“Commercial office market is a bright spot for the real estate sector. With the support of the DLF team, I look forward to contributing to the company’s vision of sustained growth, customer satisfaction and innovation,” said Varma.

DLF, which has a strong presence in commercial and residential segments, has its key commercial properties in North India. Recently, in a bid to leverage its rent-yielding assets, the promoter group of DLF entered into a pact with Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC to sell its 40% stake in its rental arm.

The company expects to use the proceeds from stake sale to pare debt worth over Rs 22,000 crore.
