Raymond has appointed Salil Bawa as Group Head – Investor Relations, with a mandate to lead investor engagement and capital-markets strategy across the group’s listed entities. Bawa will be on the roll of Raymond Realty Limited.
A Chartered Financial Analyst with more than 25 years of experience, Bawa joins Raymond from the LNJ Bhilwara Group, where he led group corporate development and investor relations. His experience spans demergers, IPOs, QIPs and strategic capital raises, having worked closely with global institutional investors and analysts.
Bawa has also built and led investor relations functions across several listed groups, including Welspun Group. His appointment comes as Raymond operates through three focused, listed value-creation platforms.
“Salil joins us at a defining moment. Raymond today operates as three focused, listed value-creation platforms, and telling that story with clarity and conviction to global investors is central to unlocking the value we are building. Salil's track record and his standing with the world's leading institutions make him the right leader to take our investor engagement to the next level,” said Rakesh Tiwary, Group CFO, Raymond Group.
Bawa brings relationships across sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and long-only institutions, alongside experience in expanding analyst coverage and strengthening institutional participation.
At Welspun Group, he tripled institutional ownership in approximately 18 months through focused investor targeting and global roadshows across the US, Europe and Asia. He has also received the Best Investor Relations Officer recognition, based on a global fund-manager poll.
