Leadership

Six leadership dimensions. Four international advisors.

Origination, structuring, governance and execution — each capability required for complex infrastructure projects is deliberately represented at the leadership table.

Leadership Team

The founding team

Anil Mungali
Anil Mungali
Entrepreneurial Leadership & Complex Infrastructure Execution
  • Business leader and entrepreneur (four decades)
  • Real estate developer across residential, commercial and hospitality projects
  • Pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) from SSBM Geneva, in management
What This Brings To Alticord

Four decades of building and turning around businesses across real estate, manufacturing, FMCG and hospitality, with a strong understanding of emerging markets and on-ground execution.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Anil brings an owner-operator perspective to infrastructure, driving everything from land and project development to procurement, cost control, government relationships and execution in challenging geographies. This hands-on entrepreneurial approach ensures that localised bottlenecks are anticipated and managed effectively, keeping large-scale projects viable and on schedule in difficult terrain.

Nitin Phadke
Nitin Phadke
Strategic Expertise & Global Construction Oversight
  • Chairman, LUMIQ Wealth
  • Director, Oakbridge Capital Pte Ltd, Singapore
  • 14+ years as Director, Millennium Coating Pte Ltd and Perpetual Design & Build Pte Ltd, Singapore
What This Brings To Alticord

Decades of cross-functional experience spanning construction & architectural finishing, large-scale infrastructure including airports, IT and industrial parks, SEZs, and strategic expertise in M&A and cross-border transactions.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Complex mountain infrastructure carries real execution and commercial risk. Nitin's combination of hands-on construction leadership and cross-border transaction advisory gives Alticord the judgment to structure projects the way international contractors, technology partners and financiers expect — and to see execution risk before it becomes a problem.

Arivudinambi “Nambi” Jagannathan
Arivudinambi “Nambi” Jagannathan
Contractor Relations & Strategic Partnerships
  • 31-year career in technology entrepreneurship
  • Founder of ventures since 2007 — IT services, workforce tech, geospatial, digital platforms
  • Active in AI/ML and emerging technology
  • Startup India Program (Invest India); Annamalai University (1991–1995)
What This Brings To Alticord

Three decades of building, launching and commercialising technology-led ventures — the pattern-recognition and relationship-building instincts of a founder, not an employee.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Alticord's model depends on originating opportunities and securing the right global execution partners. Nambi leads the Company's contractor relations and partnership discussions, applying an entrepreneur's discipline for identifying real capability and converting relationships into working commercial arrangements.

Janak Kaviratna
Janak Kaviratna
Corporate Governance & Compliance
  • 20+ years of professional experience at Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL)
  • Background across human resource management within a large public-sector enterprise
  • Former Member, Central Board of Film Certification
What This Brings To Alticord

Two decades inside one of India's largest corporate and public-sector environments — where governance, compliance and institutional process are non-negotiable.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

A government-facing infrastructure company must be able to demonstrate governance discipline from day one. Janak brings that large-enterprise rigor to Alticord's Board, together with the stakeholder-management maturity that comes from operating within a major national corporation.

Veeraraghavan “Veer” Viswanathan
Veeraraghavan “Veer” Viswanathan
Operations & 0 → 1 Execution
  • CEO, LUMIQ Wealth — led its 0-to-1 build across Singapore & India
  • PGPM, IMT Ghaziabad; PG Diploma in Securities Law, Govt. Law College, Mumbai
  • Alticord Board member — operations, statutory compliance & banking
What This Brings To Alticord

A demonstrated 0-to-1 builder — someone who has taken a financial platform from concept to an operating, regulated, cross-border business, with real fluency in compliance and regulatory structuring.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Every ambitious platform needs someone who can turn strategy into a functioning organisation. Veeraraghavan builds Alticord's operating backbone — entity structure, statutory compliance, banking and day-to-day discipline — the unglamorous infrastructure that lets every other capability actually deliver.

Vibhu Mungali
Vibhu Mungali
Analytics, Management & Board Oversight
  • Business Data Analytics
  • Business Administration and Management Program, W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University
  • Board member, Alticord Infrastructure & Mobility Pvt Ltd
What This Brings To Alticord

A formal grounding in data analytics and business administration, applied to how a young infrastructure enterprise structures its decisions, systems and management processes.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Complex, multi-partner infrastructure projects generate large amounts of commercial, technical and stakeholder information. Vibhu brings the analytical and management discipline needed to turn that information into sound decisions — and sits on Alticord's Board to anchor that discipline at the governance level.

International Advisory Board

A senior layer of global construction, finance and development judgment

Alticord's International Advisory Board brings together senior practitioners with decades of experience across construction, finance, infrastructure, operations, nature-based development and cross-border projects across Asia and international markets. Their combined expertise spans major project development and investment, construction and site leadership, safety and operations, conservation-led visitor infrastructure, architecture and masterplanning, real estate development, arbitration and future mobility — an institutional layer, not a decorative one.

Andrew Khng
Andrew Khng

What This Brings To Alticord

Decades of top-tier institutional construction experience guiding a premier, second-generation Singaporean construction group, layered with deep diplomatic credentials and high-level industry leadership across Asia.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

His track record delivering large-scale Government-to-Government infrastructure in India ensures Alticord can navigate cross-border development, international compliance and high-stakes stakeholder management.

  • Architect, masterplanner and international arbitrator; 35+ years of executive leadership across ASEAN
  • Former CEO, Ong&Ong Vietnam Group
  • Founder & Chairman, David Ching & Partners; Chairman & CEO, Janus Group

What This Brings To Alticord

A unique combination of architectural leadership, masterplanning expertise, infrastructure development experience and international relationships across ASEAN, built over 35 years of executive practice.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Complex infrastructure requires more than engineering — it requires integrating planning, architecture, development, stakeholders, financing, regulation and long-term urban outcomes. David's career brings these disciplines together through multidisciplinary leadership, major urban developments, and government and institutional engagement, adding a broader strategic perspective to Alticord's complex infrastructure projects.

Hiroyuki Ochi
Hiroyuki Ochi
Senior Advisor — Construction, Finance & Cross-Border
  • MBA, University of California, Berkeley

What This Brings To Alticord

Over 25 years of cross-regional expertise in project management and business development spanning Asia and the Middle East — construction grounding paired with institutional finance experience.

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Government-facing infrastructure projects must be structured to satisfy both engineering scrutiny and financial discipline. Hiroyuki's cross-border construction-and-finance background, and his proven record driving M&A, business diversification and technology incubation, helps Alticord evaluate and present projects in a way that global technology partners, contractors and financiers recognise and trust.

  • Former General Manager, Jurong Bird Park

What This Brings To Alticord

Why It Matters To Complex Infrastructure

Modern infrastructure developments in sensitive natural environments must seamlessly balance ecological preservation with high-quality visitor engagement. Raja's extensive background in conservation and destination planning helps Alticord integrate authentic natural landscapes and memorable arrival experiences into its projects, ensuring they are both environmentally responsible and highly appealing to users.
