Director, BWE GIC
Tanu Bheda
Building the Bridge.
The India–GCC corridor is a $250B trade relationship running on informal networks. I'm building the institutional layer it's been missing.
Let's Talk →The Position
The center no one else holds.
Bankers understand capital, not builders. Consultants understand neither deeply. Investors understand capital, not operations. Founders understand building, not Gulf capital flows. Tanu understands all four. Operates across all four.
About
Fifteen years across real estate, community management, and retail in the Gulf taught me the one thing most deal-makers miss.
"Systems scale. Trust is what makes them run."
As Director of BWE GIC, I work at the intersection of Gulf capital and India's most systematized zero-burn venture studio. My role: make those two things work together at an institutional level — with governance credibility, operational presence in Muscat, and products that solve real GCC problems.
