Sattva Group names Gopi Krishnan Moorthy deputy general manager for HR

Sattva Group appointed Gopi Krishnan Moorthy as Deputy General Manager – Human Resources on 19 October 2026. The Bengaluru-based real estate developer and consultancy said he will support its people strategy and organisational development. The appointment is a group-level role; no city or project was specified.

Moorthy brings more than 15 years of experience in human resources strategy, talent acquisition, employee relations and workforce management across the real estate and construction sectors. Sattva said his experience in talent management, employee engagement and HR business partnering will be part of his remit.

Experience across real estate and construction

Before joining Sattva, Moorthy spent around five years at Brigade Group. He held the roles of Assistant General Manager – HR and Senior Human Resources Manager, with responsibilities spanning HR strategy, talent acquisition, talent management and HR business partnering.

His time at Brigade ended effective 1 October 2026, according to a post by Moorthy. His next appointment at Sattva follows that departure. The available details do not specify the reporting structure or the size of the team he will oversee.

Earlier, Moorthy worked for more than eight years at L&W Construction Pvt Ltd as Human Resources Manager. His work there covered HR operations, employee engagement, campus relations and workforce management. He began his career as Executive – HR at Consolidated Construction Consortium Limited, handling recruitment, performance management, compensation, statutory compliance and employee development.

Moorthy has completed the Advanced Programme in Human Resource Management at the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow. His career spans functions from recruitment and compliance to talent management and business partnering, as well as organisations in both construction and real estate.

A group-level appointment

Founded in 1993, Sattva Group is based in Bengaluru. Its activities include real estate development and consultancy. The group has residential and commercial projects in multiple markets, but the appointment announcement does not connect Moorthy’s role to a particular project, location or business division.

The hire adds to Sattva’s recent appointments in its human resources leadership. The group announced Chidambar Sirdeshpande as Chief Human Resources Officer and Head of Administration in December 2025. Sirdeshpande had previously held senior HR roles at Brigade Group, where Moorthy also worked. The announcements do not describe any change in responsibilities between the two appointments.

For Sattva, the stated purpose of Moorthy’s appointment is internal: to support its people strategy and organisational development. The announcement provides no financial details or quantified targets, and it does not set out a dated next step. The focus for the company will therefore be on how the new HR leadership role is applied across its workforce; no direct effect on buyers, project delivery or market performance was announced.
