Widely recognised for scaling real estate platforms and for his expertise in developing integrated townships, Singh is also known for his extensive experience in institutional capital, finance and property technology. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of BCD Group and Co-founder of BCD Royale, the group’s development arm, which is developing a 70-acre integrated township in Bangalore. In this role, he has played a pivotal part in advancing the group’s strategic expansion into real estate development and integrated urban growth.
His reappointment comes at a critical juncture for India’s real estate sector, which is undergoing a far-reaching structural transformation driven by infrastructure expansion, rapid urbanisation, technology adoption, increasing participation from capital markets and growing global investor interest in India’s long-term economic growth.
As Chairman of the CII Real Estate Committee (Northern Region), Singh will continue to work closely with policymakers, developers, financial institutions, investors, entrepreneurs and other industry stakeholders to strengthen collaboration across the sector and contribute to the next phase of India’s urban and economic development.
Over the years, Singh has emerged as a prominent industry representative at national and international forums, participating in strategic discussions involving senior policymakers, global investors and business leaders. He has also led several CII delegations to the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and London, helping to deepen international engagement and position India’s real estate sector within broader global investment discussions.
Singh brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across some of India’s most prominent organisations. His career includes serving as Chief Executive Officer of Bhartiya Urban, where he led the development of a 150-acre integrated township, Chief Executive Officer of JLL Residential, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of ANAROCK, and holding senior leadership roles at Citibank, Deutsche Bank, ICICI Bank, Fullerton Singapore and Bajaj Housing Finance.
Throughout his professional journey, he has played a key role in property sales and development initiatives exceeding USD 5 billion. He has also made significant contributions to discussions on institutional funding, housing finance, property technology innovation and integrated urban development.
Commenting on his reappointment, Ashwinder R. Singh said, “The Indian real estate sector is entering one of the most important phases in its evolution. The opportunity today is not just to build projects, but to help build a stronger, more globally competitive India. CII has consistently played an important role in fostering constructive industry dialogue, and I look forward to continuing to work with stakeholders across sectors to contribute meaningfully to this journey.”
In addition to his industry leadership roles, Singh serves as Advisor to NAR-India and Mentor at Earth Fund, a venture platform focused on property technology, sustainability and urban technology innovation, backed by Brigade Group and Gruhas. He is also a member of several advisory boards spanning real estate, finance, media and technology.
A three-time bestselling author and award-winning industry commentator, Singh is also the voice behind the widely followed Open House newsletter and serves as Chief Advisor for Real Estate at Republic Media Network, where his insights regularly shape discussions on policy, markets, infrastructure and urban development.
His contributions have earned widespread recognition, including the Real Estate Person of the Year 2025 award and the Best Business and Money Author of 2024 honour. He continues to be acknowledged for combining deep industry experience with strategic clarity and a long-term perspective on the sector.
The Confederation of Indian Industry, one of India’s leading industry bodies, works closely with government, businesses and civil society to promote economic growth, competitiveness, sustainability and nation-building initiatives across sectors. Singh’s reappointment is expected to further strengthen the organisation’s efforts to guide India’s real estate sector through a transformative period of growth and global integration.
