About

go-to advisor for hotels with a non-traditional exit

Kishan is a Senior Vice President at NewGen Advisory, specializing in complex commercial real estate transactions with a particular focus on hotel-to-alternative-use conversions. When the 2020 economic shift created widespread uncertainty around hotel assets, Kishan helped clients — including non-profit organizations and private investors — convert properties into market-rate apartments, affordable and transitional housing, and behavioral health facilities.

His ability to manage a transaction from start to finish, anticipating complexity and driving toward a clean close, has made him a trusted advisor for hoteliers and investors navigating non-traditional exits.

Before joining NewGen Advisory in 2019, Kishan founded and ran a corporate DJ business — an experience that sharpened his entrepreneurial instincts, client relationship skills, and ability to read a room, all of which translate directly into how he approaches deals today.

Outside of work, Kishan enjoys spending time with his family, attending car shows, and taking full advantage of the Arizona sunshine.
