But the position he holds now as CEO at Starworth Infrastructure and Construction Ltd is anything but expected. It’s proof that commitment, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to excellence can pave the way to success.

– Shabu Earnest Veloor Joy
But his biggest accomplishment came when he was named CEO at Starworth Infrastructure and Construction Ltd – a leading EPC Contracting Company in India and 100% subsidiary of Puravankara Limited. His strong Execution Methodology has taken this company to new heights boasting projects like TAJ Bangalore International Airport, 20 Metro Stations for Bangalore Metro Corporation Limited worth Rs 347 Cr., Sound of Water Phase 1 for Puravankara worth Rs 694 Cr., Park Square – Provident worth Rs 1483 Cr. and Neora – Provident worth Rs 1187 Cr. His execution capabilities were the main reason that the company achieved Turnover of INR 504 Cr in FY23.
How Starworth Infrastructure And Construction Ltd Became The Company It Is Today:
Founded in ‘08, this contracting firm has quickly established itself as a leader in the industry. With a turnover of Rs 504 cr as of FY23, Starworth has grown at an unprecedented rate in a very short amount of time.
Starworth infrastructure and construction Ltd is a shinning ex- ample of innovation and excellence and has been endow with fastest growing construction company for the year 2022 and con- struction excellence award 2023.
It’s managed to achieve this by focusing on some key segments: Commercial, Residential, Infrastructure and Industrial. Their popular off-site construction technology highlights their innovative approach to old problems too.
Behind all these achievements stands a team of professionals who strive for nothing less than perfection. They’re constantly pushing the envelope when it comes to sustainability, unmatched quality and innovation. Key officials within the company are always thinking about its future growth too.
Shabu has an eye for where things are going and a willingness to get there first. His approach to change is simple: just keep raising the bar and never get complacent. It’s what’s kept Starworth ahead so far, and it’s what he believes will continue to set them apart.
The moment Shabu knew he was onto something big came in 2007. He had just spent 21 years in the UAE, and hadn’t even been exposed to the Indian construction market — yet, he decided to go back anyway. That move alone made him realize that everything he needed was inside of him already. From then on, his path would be clear; now all that was left was to figure out how to make it work.
“Success isn’t something you can reach,” Shabu says, “It’s a journey of non-stop self-belief and determination that turns your dreams into reality.”
Setting new industry standards
As public awareness of environmental impact rises around the world, companies have started paying more attention too. Starworth Infrastructure and Construction Ltd has been at the forefront of this shift since day one.
From methods like waste management and alternate material use to energy consumption optimization and eco-friendly practices; their dedication knows no limits when it comes to responsible construction.
A revolution in technology
Star Homes is the company’s latest project for which they’ve devised a groundbreaking construction method. In just 119 days they manage to build houses complete with elegant interiors from best-in-market products using advanced ecofriendly tech while maintaining optimum quality throughout.
This new method not only pushes Starworth’s ability as a construction firm but also serves as proof of concept for customer satisfaction with speed and efficiency guaranteed.
Through hell and high water
Every big dream hits some bumps along the way; I’d be worried if they didn’t. The biggest hurdles Starworth had faced up until now were competition, team building, operational efficiency improvements, and the like.
But in this industry — in any industry really — if you’re not pushing to get better, then what are you even doing? Shabu’s ability to motivate his team and make sure they’re all on the same page has proven invaluable.
The biggest challenge that he and Starworth faced together was COVID-19. Like with everyone else, the pandemic threw a wrench in their plans. But unlike the others, they grabbed a hammer and kept going anyway.
By adopting off-site building techniques Starworth was able to minimize human dependence which sped up project delivery, improved environmental values, and maintained consistent quality throughout all of their ongoing projects.
Building a legacy
Shabu Veloor Joy started from just an engineering degree. Look where he is now. From the moment he decided to come back to India after 21 years abroad with no exposure to the market until today; there’s no denying that this man is a leader through and through.
He doesn’t have any magic secrets either. His philosophy is simple: if you want something new, you need to start something new. If you want people to follow your example, then set one worth following.
“Innovation’s gonna build it; determination’s gonna play it”
