Is owning a home still the ultimate goal, or are there smarter, more flexible alternatives in today’s fast-changing world?

This week on The Bridge, the guests debate about one of the most talked-about life decisions in a GenZ’s life today: to buy a home or rent, with perspectives from seasoned business leaders and the next generation of entrepreneurs.

On one side, we have industry veterans Aseem Dhru (MD & CEO of SBFC Finance Ltd.), and Luis Miranda (Former Bank Treasurer at HDFC and Ex-CEO of IDFC), who share their views on the financial and emotional implications of homeownership, and why, in some cases, it may still be a solid investment.

On the other side, we hear from young trailblazers Ishan Gulati (Chief of Staff to the CEO at Rebel Foods), and Arshi Gupta (Senior Associate, Investments at Singularity AMC) who provide fresh insights on how they’re rethinking traditional paths to financial stability and whether owning property still makes sense in an increasingly mobile world.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The emotional, financial, and practical considerations of owning versus renting a home.
• How shifting economic landscapes and new technologies are changing what it means to “settle down.”
• What today’s young professionals really think about homeownership.

Don’t miss this candid conversation that explores one of the most significant decisions of our lives.
