Housing.com appoints Aditya Singh Sandhu as chief revenue officer
Veteran executive joins as platform sharpens revenue strategy and expands into tier-2 markets
GURGAON: Digital real estate platform Housing.com has appointed Aditya Singh Sandhu as chief revenue officer, betting on his two decades of leadership experience to turbocharge revenue growth and sharpen its go-to-market strategy.
Based out of the company’s Gurgaon office, Sandhu will spearhead efforts to expand market presence, accelerate revenue growth and scale commercial operations across key business segments.
Sandhu brings more than 20 years of experience spanning India and the United States, with stints across FMCG, e-commerce and technology-led firms. Over the course of his career he has built and scaled businesses at different stages—from early-stage startups to large enterprises.
Before joining Housing.com, Sandhu held senior leadership roles at ITC Limited, Udaan, Nykaa, VLCC and Ustraa. He also brings entrepreneurial credentials, having co-founded a startup where he served as chief operating officer and helped build a customer-centric, cash-flow-positive business model.
Praveen Sharma, chief executive of REA India, said the appointment comes at a crucial moment as the company prepares for its next phase of expansion.
“We are delighted to welcome Aditya to Housing.com at such a pivotal stage of our growth journey. His extensive experience across diverse sectors, combined with his strong business acumen and people-first leadership style, makes him uniquely suited to lead our revenue function,” Sharma said.
Sandhu said the country’s rapidly evolving digital real estate ecosystem offers significant headroom for growth.
“I am excited to join Housing.com at a time when the digital real estate ecosystem in India is evolving rapidly. The platform has built a strong foundation and holds immense potential to further transform how people discover and transact real estate,” Sandhu said.
He added that the company’s recent push into 15 new tier-2 cities opens the door to a wider pool of homebuyers.
“With Housing.com recently expanding into 15 new tier-2 cities, there is a tremendous opportunity to bring digital-first property discovery to a wider base of homebuyers. I look forward to working with the team to drive growth, enhance customer value, and build a robust, future-ready revenue engine,” he said.
Founded in 2012, Housing.com was acquired by REA India, formerly known as Elara Technologies, in 2017. The platform now operates in more than 45 cities across tier-1 and tier-2 markets, offering listings across new homes, resale homes, rentals, plots, commercial spaces and co-living accommodation, alongside advertising solutions for developers and brokers.
With Sandhu now steering the revenue engine, Housing.com is signalling clear intent: scale faster, push deeper into India’s expanding property markets and tighten its grip on the country’s digital house-hunting boom.

Lululemon picks former Nike executive to be its next chief
Heidi O’Neill, who helped grow Nike into a $45 billion giant, will take the top job in September
CANADA: Lululemon has found its next chief executive, and she comes with serious credentials. The athleisure giant named Heidi O’Neill as its new CEO on Wednesday, ending a search that has left the company running on interim leadership since earlier this year. O’Neill will take charge on September 8, 2026, based out of Vancouver, and will join the board on the same day.
O’Neill brings more than three decades of experience across performance apparel, footwear and sport. The bulk of that time was spent at Nike, where she was a central figure in one of corporate sport’s great growth stories, helping take the company from a $9 billion business to a $45 billion global powerhouse. She oversaw product pipelines, brand strategy and consumer connections, and played a significant role in shaping how Nike spoke to athletes around the world. Earlier in her career, she worked in marketing for the Dockers brand at Levi Strauss. She also brings boardroom experience from Spotify Technology, Hyatt Hotels and Lithia and Driveway.
The board was unequivocal in its enthusiasm. “We selected Heidi because of the breadth of her experience, her demonstrated success delivering breakthrough ideas and initiatives at scale, and her ability to be a knowledgeable change and growth agent,” said Marti Morfitt, executive chair of Lululemon’s board.
O’Neill, for her part, was bullish. “Lululemon is an iconic brand with something rare: genuine guest love, a product ethos rooted in innovation, and a global platform still in the early stages of its potential,” she said. “My job will be to accelerate product breakthroughs, deepen the brand’s cultural relevance, and unlock growth in markets around the world.”
Until she arrives, Meghan Frank and André Maestrini will continue as interim co-CEOs, before returning to their previous senior leadership roles once O’Neill steps in.
Lululemon is betting that a Nike veteran who helped build one of the world’s most powerful sports brands can do something similar for an athleisure label that has genuine love from its customers but is still chasing its full global potential. O’Neill has done it before at scale. The question now is whether she can do it again.
