RISE Infraventures has announced its entry into the leasing segment, setting an ambitious goal of transacting one million sq. ft. within the next 18 months. The move represents a strategic diversification for the real estate advisory firm, aligning with its focus on commercial assets, including Grade A offices, shopping malls, and warehouses. The company expects this expansion to generate a gross transaction value of over ₹1,000 crore.
By channeling investments from ultra-high-net-worth individuals, RISE aims to deliver sustainable rental yields alongside ownership opportunities, thereby strengthening its competitive edge in India’s fast-growing leasing market. In addition, the company is actively building strong partnerships with GCC clients and retail brands across Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, which further reflects its aggressive growth agenda.

To drive this strategy, RISE has furthermore bolstered its leadership team with COO Bhupindra Singh and CSO Ajay Malik, while also bringing in specialists for office and retail leasing. Moreover, this leadership expansion underscores the firm’s commitment to scaling operations nationwide, thereby growing its client base and deepening its presence across key regional markets.
