Summary
Colliers has named Tammy Tang chief executive officer for Mainland China and Hong Kong, and CK Lau chairman for the same markets, according to a company statement. Both appointments take effect on January 1, 2027. Tang has led Colliers' Mainland China business for nearly a decade and will provide strategic leadership across both markets, connecting clients with opportunities in regional and international markets. Lau, who previously led the Hong Kong business, will move into the chairman role, where he will continue supporting growth and client relationships across the region. The company said the changes position Colliers for its next phase of growth in Asia Pacific as clients increasingly seek cross-border advice and services.

Tata Capital Growth Fund has appointed Aviral Jain as a partner in its third fund, Tata Capital Growth Fund III, per an announcement. Jain has nearly two decades of experience investing in and managing institutional portfolios across private and public markets. He will lead investments across sectors, from sourcing and execution to exits. Pramod Ahuja, Co-Head & Partner at TCGF, said Jain joins a "proven, stable, and highly functioning team" aligned with the firm's core philosophy. The firm said it has scaled up the fund and is close to its target, but did not disclose the amount raised.

In a press statement, he said he wants to spend more time on agentic commerce and its implications for consumption as AI reshapes commerce. Fireside manages four funds with total assets under management of Rs 5,300 crore ($650 million). The firm is led by founder and managing partner Kanwaljit Singh, co-founders and partners Kannan Sitaram and Dipanjan Basu, and partner Adarsh Menon.
