Inaugural Address by the Chief Guest Ambassador Binaya Srikanta Pradhan, Consul General of India, New York
With over 20 years of experience, Navin has made it his mission to help Indian companies set up and grow their business in the U.S., and to support American companies looking to expand into India. Through Entry USA and Entry India, he’s been a trusted guide for businesses navigating new markets and unfamiliar rules.
A serial entrepreneur, Navin has launched multiple ventures - including Cubistics, Purchax, and Driku - each with its own story, its own industry, and one common thread: the ability to turn ideas into sustainable business models.
Navin’s mantra is simple but powerful: “People listen if they like you - but they do business when they trust you.”
And trust has been the foundation of everything he’s built.
Over the years, he has supported hundreds of companies - from first-time exporters to government-led trade missions - helping them enter the U.S. market with clarity, speed, and confidence. Notably, he led the U.S. expansion project for the Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council, funded by the Government of India.
Navin’s model isn’t based on theory. It’s rooted in experience, relationships, and real outcomes. His approach has helped companies save significant time, energy, and money - while growing their presence in a market that rewards boldness and precision.
Before stepping into entrepreneurship, Navin held roles at ITT Industries, working on national security projects for the Department of Homeland Security, as well as at Stanford Telecom and Cable & Wireless, where he contributed to information security systems for the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Navin holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from George Mason University, and a Master’s in Engineering Management with a focus on Information Security from George Washington University.
But more than degrees or designations, what defines Navin is his drive to open doors - for others.
Because in his view, business expansion isn’t just about scale—it’s about trust, timing, and being truly ready for what’s next.
