Mangalore has always been a broth of talented engineers, doctors, accountants and other professionals who are serving India and the world community.

In addition, he is a board member/advisor of Tricolour Investments, Ducont, Regent Technologies, KEL Holdings Ltd, Mangalore Internet City Pvt. Ltd., Al Ghurair University, Dubai, and St. Joseph’s Arts & Science College, Bangalore.

    Three cheers to MCCP Muscat for organizing a Workshop on Entrepreneurship, the first of its kind in Muscat organized by MCCP under the dynamic leadership of the incumbent President Clarence Kaikamba. Its wonderful to see the top brass of KEL in Muscat. Undoubtedly, it's a need of the hour. I am quite optimistic that successful businessmen in Oman join KEL to make their dreams come true!
