Nishita Shah

Nishita Shah is passionate about people. Putting people first is at the heart of everything she does as Group Managing Director of GP Group, a Thai-Indian conglomerate which includes a number of listed companies and has interests in a range of sectors, from healthcare and shipping to software and construction. Nishita is currently focusing on three people-centered areas. Firstly, she is looking at how to make GP Group a more engaging, relevant and enjoyable place to work for long-term team-members and younger generations alike. Secondly, she is using her keen eye for talent to help identify and connect with future-focused people to help drive the business in an increasingly dynamic and disruptive market — as well as ensuring the Group satisfies and retains its current talent. And thirdly, she is developing the Group’s corporate philanthropy initiatives to help support and empower the communities in which it operates.

She has held numerous leadership roles in YPO, and is a member of YPO Thailand, a founding member of the YPO Asean United chapter, and the current chair of the Southeast Asia region.
