Insights Success

The concept of leadership is shaped by people who are eager to convert ideas into action. Leaders must be creative with their ideas. They must also possess the ability to look at challenges in new ways and solve problems by seeing things that others don’t. The role of a leader in an organization is to harness inventiveness, imagination, innovation, vision, progressiveness, originality and resourcefulness to drive sustainable and meaningful business growth.

Leadership requires a keen sense of responsibility towards the organization, its vision and its people. It is crucial for a leader to establish effective communication, so she/he is approachable to everyone and every team member is well aware and accountable in achieving his/her goals. Sangeeta Prasad, the Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited (‘MLDL’), is one such transformational leader and role model. With her determination and proficiency, she is an inspiration to many and is continually raising the bar on leadership.

An Intellectual Businesswoman

Sangeeta started her career with Tata Steel, where she gained strategic experience and exposure across businesses, functions and locations. She holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from Jadavpur University and an MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow. She took over as MLDL MD & CEO in 2018 and is responsible for setting the strategic direction that will guide the company in its next phase of growth, as it completes 25 years of urban developments across India. She is also a frequent speaker and panelist at prestigious industry and international events. She has addressed audiences at multiple editions of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, where she led discussions on trends, challenges and opportunities in urbanization; business and people strategy in the digital era; and action on climate change. She was also a speaker at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, or ‘COP 21’, in Paris, and at the eighth Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM8) held in Beijing in 2017. Additionally, she is also a member of the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) South Asia board and Co-Chair of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Urban Development and Smart Cities Council.

Trust and Reliability

Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited (‘MLDL’) is one of India’s most trusted developers with a proven track-record in residential and industrial developments. The company is the real estate and infrastructure development arm of the Mahindra Group, a USD 20.7 billion federation of companies headquartered in Mumbai, India since 1945. MLDL is committed to transforming India’s urban landscape through its residential developments under the ‘Mahindra Lifespaces’ and ‘Happinest’ brands; and through its integrated cities and industrial clusters under the ‘Mahindra World City’ and ‘ORIGINS by Mahindra World City’ brands respectively. Rising income, urbanisation and economic growth are driving demand for real estate and infrastructure development in India. A new regulatory framework has resulted in a shift towards transparency and accountability in favour of organised developers with strong brand equity. India’s real estate markets are increasingly end user focused and the value proposition of both the product and experience is more important than ever before.
