Senior Congress Party Member of Parliament (MP) & well-known author Shashi Tharoor was on Tuesday confirmed as the latest addition to the ranks of a United Kingdom (UK) -based advisory firm alongside leading British experts & former politicians.
CTD Advisors said Tharoor will provide strategic advice to its clients operating in opaque & unfamiliar political & regulatory environments & manage their reputational risk.
He joins a team made up of former British PM Theresa May, former United Kingdom (UK) National Security Advisor Sir Mark Lyall Grant, former Head of British Defence Intelligence Chris Nickols & the Friends of Israel Group's Honorary President Lord Stuart Polak.
"Corporate diplomacy, effective negotiation & having a soft power strategy in place, are vital business tools these days," said Tharoor, the author of numerous books, the most recent being The Hindu Way An Introduction' & 'Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India' which topped bestseller lists in the United Kingdom (UK).
"Ongoing Brexit uncertainty, access to public information/fake news, China & India's developing role in the new world order, & the emergence of new global relationships amid the world's disorder, are all causing geopolitical uncertainties for govts, corporates & investors, but at the same time creating opportunities to increase their influence & to succeed provided they have the right strategic advice & geopolitical due diligence, he said.
CTD Advisors was founded last year by former British banker & business strategist Shoaib Bajwa as a London-based international affairs advisory firm with global access.
It provides strategic advice to a wide range of private equity firms, corporations, hedge funds, financial institutions, high net worth (HNW) families & sovereign entities to make informed decisions & help navigate their way around unpredictable, challenging & opaque situations & environments.
Bajwa, CTD Advisors Founder & CEO, said: These are exciting times when corporations have started to address geostrategic issues.
"Having Shashi as one of our trusted advisors will give our clients the additional insight in managing crises, communication strategy & geo-economic challenges."
