Deepesh Salgia, a distinguished alumnus of IIT Madras, SPJIMR Mumbai and UCLA, is presently Director at Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate, where he has spent the larger part of his 28-year-old career. He has also worked for the Tatas and the Mahindras. Having handled a wide range of assignments in real estate; from Design to Dispute Management, Liaisoning to Land Transactions and Sales to Strategic Planning— Salgia’s forte has been problem solving in an unstructured environment. Besides his inbuilt knack for integrating ground realities in real estate with rare academic insight, this ex-IIT Bombay Maths Olympiad champion pioneered the creation of the coloured version (2004) of K. Asif ’s Mughal-e-Azam (1960). He then went on to produce an award-winning, Broadway-style musical adaptation (2016) of this classic, while providing the musical’s creative and strategic vision. Having written for most leading Indian business publications, Deepesh Salgia, an avid reader and a cinema buff, now regularly blogs and vlogs.
