BHIVE Workspace, a premium coworking and managed office brand, announced the appointment of Esha Ranjan as Chief Projects Officer (CPO).
This key leadership addition comes as BHIVE sharpens its execution engine in preparation for its planned IPO in 2026.
Esha brings over 20 years of global project delivery experience, having executed more than 8 million sq. ft. of commercial real estate across India, Australia, and New Zealand. Her portfolio spans marquee projects for global brands such as Google, LinkedIn, and IKEA, with expertise in CapEx management, vendor strategy, and design governance.
Esha held a long and impactful tenure at Smartworks, where she led the Projects function during a period of rapid scale-up. Most recently, she served in a leadership capacity at Incuspaze before taking on the strategic challenge at BHIVE.
At BHIVE, she will lead project execution, CapEx optimization, vendor management, and implementation of scalable governance systems. Her focus will be on building execution capability that can support national expansion and institutional investor expectations.
Esha Ranjan said, “What drew me to BHIVE was the founder Shesh’s bold and clear vision for what the future of workspaces should look like. BHIVE is not just a workspace provider; it’s a lifestyle-led brand. My goal is to drive scale and systemization while making execution a strategic advantage.”
Shesh Rao Paplikar, Founder & CEO of BHIVE, said, “With Esha joining the leadership team, we’re doubling down on operational excellence and IPO readiness. Her experience with institutional-grade execution and her ability to lead high-performance teams will help us scale in the right direction as we move toward our 2026 IPO.”
