Godrej Properties Ltd., one of India’s leading real estate developers, has announced a significant leadership transition in its Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) operations. Amitesh Shah has been appointed as the new Zonal CEO for MMR, while Sandeep Navlakhe will take over as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) starting August 1.

The changes come after the resignation of Priyansh Kapoor as Zonal CEO–MMR and Vikas Singhal as COO. The company confirmed the leadership updates through an official filing with stock exchanges earlier this week.

Amitesh Shah, a long-time executive at Godrej Properties, will assume the new CEO role effective immediately. Shah joined the company in 2011 and most recently served as the Regional Business Head for MMR. With over 20 years of experience across real estate, financial services, and technology, Shah brings deep institutional knowledge and regional expertise to the role.

Sandeep Navlakhe, who will join as COO on August 1, brings over three decades of experience in large-scale real estate and infrastructure projects. Prior to this, Navlakhe was Chief Project Officer at Adani Airport Holdings Ltd. He has also held senior leadership positions at Tata Projects, Lodha Group, and Larsen & Toubro, where he led complex developments including the Dharavi Redevelopment Project and various airport infrastructure ventures.

Godrej Properties emphasized that these appointments are part of a broader strategic effort to enhance operational execution and strengthen leadership in high-growth markets. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region remains a critical geography for the firm, contributing nearly 30% to its overall bookings.

In its official disclosure, the company stated, “The Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Amitesh Shah and Sandeep Navlakhe to lead operations and execution across the MMR and national portfolios respectively.”

Industry analysts see the reshuffle as a step toward sustaining project delivery momentum and expanding footprint in key urban hubs. With rising competition in India’s real estate sector, the firm’s focus on experienced leadership is seen as a move to maintain its edge in project quality and delivery timelines.
