strategic assignments which were crucial in transforming GMR Group into a
leading infrastructure power-house of the country. These include driving the
strategic tie-ups with PSEG Global Inc. for TanirBavi Power Project, life
insurance joint venture with ING and Vysya Bank (that the company has exited),
joint venture with Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad for GMR Hyderabad
International Airport (GHIAL) project and with United Engineers of Malaysia for

and subsequently the developer of the Greenfield GMR Hyderabad International
Airport.
