Nirmal Shani Takes the Helm at MarketsandMarkets in Dubai

MarketsandMarkets, a prominent name in B2B consulting, has recently made a strategic appointment, naming Nirmal Ramesh Shani as the Managing Partner in Dubai. This move aligns with the company’s ambitious plans regarding an Initial Public Offering (IPO). MarketsandMarkets has garnered significant recognition as the sole Indian-origin startup on Forbes’ prestigious list of 'America's Best Management Consulting Firms for 2023'.

Shani's arrival marks a pivotal moment for the firm as it seeks to enhance its outreach and operations in the global market, particularly in the energy and industrial sectors. With over 23 years of robust experience in the industry, Shani comes to MarketsandMarkets after a successful tenure at SP Global. He brings with him a wealth of expertise, having previously worked with respected organizations such as IHS Markit, Dun & Bradstreet, and the Times of India.

In their press release, co-founders Aman Gupta and Sandeep Sugla expressed their enthusiasm for Shani's appointment. Sugla emphasized the importance of leadership during a time when sectors including energy, power, and chemicals face dramatic evolutions. He cited that the changes brought by megatrends—such as artificial intelligence, clean technology, blockchain, and the Internet of Things—are projected to unveil approximately USD 25 trillion in new revenue opportunities by 2030.

Shani's profound knowledge of emerging trends is seen as vital for expanding the company's client base, which now exceeds 13,000 globally. COO and CRO Milan Rao spoke about how Shani's leadership will bolster their AI-enabled platform, KnowledgeStore, which is poised to revolutionize how clients navigate industry shifts.

Notably, during his previous role at SP Global, Shani played a key role in creating significant platforms intended to enhance Asia's voice within the global energy landscape. These platforms included renowned events such as CERAWeek Asia Pacific Energy Forum in Houston and collaborations with authorities in Japan and Malaysia targeted at promoting sustainable energy practices in the region.

Upon his appointment, Shani expressed his commitment to enhancing MarketsandMarkets' mission, highlighting the unique capabilities of the firm in offering real-time insights into the disruptive conditions impacting global industries. He praised the comprehensive support provided by the company, particularly through its proprietary tools and dedicated growth programs tailored for clients. Shani firmly believes that the services available at MarketsandMarkets can help clients gain early mover advantages by identifying opportunities that may be overlooked.

A proud alumnus of Narsee Monjee College and Welingkar Institute of Management, Shani also dedicates time to philanthropic efforts as a member of the Board of Advisors/Governing Council at Umang Foundation. His initiatives closely align with education and health improvement in rural Indian communities.

As MarketsandMarkets prepares to navigate this new chapter with Shani's leadership, the company remains focused on redefining growth strategies amid a rapidly changing commercial landscape. Undoubtedly, Shani's extensive background and dedication to sustainability will steer the firm's future endeavors as it amplifies its presence in the global market.
