Bain & Co has appointed Karan Singh as Asia Pacific head of Sustainability and Responsibility (S&R) practice.
He will succeed Brian Murphy, who will continue to lead the firm’s Asia Pacific Energy and Natural Resources practice.
Based in New Delhi, Singh was one of the founding partners who helped establish Bain’s India business in 2006 and has more than 20 years of management consulting experience across Asia, Europe and the United States.
Singh was recently appointed chair of Bain India and had been a managing partner for the firm which has grown over 20% CAGR over the last eight years with a focus on transformation for marquee clients.
Prior to that, he was leader of Bain’s Healthcare practice in Asia Pacific. He also serves on the boards of Bridgespan, Kailash Satyarthi and ALVL foundations.
“S&R is a very important and rapidly evolving topic. I am honored at this opportunity and look forward to working with companies to embed ESG in their strategic priorities, and scaling Bain’s S&R practice in Asia Pacific,” said Singh.
Singh Satish Shankar, Bain’s Asia Pacific regional managing partner added, “I am confident that Karan will continue to bring his trademark boldness to this business-building mission.
With his leadership, we aspire to build on the strong start in S&R and create many more client and people success stories in the ESG space,” said “We also thank Brian, who in a very short time, built a strong team, developed a network of experts, and created multiple referenceable client results stories.”
François Faelli, global managing partner of ESG, said, “Sustainability is one of the most important themes of our time and no doubt Karan will be at the front and center leading our Asia Pacific clients to define bold ambitions and achieve extraordinary results that redefine industries in the energy transition.”
