sq ft Class A SEZ/Non-SEZ office with Embassy Group), Taurus Zentrum (1.3 million sq ft retail and entertainment center designed by Benoy with Kerala's first IMAX multiplex by Cinepolis), Taurus Yosemite (485,000–665,000 sq ft Non-SEZ office), and Asset Taurus Identity (298-unit residential with Asset Homes). Revenue is generated through long-term commercial leases with Fortune 100/500 institutional tenants (Allianz, Accenture, HCL, Equifax), retail and entertainment leases, residential unit sales, and GP management fees on approximately 400 investor-family LPs. The firm deploys operational technologies including geothermal cooling, EarthCam construction monitoring, and Pre-Engineered Building prefabrication, and holds a 51% controlling interest in the Winterfell Realty JV with Embassy Group.
