Nair, who joined JLL as an analyst in 1999, became CEO of the India business in 2017.

Anthony Couse, CEO, JLL Asia Pacific, said: “Ramesh Nair has been a great asset to JLL in his two decades with the firm.”

Welcoming Dhir, Couse said: “I am confident that by bringing in a leader from outside of real estate, whose skills complement our existing team, we will be able to take the business to the next level.”
