Pooja Arora — CEO
With over 18 years of experience, I work across real estate strategy, infrastructure, and workplace experience - building and scaling environments that enable organizations to grow with intent and efficiency Currently, as Vice President – Real Estate, Infrastructure & Workplace Facilities at Emeritus, I focus on creating future-ready campuses and workplaces, aligning infrastructure with business priorities and driving operational excellence at scale. Prior to this, at Blinkit (a Zomato company), I led real estate, procurement and infrastructure across multiple regions - optimising portfolios, driving cost efficiencies and ensuring disciplined execution in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. My journey has been shaped by building from the ground up. At SoftBank’s SB Energy and earlier at Oliver Wyman, I was part of the founding teams in India - setting up operations and establishing real estate and infrastructure frameworks that enabled scalable growth. Being among the first on the ground meant operating beyond defined roles, navigating ambiguity, solving in real time, and building not just infrastructure but ecosystems designed to sustain and evolve. Across roles, I have also led brand communications, branding, events and stakeholder engagement - ensuring that strategy is not only executed effectively but also communicated with clarity and purpose. I bring a strong focus on sustainability, collaboration and long-term value creation—building workplaces and infrastructure that are not only efficient, but meaningful in how they support people and business outcomes.
