Alcon Developers in Goa was founded in 1971 by Anil Counto and Victor Albuquerque, setting the diversified large real estate developer role in the city. Better known as Anil Counto Enterprises, has since emerged as one of the bigger diversified business groups in Goa, consisting of construction, real estate, besides manufacturing, hospitality, trading and logistics business operations. The Real Estate segment of the group has constituted exclusive platted societies in all parts of the state from coast to hinterland and the communities currently under development include Siridao and Margao in Pernem. With provision of access roads, drainage and provisioning of electric/water connections and landscaped open space before construction works are executed.
Alcon's credentials in construction could not be bettered for the group as it is a joint partner of the major cement manufacturers such as ACC and Ambuja, in addition to the first ready-mix concrete plant in Goa. The realty brand has recently been launching residential projects aimed at locals as well as non-residents, especially in the Panjim area – among the recent developments include the Estrela and The Emblem projects. For over five decades, founder Anil Counto has also received public recognition for civic and cultural work done in Goa, including awards from Goa's Chief Minister, further solidifying a business identity that transcends commercial building to community position and respect.
