A KEEN ADVOCATE OF CHANGE, Realtor Rahul Shah feels that creativity and imagination will always serve as essential constituents in the evolution of the Sumer Group. Having taken complete charge of all major projects recently, the scion, who is the current CEO of the company, brings energy, vigour and thoughtfulness to the group, in his quest to change Mumbai’s skyline.

Rahul Shah’s family, which is now based in Mumbai, originally hails from Bhinmal, a town in the Jalore district of Rajasthan. Having grown up in the city, he schooled from the Greenlawns School (at Worli, Mumbai) and then acquired a diploma in management from the prestigious S P Jain Institute of Management and Research. He took charge as CEO of the Sumer Group in 2016 and now oversees all major projects of the group, aspiring both to augment the family business and reshape the city’s skyline.
