Panattoni has appointed Sharad Gohil as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Panattoni India, strengthening its long-term growth strategy in the country. Gohil brings more than 25 years of experience across real estate investment, asset management, capital raising and fund management in Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

He has completed more than US$4 billion of transactions across industrial, logistics, office, residential, retail and hospitality sectors. Before joining Panattoni, Gohil served as Chief Executive Officer of IndoSpace Capital Asia, where he oversaw a business with more than US$3.2 billion of assets under management.

“India is a strategic priority for Panattoni, and we see enormous long-term potential in the market. To deliver our ambitions, we wanted the strongest leadership available in the sector. Sharad’s track record of building platforms, raising capital, and delivering growth makes him the ideal person to lead our business in India. His appointment reflects our commitment to the market and our confidence that Panattoni can become a major force in India’s industrial, logistics, and digital infrastructure sectors,” said Robert Dobrzycki, CEO and Co-Owner, Panattoni.

Panattoni entered India in 2022 and has developed its presence through projects such as Panattoni Park NH71 in Delhi-NCR, a mega-logistics park in Kochi and a specialised aerospace-grade manufacturing hub in Hyderabad. The company continues to expand its development pipeline to meet rising occupier demand for sustainable industrial and logistics space.

“Panattoni has built one of the most successful industrial real estate platforms in the world and I am excited by the opportunity to bring that experience, expertise, and ambition to India. The company has assembled an outstanding team over the past few years and established strong foundations for growth. Together, we are exceptionally well positioned to support India’s rapidly expanding industrial, logistics, and digital infrastructure requirements, including the growing demand for world-class data centre infrastructure, and to build a market-leading platform for the future,” said Sharad Gohil, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Panattoni India.

The appointment comes as Panattoni accelerates its India expansion across logistics, manufacturing, e-commerce, data centres and related infrastructure sectors. Backed by its global platform across North America, Europe, India and the Middle East, the company plans to expand across major industrial corridors and logistics hubs while pursuing digital infrastructure opportunities.
