In his new role, Farzin will lead regional strategy on SME credit, partnership development, and client acquisition. Fluent in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, and formally trained in commerce and financial planning, he brings both operational depth and cultural fluency to a region where Balfour Capital is seeing strong momentum.

His appointment is a key milestone in Balfour’s growth narrative and underscores the firm’s commitment to building a best-in-class, globally connected leadership team.
