The Advisory Behind Ahmedabad's Most-Trusted Commercial Leasing Platform
Chetan Dattani entered the Ahmedabad real estate market in the early 2000s, at a time when commercial leasing in Gujarat was almost entirely unorganised — no verified listings, no standardised lease terms, and no dedicated advisory for businesses. He saw an opportunity to bring process, ethics, and market knowledge to a transaction that had historically relied on personal connections and incomplete information.
Over the next two decades, he built an encyclopaedic understanding of every significant commercial corridor in Ahmedabad. SG Highway's rise as the city's corporate spine. CG Road's transformation from a retail strip to a premium office address. The industrial explosion along the Sanand-Changodar belt following the arrival of Tata Nano and the subsequent GIDC expansion. He was present — advising tenants, negotiating terms, and structuring leases — through each of these shifts.
In 2014, he channelled that market knowledge into RentalHelpline, a dedicated commercial leasing advisory platform that operates on a simple promise: only verified properties, only transparent terms, and only advice that puts the client's interest first. The platform now covers commercial offices, industrial and warehouse facilities, showrooms, co-working spaces, and pre-leased investment properties across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and GIFT City.
Chetan's particular specialisation is industrial and warehouse leasing — a segment that demands deep knowledge of GIDC regulations, factory licensing norms, floor load specifications, power availability, and logistics connectivity. He has advised pharmaceutical manufacturers, automotive ancillary companies, FMCG distributors, and e-commerce logistics operators on facilities ranging from 2,500 sq. ft. units to 45,000 sq. ft. warehouse complexes. Every recommendation he makes is grounded in what a specific business actually needs — not what generates the highest commission.
Outside commercial leasing, Chetan is a recognised voice on Gujarat's real estate market and has been quoted in regional and national business media on commercial property trends, RERA compliance, and the impact of major infrastructure projects on Ahmedabad's micro-markets. He is a registered member of ARA and NAR and holds a valid RERA registration with the Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority.
