Global wealth and investment manager Lighthouse Canton has appointed Gurjeet Sohi as managing director and head of wealth management for India, strengthening its leadership team in the country.
Gurjeet brings nearly three decades of experience from Deutsche Bank, where he held senior roles across wealth management and private banking.
In the new role, he will oversee the ongoing development of Lighthouse Canton’s India operations, focusing on strengthening client engagement, expanding ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) coverage, and integrating the company’s global wealth and asset management capabilities.
He will be supported by Atin Kumar Saha, vice chairman, wealth management and Sanjay Sharma, executive director, wealth management, who have also joined the India wealth leadership team to drive the company’s growth in India.
The appointments come as Lighthouse Canton scales its India presence in response to sustained client demand and the growing shift toward institutional-grade wealth solutions.
The company plans to double its assets under management to US$10 billion by 2027, with India positioned as one of its strongest areas.
Shilpi Chowdhary, group CEO of Lighthouse Canton, said, “What excites me about India is the sophistication of what clients are looking for. They want advisers who can navigate complexity, think globally, and deliver institutional-grade solutions. That’s precisely what we’re building at Lighthouse Canton.
“Gurjeet is a leader who has spent his career doing exactly this. His experience, his understanding of UHNW clients, and his ability to build high-performing teams make him the ideal person to take our India wealth business forward. I’m delighted to welcome him.”
