Abhishek Ranjan — CEO
With over eleven years of work experience in various domains, I am a versatile and dynamic professional with a passion for public policy, international relations, and social impact. I have a strong background in government relations, outreach, strategic communications, and project management, and I hold an MBA from Liverpool Business School and a PG diploma in urban development and planning with MA in Public Administration and M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence. I have completed my engineering in Instrumentation and Control stream from Manipal Institute of Technology. I am currently working as the Head of Government Relations and Outreach at the UAE Embassy in New Delhi, where I represent the UAE's interests and values in India and foster bilateral cooperation and dialogue on various issues. In my current role, I leverage my skills in government relations, outreach, strategic communications, and policy analysis to engage with various stakeholders, including government officials, media, civil society, academia, and business leaders, and to promote the UAE's vision, initiatives, and achievements. I also coordinate and facilitate high-level visits, events, and meetings between the UAE and India, and provide timely and accurate reports and briefings on the developments in India. Additionally, I use my domain expertise to identify and explore potential areas of collaboration and innovation between the two countries. In my previous role, I worked as the Advisor to Union Minister of Education and advised on key policy, strategic, and communication issues along with parliamentary affairs work. I also coordinated with various institutes under the Ministry of Education and took stock of the progress with the institutions. Prior to that I also served at the Niti Aayog’s Atal Incubation Centre at JNU, New Delhi. I was also associated with the prestigious LAMP Fellowship whereby I worked with a Northeastern MP and advised him on key legislative and public policy issues, that honed my policy skills and further motivated to work in the policy sector. I worked with various MPs, state ministers, and leaders during this time period. Overall, my profile has been dynamic and I have always taken up interesting and challenging roles for the assignment. I look forward to utilise this space to exchange ideas and grow together!
