Shirwatkar will oversee financial planning, strategy, treasury, compliance, and governance.

Gera Developments has appointed Rajesh Yashwant Shirwatkar as its Chief Financial Officer, adding him to the company's senior leadership team as it continues to expand its real estate operations. In this role, he will lead the company's financial strategy and oversee functions such as financial planning, treasury management, compliance, and corporate governance.
The appointment comes as part of a broader leadership restructuring within the organisation. Alongside Shirwatkar's appointment, Swapan Mukherjee has been elevated to the role of Group Chief Financial Officer. In his new position, Mukherjee will supervise financial operations across the wider group and provide oversight on financial planning and governance at the group level.
Managing Director Rohit Gera indicated that Mukherjee's expanded responsibilities would include guiding financial strategy across the organisation and ensuring that the company continues to maintain a strong financial structure while it scales its operations. The leadership transition reflects the company's effort to further strengthen financial management and internal systems as it prepares for the next phase of growth.
Shirwatkar brings more than two decades of experience in finance, with a strong background in the real estate sector. Prior to joining Gera Developments, he served as Deputy Chief Financial Officer at Shriram Properties. In that role, he was involved in financial planning, capital management and regulatory compliance as the company expanded its residential development portfolio.
Earlier in his career, he also worked with Assetz Property Group as Senior General Manager Finance, where he handled financial strategy, project finance and financial operations. His experience in managing financial structures for large residential developments is expected to support Gera Developments as it continues to expand its project pipeline and strengthen financial processes.
Gera Developments, headquartered in Pune, has established a strong presence in the residential real estate sector with several projects across Pune and other cities. The developer is known for its premium residential projects and branded housing concepts, including developments focused on lifestyle amenities and integrated communities.
In recent years, the company has continued to focus on expanding its residential portfolio while maintaining structured financial management. Strengthening leadership in the finance function is considered important for developers managing multiple projects, capital flows, and regulatory requirements in a competitive housing market.
