With extensive experience across government and the private sector, he brings a unique perspective to helping clients navigate India's complex policy environment and capitalise on emerging opportunities.

He also served as Chief of Staff to the Hon'ble Minister of Commerce & Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal, gaining direct exposure across more than ten Ministries and over a decade in the Indian and Abu Dhabi governments.

He also served as a Special Adviser to the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, working on energy, environment, tourism and culture.
