Real estate advisory firm RISE Infraventures has announced its entry into the leasing vertical, to focus on commercial real estate development and leasing across Grade offices, retail spaces, high streets,
malls, warehouses, and flex workspaces, according to a statement.
The company has set a target of transacting a million sqft of space in the next 12–18 months, with an expected gross transaction value (GTV) exceeding Rs 1,000 crore. RISE will also channel investments from UHNIs and family offices into pre-leased and income-generating assets, ensuring clients secure not just ownership but sustainable rental yields. Earlier, the firm achieved a significant milestone by recording Rs 3,800 crore in gross sales during the financial year 2024-25, with a consistent performance in commercial real estate, the company said.
RISE said its leasing operations will have a pan-India footprint, with a strong focus on Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities beyond metros. With retail consumption surging in smaller cities, the firm sees significant growth in high streets and malls, particularly in Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, and Eastern UP. The company anticipates adding 25–30% new clients within 12–18 months, driven by strong interest from GCC occupiers and retail brands that are already in discussions, according to the statement.
“To steer this expansion, RISE has onboarded a strong leadership team of industry professionals. Bhupindra Singh, COO, will drive nationwide expansion and operational excellence; Ajay Malik, Chief Strategy Officer, will lead strategic growth and investor mandates; Sonakshi Wadhawan, CBO – Office Transactions, will head office leasing across India with a sharp focus on GCC clients; and Manish Srivastava, Head – Retail, will spearhead retail leasing across metros and Tier-1 & 2 cities, building brand traction in high streets and malls across India,” it said.
Sachin Gawri, founder and CEO of RISE Infraventures, said, “This is a proud milestone for us. The induction of industry experts like Bhupindra, Ajay, Sonakshi & Manish marks a pivotal step in our journey. With their expertise, we are not just entering the leasing space—we are setting a strong foundation to become a leader in it. Their comprehensive skills complement our vision of building a 360-degree real estate advisory platform, and together we are confident of delivering unparalleled value to our clients.”
Shantanu Gambhir, co-founder and managing director of RISE Infraventures, said, “At RISE, we have always believed that the right team & is the biggest differentiator in our industry. With this leadership in place, we are confident of expanding our presence across leasing and beyond.”
The company will also enter asset management, with its first Development project expected to be announced in Gurugram shortly. With this forward-looking approach, RISE is well-positioned to accelerate its growth trajectory in India’s high-end real estate sector, it added.
