Singh was technically Neotel's first employee and led initial discussions with the SA government on behalf of his employer, VSNL. With an MBA and an engineering degree from the Indian Institute of Technologies, Singh has previously worked in real estate and the motor vehicle industry.
He first came to SA on behalf of VSNL in October 2004 and relocated to the country permanently last July. He has a wealth of relationships in the telecom industry and in government.
He says he finds the SA corporate environment refreshing. "South Africans are so sports-orientated. Some of those positives filter into the corporate environment. It took me some time to understand it but from then on every negotiation was a delight."
