Nirav Desai

Nirav Desai is Managing Partner at GGN Research and Executive Director at Madhuri Refiners — combining a dedicated research-and-advisory practice with active operating-side experience in Indian edible-oil refining.

Over more than two decades he has worked across the Indian oils-and-oilseeds complex as an analyst, trader and operating executive. He is one of the most-quoted Indian-market commentators on the daily vegetable-oils circuit and a regular voice on CNBC Awaz, where he frames the day's price action against the Indian demand picture, the global supply backdrop and the policy calendar.

GGN Research provides forward-curve analytics, monthly outlook reports and bespoke advisory work to refiners, traders, banks and corporate hedgers. The practice has become a reference point on the duty-and-import-policy transmission effects in Indian markets.

On the GLOBOIL stage, Nirav is a fixture in the analyst panels — bringing the Indian-trader operating view alongside the international forecasters' macro picture.
