Dear Alumni,
We are pleased to welcome Sanjiv Mehta, Chairman of The East India Company.
Sanjiv acquired The East India Company in 2005 & since then has focused on bringing this esteemed brand back to life. Under his leadership, The East India Company has developed into a pioneering enterprise, with a vision to re-build one of the greatest companies of its time into a modern global luxury brand. Beginning with Fine Foods in 2010, the Company has now extended into publishing, and gold bullion and is also developing in the areas of premium spirits, fashion & accessories, furniture & home interiors, leisure and hospitality, each time embracing the essence of its heritage.
Granted a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in 1600, The East India Company was founded to explore the mysteries of the East. In the process it mapped trade routes, discovered exotic goods and established trading ports which would grow into the cities of Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai. It changed customs, tastes and ways of thinking, influencing the very fabric of our lives today.
Sanjiv is a gemologist by education and holds a finance degree from the Bombay University. From a family of diamond merchants, he started his career as a jeweler to then developed a direct to consumer business which has grown into the largest on-line retail jewelry business in India. Over the last 27 years, Sanjiv has created several other successful businesses in Russia, India, the UK and Middle East, developing a deep understanding of various aspects of global businesses.
