Viraj Pangam
@virajpangam
I build trade, investment, and market-entry partnerships that connect international businesses with growth opportunities in India.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Empire State Development, I led New York State’s commercial engagement in India, building trade and investment ties for Indian businesses expanding to the United States.
I advanced 16 investment projects across 10 sectors, representing over USD 1.2 billion in potential capital investment and more than 2,900 projected jobs. I also supported 32 New York State companies with India market-entry planning, partner searches, distributor identification, and business matchmaking.
At Maeflower Consulting, I work across the India–UK, India–Scotland, India–Ireland, and India–Canada corridors on export promotion, investment attraction, market-entry strategy, and trade programme delivery. My work connects overseas SMEs, corporates, investors, government stakeholders, research institutions, and ecosystem partners across technology, life sciences, clean energy, mobility, and advanced materials.
I began building my cross-border market research foundation at Ken Research, where I developed research models, market-sizing analysis, competitor benchmarks, and strategic insights across emerging markets. I’m particularly interested in how artificial intelligence can improve research, consulting, business development, and economic development programmes.
