The firm said it is investing in a business to back up its convictions across significant wealth corridors, such as those linking the UAE and India.

Singapore-headquartered Farro Capital announced yesterday that it has has appointed Surandren Nair and Akshay Ohri as managing directors, and Neha Kothari as director.

The firm said the appointments fit with its scale-up of operations in Asia and the Middle East. Farro said it has also surpassed $3 billion in client assets under management.

Nair joins with more than 30 years' experience in financial services, including more than two decades in private banking. He has served in senior roles at HSBC, JP Morgan, Bank of Singapore, and Standard Chartered. At Farro Capital, he will focus on Southeast Asia, with additional coverage of the Middle East, including Dubai.

Ohri will be involved in strengthening Farro’s presence across the India–UAE corridor, while expanding relationships with ultra-high networth individuals and family offices globally. He brings over 22 years of experience across banking, private banking, and wealth management, including more than 15 years advising UHNW clients across India and international markets. 

Previously, Ohri was MD and team head at Three Comma Capital Advisors in Dubai, where he led the India–UAE corridor business. He previously served as managing partner at InCred Group’s wealth segment in Mumbai. His earlier career includes leadership roles at Julius Baer, Standard Chartered Private Bank, and Citibank.

Kothari will help strengthen the firm's India–UAE corridor and global UHNWIs and family office client relationships. With more than 18 years of international private banking experience across Dubai and India, spanning advisory, investment products, and multi-asset class solutions, Kothari joins from Three Comma Capital Advisors in Dubai, where she managed UHNWI clients and offshore family offices. Prior to that, she was with InCred Wealth India. Her earlier experience includes stints at Credit Suisse, Edelweiss Capital, and MSCI.

"At a time when global markets are navigating increased uncertainty, our continued investment in top talent reflects both the resilience of our platform and our conviction in the long-term opportunities across key wealth corridors, particularly the India–UAE region. Surandren, Akshay, and Neha each bring deep domain expertise, strong client relationships, and a proven ability to build and grow businesses," Hemant Tucker, co-founder and CEO of Farro Capital, said.

Rajiv Garg SEO of Farro Capital Dubai, added: “Dubai continues to consolidate its position as a preferred destination for global capital, even as the region navigates a period of heightened complexity and external pressures. In moments like these, capital gravitates towards jurisdictions that demonstrate institutional resilience, policy clarity, and the ability to maintain continuity under stress. Dubai has done exactly that. We are seeing a clear divergence, with sustained inflows of capital and talent into the emirate, alongside a growing preference for platforms that combine local depth with global reach."
