Shefali Pattanaik

With a foundation shaped by discipline, resilience, and leadership from my defense background, I bring nearly a decade of senior experience across luxury hospitality and commercial real estate. My career commenced at the Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, and was further strengthened by completing the prestigious Corporate Leadership Training (CLT) program at Grand Hyatt Goa in 2016. I offer enterprise-level expertise across pre-opening strategy, revenue leadership, sales and marketing, customer lifecycle management, budgeting, and forecasting. My tenure with global brands such as Hilton and Marriott International provided a board-level understanding of hospitality operations, spanning sales, business development, human capital, F&B, finance, and end-to-end operational governance. Transitioning into commercial real estate, I served as Head of Sales at Workafella, leading multi-city business development across four centers in Hyderabad, driving scalable revenue growth, institutional partnerships, and high-value client acquisitions. I subsequently advanced at AIHP in Gurgaon—one of India’s fastest-growing real estate markets—where I contributed to accelerated portfolio expansion, market entry strategy, and large-ticket deal execution. As AVP – Sales at Vianaar, I led revenue strategy, business development, and monetization initiatives, delivering sustainable profitability across premium residential assets. Currently, I work with 32nd Avenue as a Financial and Real Estate Consultant, advising on SPV structuring and ultra-luxury villa developments valued at ₹100 Cr, architected by Bill Bensley. I bring a commercially astute, growth-oriented leadership approach, consistently aligning capital, strategy, and execution to deliver superior stakeholder value.
