Andrew brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in finance and management to the school. ITI welcomes Andrew’s leadership going forward, and extends its deepest gratitude to the outgoing Chairman and long-time patron of the school, Arun Mahizhnan. Arun will remain a member of the ITI board.

ITI Co-Founder and Director T. Sasitharan says,

”On behalf of all at ITI I want to thank Arun for being an exemplary Chairman. He was on the TTRP/ITI Board since 2000 and took over as Chairman in 2015. With his extensive experience in private sector and government, expertise spanning media, PR and academia and his rare cultural sensibilities, he was the steady hand who guided us through many storms.”
