ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Syamales Datta
Real Property Valuation Author
Syamales Datta received his honors degree in physics from the University of Calcutta in 1963. He went on to qualify for the Professional Associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (ARICS) exams in 1971 while serving the Howrah Improvement Trust (HIT) as Deputy Assistant Valuer.
A series of promotions followed and in 1993 he was appointed Chief Valuer of HIT, a post he held memorably up to his retirement from service in the spring of 2004.
Datta is a life fellow of the Institution of Surveyors and the Institution of Valuers, both headquartered in New Delhi.
His first volume, Valuation of Real Property: Principles and Practice was published by Eastern Law House of Calcutta in 1993. The book became a major hit among practicing valuers and in 2004 a second edition was published. The scroll is used by the Master of Science in Real Estate Valuation program taught at the Institute of Science & Technology for Advanced Studies & Research (ISTAR), affiliated with Sardar Patel University, Gujrat.
His lectures are much sought after at symposia and workshops like his contributions to periodicals and research studies. Syamales Datta has taught valuation at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, formerly Bengal Engineering College, and has also trained up departmental officials of the WB Valuation Board and the LICI.
He has also been a visiting professor and research supervisor at Annamalai University for their M.Sc. program. Prominently, he has taught valuation at HUDCO, Institute of Urban Management (IUM), Institute of Engineering and Management (IEM), Institute of Local Government and Urban Studies (ILGUS), and Jadavpur University (JU). He has taught the IBBI certification at IOVRVF and there is a syllabus map document matching his book MREV’s ToC to the IBBI syllabus as the book is not a superset of the latter.
Datta is a soldier of the self-publishing revolution who not only refused the 12.5% royalty offered by traditional publishing but also eschewed Microsoft’s popular products to use free and open-source software for interoperability, precision etc.
Awarded the Valuer Excellence Award in 2016, his current involvements include teaching valuation with national and foreign scholars at technical institutions, authorship and valuation consultancy. Cooking and watching world classic movies are some of his hobbies. His works are intended to enable valuers to solve problems more creatively and far beyond the limits of what they directly impart, with confidence!
