Confident Group, founded in 2005, is a well-known real estate and infrastructure developer with projects spanning residential apartments, villas, commercial complexes and mixed-use developments. Over the past two decades, the company expanded its presence across Karnataka and other parts of India, building a sizable portfolio and a strong brand in the mid-segment and premium housing markets. Roy was widely regarded as a hands-on entrepreneur who played a central role in shaping the company’s growth strategy and operations.
News of Roy’s death spread quickly, prompting an outpouring of shock and grief from employees, business associates and members of the real estate fraternity. Several industry figures described him as a driven businessman with a keen eye for opportunities and a strong work ethic. At the company’s offices, staff members were seen in a state of distress as they struggled to come to terms with the sudden loss of their leader.
While the exact reasons behind the suicide are yet to be established, the incident has once again drawn attention to the intense pressures faced by entrepreneurs and senior corporate executives. The real estate sector, in particular, has been navigating a challenging environment marked by rising input costs, tighter financing conditions, regulatory compliance demands and fluctuating buyer sentiment. Industry observers note that such stresses, combined with personal factors, can take a heavy toll on individuals at the helm of large organisations.
