MUMBAI: Prime Developments has brought a new player to the frontlines of its sales and strategy game. Bobby Kuramdas, a seasoned hand in both real estate and service-led industries, has been named assistant vice president, sales & strategy, at the Delhi-NCR based real estate firm.
Kuramdas enters the role with nearly two decades of experience, having cut his teeth at high-profile brands like Kingfisher Airlines and Krisumi Corporation. Known for marrying hospitality with housing, Kuramdas has built a reputation for trust-driven sales, team leadership, and customer-centric thinking.
“It’s a privilege to join an organisation that places such high value on design, detail, and the customer experience. Throughout my career, I’ve believed that great sales outcomes are the result of authentic service and a culture of trust—values that are clearly embedded here. My focus will be to build on these foundations and contribute meaningfully to the brand’s journey of creating distinctive spaces that reflect both aspiration and responsibility. I look forward to supporting the team in delivering on the brand’s promise and enhancing its standing in the real estate landscape”, Kuramdas said.
From building strong partnerships to refining the sales funnel, Kuramdas will play a pivotal role in shaping the brand’s next growth curve. His appointment aligns with Prime’s ambition to redefine what homebuyers in Delhi NCR can expect—beyond luxury, towards memorable ownership experiences.
“We are delighted to welcome Bobby to our leadership team. His deep understanding of hospitality-driven real estate and commitment to elevating customer experience make him a valuable asset to our organization. As we move into the next chapter of our growth, his presence will strengthen our ability to deliver homes that not only meet but exceed expectations”, said Prime Developments founder & director Raghav Malhotra.
Kuramdas’ appointment signals Prime’s continued belief in design-led thinking and service-oriented growth. As the company charts new ground, it appears set on delivering more than just homes—it’s preparing buyers to, as the brand puts it, ‘Expect More’.
