Karan Kumar has stepped down as chief marketing officer of Hero Realty, concluding a two-year stint with the company.

Kumar joined Hero Realty in 2024 and was responsible for its marketing function, including brand strategy and digital marketing.

Before joining Hero Realty, he held leadership roles across ITC, Fabindia, DLF and ART Fertility Clinics, working across marketing, business growth and brand strategy.

Following his departure, Kumar is exploring new opportunities while working on an independent advisory platform focused on business growth, marketing transformation and leadership.

Further details about the advisory platform and Kumar's future collaborations are expected to be announced later this year.

Kumar said, "The most rewarding part of my career has been helping organisations navigate moments of growth and transformation. This next chapter is about bringing those experiences to a wider set of businesses while remaining open to opportunities where I can help create meaningful business impact at scale."
