As Director of Mack Valves, an Australian-based cryogenic and industrial gas valves manufacturer with significant operations in India, Ravin Mirchandani is a busy person indeed.

Today he could be found on a flight to India. Next week that destination might be Australia. Another week, it could be a business trip in the Middle East, a speaking engagement in Singapore, or a fact-finding mission in Scandinavia. It’s an action-packed business schedule, but a subject that he always has time for is hydrogen.

Commencing his career with one of the industrial gas majors, Mirchandani has previously worked in the core industrial gases business in Australia, France and India. He also has significant experience in manufacturing cryogenic storage and distribution products.

With more than 20 years of international development experience – having worked throughout Asia and Europe focusing on establishing new operations, as well as mergers and acquisitions (M&A) – Mirchandani is well versed in gases, chemicals, business and economics. And he is a passionate advocate of hydrogen energy, as he explains here in an interview with H2 View.
