A long-term AV enthusiast and professional, looking to expand knowledge about the Audio-Visual Industry to the next generation.  A Balloon Pilot and Inflation Team Leader for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

With over 20 years of experience in the AV and ELV industries, I specialize in AV system design, installation, management, and integration across diverse sectors, including corporate, education, sports, healthcare, hospitality, and government. My career began in 2003 with the AV team at a 5-star hotel in Lebanon, where I developed a passion for AV systems. I hold certifications as a Project Management Professional (PMP) from PMI, as well as CTS-D and CTS-I from AVIXA, blending technical expertise with strong project leadership. I have extensive experience deploying technologies from leading manufacturers such as Crestron, Extron, Biamp, and many others, while managing vendors and ensuring seamless integration. Currently, I am part of BLINQ, a division of IMAR Trading and Contracting in Qatar, where I serve as the ELV Projects Manager, focusing on ELV systems and immersive AV solutions. I am committed to continuous learning, staying ahead of industry trends, and mentoring emerging professionals to elevate the AV field

Sanjeev is the level-headed and composed CEO of the company. He possesses more than 30 years of experience in the realm of Audio Visual, Computers and Technology. He began his rich career with Metal Box, a British Multinational company. Sanjeev stepped into the IT industry when he began working with the HCL group and continued this stint until the year 1995. The entrepreneurial spirit always ‘lived’ inside of Sanjeev, which finally overtook and he forayed into unchartered territory, in the year '1995', when ‘start-up’ was possibly considered a fad. This decision overshadowed his guaranteed admittance to a couple of completely paid Master’s Degree programs from elite Universities in the USA, and instead he pursued an MBA degree in India. Back in 1995, Sanjeev did not have access to external funding, but he built a company from the ground up with his personal resources and steered the company to acquire a position of a front-runner and beacon, in the AV industry. Sanjeev’s vision and focus are astonishingly coherent. He believes and leads by example, that a robust, agile, trained, and knowledgeable workforce is the only sustainable way to consistently meet the expectations of all stakeholders – employees, clients, partners, and shareholders. Such a workforce has the ability, skill, and attitude to consistently deliver best-in-class and state-of-the-art AV solutions. Solutions that exceed client expectations of operational efficiency, business growth, and high ROI. Sanjeev’s unflinching focus on these aspects is the driving force of the company to deliver sustainable great results. Sanjeev is an Electrical Engineering graduate, with a specialization in Computer Science from IIT Delhi and an MBA from IIM Calcutta.

Manager of AVIXA's Certification Program. I joined AVIXA in April 2018, and with Certification since January 2019. I've been working in the continuing education / certification field for the past 14 years.

A marketing professional and 20-year AV industry veteran, I am a proud CTS holder and enthusiastic #AVfoodie who is passionate about innovative technologies, design, and all things AV. I look forward to connecting with you here on Xchange and invite you to join me on LinkedIn as well.  To reach me, please message me on LinkedIn, as I am unable to reply to conversations here. 

Helping lead the charge of AVIXA's research efforts into the trends and opportunities in the pro AV industry. When not digging into data, speaking and writing about the trends, or discussing where to focus our research efforts next, I enjoy spending time outdoors on walks, hikes or fishing adventures. Though I also have a soft spot for consuming AV content in my DIY home theater, thanks to a love for good audio I get honest from my Dad! 

Presently as Regional Director, AVIXA for India and GCC, I do aspire to support the AV and IT industry with  access to the resources that are most beneficial to the businesses and professional outcomes. My focus will be to bring to the AV/IT community in the region, knowledge and skill development through AVIXA Education, Certification and Training Resources. I look forward to work closely with allied associations, industry groups and professional society in the region with a similar focus. And my areas of interest and learning are indeed the Emerging Technologies (what we know as AI, Metaverse, Cloud, Industry 4.0, and the likes) and how they impact what we do in our professional and personal lives as Humans! Do feel free to reach out to me.

Passionate in identifying and delivering the right resource to our members in the Pro-AV market from India & GCC countries to achieve their goals in Education , Certification, Standards and Market Research so they better utilise them for the development of their businesses. https://xchange.avixa.org/users/avixa
