We are indebted to take his vision forward and that is why we want to make 25 global brands to celebrate his life,” said Mahesh Nair, Director, NetObjex Inc., the parent company of Servntire Global. “We have also reached out to senior level Indian executives in International Brands like FedEx, Cock, IBM and Nabisco to be in the advisory board,” said Mahesh.
