A Mechanical Engineer from IIT Madras, Nihit brings deep expertise in international trade and regulatory compliance, helping manufacturers, exporters, and importers unlock global markets while navigating complex trade landscapes. His practice spans Tariff and Non-Tariff Measures, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) compliance, Free Trade Agreements, Customs regulations, and Foreign Trade Policy — with clients across Automotive, Capital Goods, Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Electrical, Pharmaceuticals, and Steel.

Areas of expertise:

• BIS Standards & Regulatory Compliance

• Import/Export Duties & Trade Regulations
• Product & Market Research
• Benchmarking & Sectoral Studies
• Trade Monitoring, Analysis & Insights
• Foreign Trade Policy & FTAs

Before joining TPM, Nihit spent over two years in the IT industry — an unconventional entry point that shows up today as a genuine edge: a sharp, data-driven lens on product analysis, trade-data analysis, and economic research, turning dense trade statistics into clear strategy for the businesses he advises. Beyond client work, he serves as an advisor to several manufacturing-sector industry associations, contributes regularly to trade publications on policy trends and market opportunities, and co-authored the LexisNexis handbook “A Handbook on Trade Remedial Measures: An Indian Perspective.”

His work spans global markets — East Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas — giving him first-hand exposure to how businesses experience Indian trade regulation from the outside in. It’s this combination of engineering rigor and policy fluency that he brings into every client engagement, helping businesses achieve better market access and cost efficiency in today’s dynamic trade environment.
