Vineet Chauhan to take charge of Times Group's Real Estate portfolio

Times Group has announced a series of leadership realignments aimed at ensuring sharper accountability, better cross-functional collaboration, and a more structured approach to managing the evolving needs of its businesses.

According to an internal organisational announcement circulated to employees, the restructuring is intended to support the group's long-term vision and expansion plans while strengthening execution across key functions including real estate, infrastructure and procurement.

One of the key changes sees Vineet Chauhan, Executive Vice President, taking charge of the Times Group's Real Estate portfolio. Chauhan will lead the management and sales of the group's real estate assets under the supervision of the Group CEO, with a mandate to strengthen execution discipline and accelerate monetisation of the portfolio.

In addition to his new responsibilities, Chauhan will continue to head the Facility Management vertical across geographies, focusing on cost optimisation, management of shared infrastructure and oversight of facility management vendors.

The company said it expects Chauhan's experience and leadership to help maximise returns from its real estate portfolio while continuing to drive operational efficiency across facility management functions.

The Times Group has also entrusted Sanjay Singh, CEO of BPHCL, with the responsibility of leading the Projects – Offices & Infrastructure vertical. A BCCL veteran with more than two decades of association with the organisation, Singh has successfully delivered several key projects over the years.

In his expanded role, Singh will drive project execution and delivery across the Times Group, with a focus on timely implementation, operational efficiency and alignment with organisational priorities. All project team members, including those reporting to Sandeep Chugh, will now report to Singh.

According to the announcement, Singh's deep institutional knowledge and proven track record are expected to strengthen project governance and support the successful execution of multiple infrastructure initiatives across the group.

Meanwhile, Jangjeet Singh Ahlawat has joined as Head – Procurement, NMI. In his new role, he will oversee procurement functions, drive cost optimisation, harmonise procurement processes across group companies and institutionalise best-in-class procurement practices.

All Bennett University procurement team members led by Yash Pal Narang, along with other Times Group procurement teams, will report to Ahlawat.

Ahlawat brings over two decades of experience in supply chain management and procurement across sectors including media and entertainment, telecom, electronics manufacturing and KPO. Prior to joining the Times Group, he served as Head of Procurement (Non-Core) at Suzlon Energy Limited and has previously held leadership positions at ABP Network, Zee Entertainment, Bharti Airtel, TCS, Wipro BPO and LG Electronics.

The company said Ahlawat's appointment would strengthen procurement leadership, enhance governance standards and support sustained value creation across the organisation.
