Who is Tushar ?
Born in a middle-class Mumbai-based Maharashtrian family, Tushar completed his schooling at the convent Don Bosco in
Mumbai, followed by his Science stream education at Bhavan’s College – Andheri. His passion for electronics encouraged him to
complete his double graduation in Electronics Engineering from Bombay University securing a “Gold Medal” and being a
“Topper” in his batch, followed by his Business Management Degree.
Tushar started earning his bread by working as a R&D Electronics Engineer in Mumbai wherein he designed and developed
several electronic products for various major companies in India. An unexpected telephone call from the middle east changed
his life and he shifted his base to Kingdom of Bahrain to assist the Bahraini government to implement the nationwide SCADA
system for their Wastewater & Sewage Lines.
Tushar later spent two decades in the middle east designing and implementing automation systems for the Aluminum Smelters
and the Oil & Gas sector spanning oil-rich countries like Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Eastern
European countries.
What Brings Tushar Back Home :
Being an Indian at heart, Tushar bid a farewell to the middle east and he took a call to return to India and work under the banner

Tushar brings with him an international experience of two decades, where he is aware and updated about the latest trends in
the international markets and has an established channel of communication with world’s major manufacturers and clients in the
field of Oil & Gas and Aluminium Smelters
