High-Level Interaction Highlights Investment, Financial Leadership and Growing India–Mauritius Business Connections
MAURITIUS: Ajaypal Somvanshi, Founder & CEO of ASKA Global Fund, Mauritius, met Hon. Dhaneshwar Damry, Junior Minister of Finance of Mauritius, in an interaction reflecting Somvanshi’s growing engagement with the island nation’s financial and business landscape.
The meeting represents another significant moment in Somvanshi’s international professional journey, which spans more than two decades across banking, trading, fund management, investment strategy and financial education.
Damry has served as Mauritius’ Junior Minister of Finance since November 2024 and is also an elected Member of Parliament. His role places him within the country’s efforts to strengthen economic resilience, investment and international competitiveness.
For Ajaypal Somvanshi, whose latest entrepreneurial chapter is centred on Mauritius through ASKA Global Fund, the interaction carries particular relevance.
A SHARED FOCUS ON FINANCE AND OPPORTUNITY
Mauritius has developed an important position as an international financial centre, connecting investment flows and business opportunities across Africa, Asia and global markets.
Against this backdrop, interactions between policymakers and internationally experienced financial professionals can contribute to a broader exchange of perspectives around investment, entrepreneurship and economic opportunity.
Ajaypal Somvanshi brings to this environment more than two decades of financial-market experience.
Beginning his professional journey in India, he has been associated with organisations including LIC HFL, HDFC Bank and Aditya Birla Group, according to information supplied for his profile.
His expertise subsequently expanded across equities, commodities, indices, forex, derivatives, portfolio management and risk management, with exposure to international markets including COMEX and NYMEX.
FROM INDIA AND THE UAE TO MAURITIUS
The UAE became another defining chapter in Ajaypal Somvanshi’s career.
His experience as a fund manager in Abu Dhabi strengthened his expertise in portfolio strategy, hedging, derivatives and team leadership.
Mauritius now represents the next stage of that progression.
As Founder & CEO of ASKA Global Fund, Somvanshi is seeking to build an internationally oriented investment vision while developing relationships across markets and business communities.
His association with PSS EDU also reflects another dimension of his professional journey: education and mentorship. According to information provided for his profile, Somvanshi has mentored more than 1,500 traders, sharing knowledge in trading strategy, market analysis and risk management.
STRENGTHENING THE MAURITIUS CHAPTER
The meeting with Junior Finance Minister Dhaneshwar Damry adds another notable moment to Ajaypal Somvanshi’s growing Mauritius journey.
For Somvanshi, the country’s attraction extends beyond its financial-services sector. Mauritius occupies a distinctive position between India, Africa and international capital markets, creating possibilities for cross-border relationships and future investment initiatives.
His professional journey now connects India, the UAE and Mauritius — three important chapters that have shaped his evolution from a financial-market professional into an entrepreneur with an increasingly global outlook.
As Somvanshi continues developing ASKA Global Fund, engagements such as his meeting with Damry underline a broader ambition: to build meaningful international relationships while connecting capital, knowledge and opportunity across borders.
In that sense, the Mauritius chapter represents more than geographical expansion.
It represents the next stage in Ajaypal Somvanshi’s journey from financial markets to global leadership.
