Mr. Rishikesh Ranga

Chief Executive Officer, VB Group

As Chief Executive Officer of VB Group, Rishikesh Ranga is leading the company’s next phase of growth, with a focus on building a professionally managed and scalable real estate platform. His immediate objective is to build a ₹10,000 crore inventory pipeline over the next two years, while expanding the organisation from its current team strength of approximately 70–80 employees to around 300.

With nearly 17 years of experience across financial services and real estate, Rishikesh brings expertise spanning sales, marketing, business development, project strategy and luxury real estate. His career began with the Aditya Birla Group, where he spent around six years in financial services, managing group business portfolios and working closely with CFOs and boards of directors on institutional funds and investments.

He subsequently moved into real estate with the Lodha Group, where he was part of the core launch teams for several landmark developments, including World Towers, The Park, New Cuffe Parade, Fiorenza, Trump Towers and Palava. This experience gave him exposure to a wide spectrum of residential products, ranging from approximately ₹40 lakh to ₹45–50 crore across Mumbai and other markets.

Over the course of his real estate career, Rishikesh developed a strong focus on premium and luxury developments, particularly across Khar, Bandra, Santacruz and South Mumbai, with much of his experience centred on projects with ₹10 crore-plus ticket sizes. He later took on leadership roles at Magicrete and Justo, where he focused on scaling retail distribution and driving business development.

At the core of Rishikesh’s leadership approach are honesty, disciplined decision-making and long-term relationships. His understanding of real estate extends beyond individual projects, encompassing location potential, consumer perception, pricing, profitability, execution and the ability to successfully take a development to market.

At VB Group, this experience translates into a measured growth strategy centred on high-potential locations, disciplined capital deployment and strong execution capabilities. The company has secured approximately ₹227 crore in financial sanctions to date and follows a disciplined approach to capital utilisation and repayment, supported by promoter equity and internal accruals.

Under Rishikesh’s leadership, VB Group is working towards establishing itself as a professionally managed, scalable real estate platform built on strong locations, quality developments, financial discipline and execution excellence.
