WSB Appoints Akash Rastogi as Managing Partner to Boost Logistics Real Estate

By GeoSquare News Desk · Published 2026-10-23

WSB has appointed Akash Rastogi as managing partner, a move that signals a sharper focus on the warehousing and logistics real estate segment in India. With nearly two decades of experience in real estate investment and development, Rastogi is expected to strengthen WSB's presence across key industrial corridors, including those in Maharashtra.

Why this matters for Maharashtra

Maharashtra remains a critical hub for logistics and industrial activity, driven by the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway, the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, and the upcoming multi-modal logistics parks. Rastogi's expertise in the logistics value chain could help accelerate the development of grade-A warehousing spaces near Pune, Nashik, and the Mumbai metropolitan region.

Investor outlook

For property buyers and investors, this appointment indicates growing institutional interest in industrial and logistics assets. Warehousing demand is expected to rise with the expansion of e-commerce, third-party logistics, and manufacturing. Experts suggest that Grade-A warehousing in Maharashtra could see healthy rental growth over the next few years.

Rastogi's leadership may also pave the way for new partnerships and land acquisitions in strategic locations. While no specific projects have been announced yet, the move reflects a broader trend of specialised talent driving real estate growth in the state.
