His education includes graduation from Jai Hind College, University of Mumbai, and participation in an Owner/President Management program at Harvard Business School in Boston.

Career

Oberoi entered the family business and rose to lead Oberoi Realty Limited as chairman and managing director. In the early 1990s he took on senior roles within the group, becoming managing director at Oberoi Constructions Limited in 1993 and steering several land acquisitions and development projects that shaped the company’s profile in residential, retail, hospitality and commercial real estate.

Under his leadership, the company purchased a 60‑acre campus in Goregaon in 2002 and redeveloped it into a mixed township including residential towers, a mall, office buildings, a school and a five‑star hotel. Around the same period the group acquired a strategic four‑acre parcel in Worli. More recent projects include the joint‑venture delivery of Mumbai’s first Ritz‑Carlton Hotel and Residences in 2023 and work on a Mumbai midtown development incorporating a hotel, mall and office tower.

Beyond the core real estate enterprise, Oberoi has held directorships in related ventures such as Kingston Property Services Limited (appointed 2007), Astir Realty LLP and Pinnacle Aviation Pvt Limited (appointed 2012). Since 2011 he has served as a trustee of the Employees Group Gratuity at the Oberoi Foundation.
