Mindspace Business Parks REIT has appointed Priya Mathias as Head of Marketing as the company sharpens its focus on workplace branding, digital engagement, and customer experience. With more than 20 years of experience across hospitality, luxury real estate, and logistics, Mathias will lead integrated marketing and stakeholder engagement initiatives for the Grade A office REIT platform.
Mindspace Business Parks REIT has appointed Priya Mathias as its new Head of Marketing, marking a strategic leadership addition as India’s commercial real estate sector increasingly focuses on workplace experience, brand positioning, and occupier engagement.
Based in Mumbai, Mathias will oversee marketing initiatives across one of India’s largest Grade A office REIT platforms. Her responsibilities will include brand leadership, integrated marketing strategy, digital transformation, stakeholder communication, and expanding both B2B and B2C outreach efforts across the company’s commercial office portfolio.
The appointment comes at a time when office developers and workspace operators are moving beyond traditional leasing strategies and investing more heavily in customer experience, workplace culture, and community-led engagement.
Focus Expands Beyond Infrastructure and Leasing
The evolving office market is changing how commercial real estate brands position themselves. Companies are no longer competing solely on location or rental economics. Instead, factors such as workplace experience, employee engagement, wellness infrastructure, and community-building are becoming increasingly important for attracting enterprise occupiers.
Mindspace REIT’s latest leadership move reflects this broader industry shift.
According to the company, Mathias will also lead customer and community engagement initiatives, as well as large-scale events and brand experiences, to improve visibility and strengthen market presence.
Industry experts believe that as flexible work models and hybrid office strategies continue evolving, developers are increasingly treating branding and occupier engagement as long-term strategic functions rather than support activities.
Priya Mathias Brings Cross-Sector Experience
Mathias joins Mindspace REIT with more than two decades of experience across hospitality, luxury residential real estate, and industrial logistics sectors. Her professional background spans brand strategy, customer engagement, and large-scale marketing leadership across multiple industries closely linked to experience-driven real estate environments.
Speaking about her new role, Mathias said she was drawn to the “evolving conversation around workplaces” and how offices are increasingly being shaped by “culture, community and employee experience rather than just infrastructure.”
Her comments reflect a growing trend across India’s commercial office sector, where workplace design and experience are becoming central to occupier decision-making.
The integration of hospitality-led experiences into office environments has become especially prominent in Grade A office developments and managed workspace ecosystems catering to multinational corporations and Global Capability Centres (GCCs).
REITs Increasingly Prioritise Brand and Occupier Experience
India’s office REIT sector has witnessed rapid growth over the past few years, as institutional investors and occupiers continue to show strong interest in income-generating Grade A office assets.
Alongside portfolio expansion and leasing growth, REIT platforms are now placing greater emphasis on tenant engagement, digital communication, sustainability positioning, and long-term brand differentiation.
Mindspace Business Parks REIT, backed by K Raheja Corp, has been actively strengthening its office portfolio and occupier ecosystem across major commercial hubs. Industry observers believe leadership appointments focused on marketing and customer experience could play a larger role in shaping future occupier retention and brand loyalty strategies.
At K Raheja Corp, Mathias will report to Ramesh Nair and work closely with the Mindspace Business Parks REIT leadership team.
Workplace Experience Emerges as a Competitive Advantage
The appointment also highlights a broader transformation within India’s office market, where companies increasingly expect workplaces to function as collaborative ecosystems rather than purely operational spaces.
As enterprise occupiers continue to prioritise flexibility, employee well-being, and workplace engagement, commercial real estate developers are adapting by building stronger, brand-led workplace experiences.
Mindspace REIT’s latest move signals how marketing, community engagement, and experience-driven office environments are becoming critical differentiators in India’s evolving Grade A office and flexible workspace ecosystem.
