ABOUT Nayan Parikh
President, ASHNU INTERNATIONAL INC.
Nayan Parikh is the owner of Ashnu International Inc., an award winning, premier M/WBE Construction and Management provider to a host of Federal, State and City Agencies, Corporations and other industries. For more than 15 years, he has continued to establish his name within the corridors of government agencies and has continued to build his reputation to his expertise in bringing excellent performance to the projects undertaken by his company. He has been the champion in leading many professional and community organizations and continues to give back to the society in many different ways. He has brought new ideas to fruition, both for profit and non-profit organizations.
After graduation from college, Parikh began his career as a Civil Engineer in India before migrating to the USA. In his new homeland, he began his career as an estimator in a small construction company, before quickly finding his own strength to become the founder and Managing Director of Ashnu International Inc. Parikh’s vision, entrepreneurial aptitude, civil engineering background and broad range of expertise have made Ashnu International a name to be envied within the construction industry. His company is credited with many well-known projects including Sandy Repair work at Coney Island and Rockaway Beach, multiple school renovations for NYC School Construction Authority, and Signal Modification at 71st Continental Ave with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Serving the community comes naturally to Parikh. From his first days of being a new immigrant to this country to the present, he has been involved and has given his time, knowledge and wisdom to community and professional non-profit organizations. Although he is a part of many organizations and affiliations, he takes pride in each and every one and maintains an active leadership role in these organizations. Currently, he’s the president of the NAMC NY Tri-State Chapter. During his term he would like to bring more project procurements to his local chapter members. From humble beginnings and as a minority himself, he understands the struggle to make the right connections or get that big break. Parikh isn’t afraid to reach out to make the necessary connection, which is one of his many strengths. Because of this, his network of associations varies in different influencers, who hold his opinion in high regards and has created a foray into creating an outreach program for his chapter members
