Pirojsha Godrej, Executive Chairman—Godrej Properties, said: “I am delighted that we are appointing Gaurav as our next Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The strong value creation he has delivered as CEO of our business in the North Zone combined, with his demonstrated passion and leadership, makes him a great fit for this role.”

“Pandey has over 17 years of experience in the real estate sector. As the CEO of the North Zone, Gaurav transformed the P&L of the business and built a high performing team.
