Girish Chhalwani is a visionary real estate leader known for his ability to identify, evaluate, and unlock land value with precision and foresight. A Business Management graduate from the University of Mumbai, he has strengthened his expertise with a PGDFM, an MBA in Marketing, and global certifications in Change Management, Strategy Management (IBMI, Germany), Digital Marketing (Google), and Strategic Sales Negotiation (Mercuri Goldman). This blend of academic rigour and on-ground experience gives him a rare combination of strategic clarity, operational depth, and market intelligence. Before establishing THE EDGE in 2017, Girish held leadership roles across renowned real estate organisations including Lodha Group, Bhairaav Group, and Adhiraj Capital City. He has successfully built and led diverse business verticals of Channel & Distribution Sales—also played a key role in Lodha Group’s expansion into the South East Asia & GCC market. As the founder of THE EDGE Developments, Girish specialises in land identification, acquisition processes, regulatory navigation, pricing structure, and market positioning. His deep understanding of land development enables the creation of plotted communities, villa estates, and large-scale developments that are aligned with future demand and long-term value creation. From Sales Manager to Business Architect His journey began on the ground — as a multi-ticket sales closer at Lodha. He soon moved into cross-functional leadership roles, contributing to channel strategy, international sales, product planning, and marketing — even generating significant revenue from regions like Southeast Asia and Dubai. By 2015, Girish had internalized the DNA of real estate scaling — and chose to channel that insight into building his own Business & Corporate Advisory. He has led over 45+ project launches, partnered with and executed 250+ marketing campaigns — directly or strategically influencing over ₹8,500 Cr in sales as Professional & Entrepreneur. As he founded a specialized Development vertical within The Edge, Girish also drives plotted developments, joint ventures, and luxury villa communities — especially in emerging markets like Karjat, Pali, Khopoli, and Raigad (Mumbai 3.0). His expertise in regulatory navigation, land structuring, and market mapping helps unlock long-term value for landowners and investors.
