Vinod Rohira
CEOMindspace Business Parks REIT
India
Equipped with an MBA from Booth School of Business, Chicago, and a law degree from the Mumbai University, Vinod began his career with the K. Raheja Corp, over two decades ago.
A fine example of his work philosophy has resulted in building brand ‘Mindspace’ – with the idea of establishing world-class business districts; a concept which has completely revolutionized the Commercial Real Estate sector in India.
Having led the development of Grade A commercial real estate across the country, and the listing of Mindspace Business Parks REIT on the Indian stock exchanges, his current focus is on driving the commercial business’ strategic operations with an emphasis on stakeholders’ management and business development.
With newly emerging markets joining the world of listed REITs, global investors will soon have more choice of where to invest. More Asian countries are planning to roll out their versions of REITs in coming months, after taking more than a decade to finally embrace the concept of securitising real estate.The bottom line is that the choice of listed property securities in Asia Pacific remains limited, and the rollouts of IPOs this year in the midst of the pandemic will, at best, cause a ripple in the global REITs ocean.
Discussion will touch on
- Is the cap rate compression story driving the value appreciation?
- Institutional investors appetite in regional REITs as opposed to direct asset purchases?
- REIT’S on an acquisition spree in certain markets?
- Performance of REITs by country
