With over 30 years of experience in international business development, I am a seasoned expert in strategy, innovation, and change management, with a special focus on Africa. As a former Principal Consultant at Shapoorji Pallonji And Company Limited, one of India's leading conglomerates, I led the Africa Business Centre and oversaw the conceptualization, planning, financing, and implementation of various infrastructure and industrial projects across the continent.I have extensive contacts and detailed knowledge of the business environment and opportunities in over a dozen African countries, where I have successfully executed projects in sectors such as power generation, water management, port development, edible oil refining, food processing, soap manufacturing, and plastic packaging. I am also a UNCTAD/GATT Fellow in International Business, with a postgraduate diploma in international business from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. I am passionate about unleashing creative thinking and transforming ideas into concrete concepts that deliver value and impact. I am fluent in English, French, and Hindi, and have a keen interest in music production and therapy.
