Bio
Harsha Pahuja
Dhaval helped me with my fashion label. He is my go to person for any kind of business idea evaluation and is always open to discussions and suggestions.
Gaurav SHEREGAR
I had the opportunity to work with Dhaval on a project during my initiation week at Singhi. The quality which most stood out to me was his sincere inclination towards integrating and making me feel part of the team and catering to my queries whenever required. Since then, we've had many interesting conversations, mainly concerning the current & future M&A trends and the general macro-economic trends governing the Indian economy. His strong technical know-how and curated soft-skills will be an asset to any organization.
