Property consultancy firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) India has roped in Ashwinder Raj Singh from online property search firm IndiaHomes.com as chief executive officer (CEO) of its residential services business, the company said on Tuesday.
He was serving as executive vice president for sales at IndiaHomes.com.
At JLL India, Singh will take charge of residential sales and leasing business across the country and simultaneously take up a position within the firm's India leadership council.
His immediate focus area will include providing customers an open architecture platform where they can chose their homes.
Singh, who has almost two decades of experience in the real estate and financial services domain, has earlier worked with Citibank, Deutsche Bank, ICICI Bank and Fullerton Securities.
"Given his expertise within the real estate industry and particularly in the digital marketing domain, Ashwinder will play a key role in boosting our success in this business to the next level," said Anuj Puri, chairman and country head, JLL India.
Singh completed his PG diploma in business management from Fore School of Management, New Delhi and did his B Com from Panjab University.

Recently it launched a dedicated infrastructure services vertical, making it the first among its global real estate advisory services peers to look at the infra sector.
