SRK Consulting is pleased to announce the appointment of Subrato Ghosh as the Chairman of the Board of SRK Mining Services (India) Private Limited, following his 17-year term as Managing Director.
As SRK India MD, Subrato set up SRK’s new office in Kolkata in 2006 and spearheaded the development of the business nationally and internationally over the subsequent years, building a highly skilled and motivated multi-disciplinary technical team. Initially focussed on coal and industrial minerals, SRK India’s commodity focus has broadened to include base and precious metals, iron ore, bauxite and more recently critical minerals.
Subrato notes: "SRK India’s network of clients has grown considerably, along with our technical team, diversity of skills, and commodity expertise. We are committed to supporting the Indian mining industry at home and abroad with the application of international best practice, working with our network of international SRK experts to support us.”
Subrato highlights that SRK has always had a reputation for delivering robust solutions for clients, based on strong technical studies, innovative approaches and truly independent advice: “We recognise that the mining industry is changing – our clients face numerous technical and ESG related challenges, as the world looks to develop its mineral deposits in a manner consistent with the green transition, and our industry remains an important driver of economic development in India. We continue to look at ways to innovate, improve and diversify our services, so as to be fully prepared to support the industry evolution and adaptations.”
Subrato’s appointment underscores SRK’s commitment to ensuring business continuity, fostering strong leadership, and developing sustainable growth in SRK India, following on from the appointment of Shameek Chattopadhyay as Managing Director earlier in the year. As Shameek notes:
“Subrato’s guidance and leadership has been instrumental in putting SRK India on a sound technical and financial footing. We are very happy that in this new role Subrato will continue to support our team with new and existing client relationships, future business development, technical excellence, diligence, and maintaining SRK’s culture”.
SRK is confident that Subrato's wealth of experience, extensive industry network and proven leadership skills will continue to drive success within our India office by his continued support to the new MD, the SRK India Practice Leaders and staff, and our respected network of valued clients.
