Chandigarh has always stood apart as a city shaped by planning and purpose. But in recent years, as Mohali and the surrounding regions began transforming into India’s emerging economic belt, one question became clear.
Who will build the infrastructure that supports this growth – not just today, but for decades ahead?
For Mohit Bansal, the answer turned into a mission.
A Journey That Began Before the Company
Mohit Bansal’s path into real estate did not begin in a conventional boardroom.
It began in the hills of Leh, on the roads built by the Border Roads Organisation and in the architectural lessons he inherited from his mother. Later, his academic years in the United States – where he earned dual degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics – shaped his thinking with precision and a global perspective.
He had every opportunity to build a career abroad. Instead, he returned to India with the clarity that nations rise on the strength of their infrastructure.
Chandigarh became his canvas.
Between 2014 and 2018, Mohit travelled, learnt and worked closely with engineers, landowners, planners and field teams. Those years taught him something most developers overlook – infrastructure is not about land and buildings; it is about people and purpose.
In 2018, he founded GMI Infra with one commitment –
Build ecosystems that create jobs, support industries and shape better cities.
GMI Infra: The Company Built on a Conviction
GMI Infra is headquartered in Chandigarh, yet its vision is national.
The company has grown from a single idea into a development powerhouse that focuses on –
- Large-scale commercial and industrial infrastructure
- Sustainable and human-focused residential spaces
- Economic growth through tech corridors, logistics hubs and free-trade zones
- Clean, future-ready urban design
Unlike many developers who build for visibility, GMI Infra builds for impact – quietly, deliberately and without compromising long-term value.
The Projects That Define This Vision

Every endeavour resonates with India’s goals of –

Conclusion: A Vision That Includes More Than Real Estate
The story of Mohit Bansal is not only about the vastness of GMI Infra’s work but also the intention and the commitment behind it that make it more interesting.

This is the process of nation-building.
This is the vision of one leader that is already influencing the future of Chandigarh, Mohali and India’s up-and-coming economic corridors.
