Mr Mark Marshall

President, Development, not only loves Kolkata but is excited to be part of the Senior Team at Mani Group

“I have always admired Mr Jhunjhunwala’s work. I am thrilled to be part of his team. In many ways my coming to Kolkata was a leap of faith. I am keen to bring in the latest international construction methods.”

In many ways, Mr Mark Marshall, President, Development, is quite a revolutionary! His innate charm belies a determined mind that can take difficult decisions. Not many successful professionals would reallocate to Kolkata from Toronto. But Mark was excited the minute the challenge was thrown at him. As he reveals, “I was part of an architecture firm in Toronto when I first met Mr Sanjay Jhunjhunwala. He was designing the mall at that time and looking for a professional to set up the interiors. We discussed the job and I was more than happy to come to Kolkata as a consultant. Though I have worked with developers around the  world based in Asia, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in 2011, I and my family settled here as I was already working on several assignments with the Mani Group. I am closely involved with the design and architecture of Tirumani and Shiromani, as also the Pink Square in Jaipur. I can happily say that in many ways I have grown with the Company.”

Mark came to Kolkata with no expectations and what life would be like away from Canada. But he and his family have not just coped but also flourished here! He points out that his children have settled in well and like their school.And his wife has met many interesting people in the city and made friends.

“I have always admired Mr Jhunjhunwala’s work,” reiterates Mark. “I am thrilled to be part of his team. In many ways my coming to Kolkata was a leap of faith. I meet with the various consultants and architects that we deal with on behalf of the Group and liaise between them. I am keen to bring in the latest international construction methods. Mani Group has established its name and when you have someone as exacting as Sanjay who looks into every detail, it is time to always stay on your toes!”
