In a move that underscores Lodha Developers Limited’s focus on strengthening its leadership pipeline, the Pune-focused leadership roster is being recalibrated as part of an internal reorganization. The company disclosed that Kunal Gandhi will be elevated within the senior-management framework, while Tikam Jain will transition from his current strategic designation to an operational role, effective September 1, 2026. The changes reflect Lodha’s intent to sharpen execution in its regional engine while preserving continuity in its Pune operations.
Kunal Gandhi, who has been serving as Regional CEO for Pune, is set to be categorized as Senior Management Personnel (SMP) moving forward. The role elevation comes on the heels of a career that spans over two decades in corporate strategy, regional growth, and entrepreneurship. Gandhi joined Lodha in 2018, steering corporate strategy for three years before turning his sights to the Pune region to bolster customer strategy and strengthen the Lodha brand. Notably, his entrepreneurial stint as founder and CEO of Logic Roots prior to Lodha adds a dimension of outside-the-box thinking to his profile.
Concurrently, Tikam Jain, already at the helm as CEO-Pune, will cease to be categorized as SMP due to organizational restructuring and will transition to an operational role within the company. This move aims to align leadership functions more closely with on-ground execution, ensuring that Pune’s operations stay nimble and market-responsive amid Lodha’s growth agenda.
Taken together, the changes signal Lodha’s emphasis on formalizing internal leadership pathways while keeping a steady hand on its regional growth engine. As the Pune team continues to drive customer experience and brand strength, the leadership shifts invite a closer look at how these executives will shape the company’s next phase of expansion.
