Lodha Ventures renamed ‘Abhinandan Ventures’, weeks after scions decide to end dispute over Lodha brand use

One month after the Lodha brothers Abhishek and Abhinandan settled their dispute over the use of the "Lodha" brand name, Abhinandan Lodha has renamed his key company Lodha Ventures to Abhinandan Ventures.

 

Founded in 2015, Lodha Ventures began as a platform to incubate and accelerate high-growth, consumer-centric businesses. Over the years, it has expanded into multiple areas, including real estate, private equity, education, and emerging consumer opportunities.

 

Abhinandan Lodha is the younger brother of Abhishek Lodha. Abhishek, the MD and CEO of India's leading real estate developer Macrotech, had filed a case against Abhinandan in January 2025 in a bid to restrict him from using the "Lodha" brand name in his ventures.

 

The two brothers in April agreed to amicably resolve all their outstanding disputes.

 

Under the terms of the settlement, Macrotech Developers would retain the exclusive right to use the brand names "Lodha" and "Lodha Group." Abhinandan would have the exclusive right to use the brand name "House of Abhinandan Lodha" (HoABL).

 

HoABL has plotted real estate developments in many cities from Konkan, Maharashtra to Goa and Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.

 

The new identity, Abhinandan Ventures, represents a step forward in distinguishing the group’s independent vision, the company said.

 

"This shift is intended to further reflect the strength and depth of our presence across sectors—from private equity to branded land and differentiated real estate development among others," said Abhinandan Lodha.

 

While they would continue to own the brand "Lodha Ventures", the new branding would allow them to clearly communicate their philosophy and "ambitious" plans for the future, he said.

 

Apart from HoABL, Abhinandan Lodha's business has included Tomorrow Capital, BeyondSkool, and Sheetal Lodha Foundation, and all the businesses will continue to operate under their respective brand identities, the company added.

 

Lodha Group was founded by Mangal Prabhat Lodha, now a BJP legislator from Mumbai, back in 1980. His two sons decided to part ways back in 2015, when the elder Abhishek got control of the flagship real estate business—Macrotech Developers. Younger brother Abhinandan got Lodha Ventures.
