Bhumika Realty cements leadership with Avinash Nagpal as president–projects
MUMBAI: Bhumika Realty has added serious muscle to its execution engine by naming industry stalwart Avinash Nagpal as president–projects. With over 27 years of bricks-and-mortar experience across India’s real estate and infrastructure giants, Nagpal steps in to steer project delivery with speed, precision, and cost smarts.
Known for his boots-on-ground approach, Nagpal has led projects at top-tier firms including Trinity Landspace, Conscient Group, Emaar MGF, Mundra Port, and Punj Lloyd — climbing the ranks from deputy manager to senior vice president. From estimation tables to site trenches, he’s been in the thick of it, delivering complex builds on time and on budget.
At Bhumika Realty, he’ll drive the entire lifecycle of development — from blueprint to brick — overseeing planning, structural execution, MEP works, finishings, and client handovers. His mandate: deliver faster, build stronger, and keep the bottom line lean.
Bhumika Group CMD Uddhav Poddar said, “We are delighted to welcome Mr. Avinash Nagpal to our team. His vast experience in managing complex residential and commercial developments, coupled with his deep understanding of construction and project delivery, aligns perfectly with our vision of creating high-quality, timely-delivered spaces. We believe his leadership will further strengthen our execution capabilities and set new benchmarks across our ongoing and future projects.”
Bhumika Group CEO Siddharth Katyal said, “Mr. Avinash’s deep expertise in project execution, technical leadership, and large-scale development management makes him a valuable addition to our leadership team. With his strategic approach and hands-on experience, we are confident he will play a key role in ensuring the timely and high-quality delivery of our projects, while further strengthening our operational excellence.”
Nagpal said, “I am honoured to be a part of Bhumika Group and look forward to contributing to its forward-looking vision. With over 27 years of experience in managing large-scale developments, my focus will be on ensuring seamless project execution, timely delivery, and uncompromising quality. I am excited to bring my expertise to strengthen the project delivery framework and support the company’s commitment to excellence in every development.”
For Bhumika, this is more than just a hire — it’s a concrete move to anchor its next chapter in operational excellence.

JBCN Education appoints The Other Circle for PR mandate
Mumbai agency to lead communications for progressive K–12 group.
MUMBAI: JBCN Education just circled in a fresh voice because when your classrooms already think outside the box, the next logical step is to get the story out of the classroom. JBCN Education has appointed Mumbai-based communications agency The Other Circle (TOC) to handle its public relations and strategic communications mandate. The partnership aims to amplify the institution’s distinctive Educreative philosophy, which blends rigorous academics with experiential learning, creativity and values-led development.
TOC will shape JBCN’s narrative through educator-led thought leadership, media engagement and strategic storytelling, fostering deeper conversations with parents, educators and the academic community on modern, meaningful learning.
JBCN Education, senior vice president for marketing Nikhil Sharma said, “Every institution has a unique narrative, one filled with innovative learning, passionate faculty, and the next generation of Changemakers. The Other Circle’s strategic approach and deep familiarity with the education sector make them the right partner to strengthen our brand presence and forge meaningful connections.”
The Other Circle Group of Companies co-founder & CEO Aakanksha Gupta added, “The best communications work happens when the story is already true—you just have to find the right way to tell it. JBCN Education represents a powerful shift in how learning is imagined and delivered in India, and that story is rich: a philosophy that’s lived in the classroom, educators who believe in it, and outcomes that speak for themselves.”
The appointment marks a new phase for JBCN as it seeks to lead national conversations around progressive education, inquiry-based learning and preparing students for an interconnected world.
In an education landscape where the real competition isn’t marks but mindset, JBCN isn’t just teaching kids, it’s teaching the country what forward-thinking learning can look like, and now it’s got a voice loud enough to make sure everyone hears it.
