All about Jai

Jai has over 30 years’ business experience in helping small and mid-sized UK companies grow, advising them globally, not just while working for an international bank for a decade but, over the last 20 years, also in small advisory companies (including his own), to service clients strategically. Jai operated with limited budgets and resource constraints.

He financed his education at the University of Pennsylvania with debt and scholarship, which he paid back over 10 years. As a married man, having raised two children, who are now in British universities, he understands the pains and challenges of parents in East Thanet trying to create a future for themselves and their children under tremendous budgetary constraints, disorganised local planning, and a cost-of-living crisis thrust upon them because of poorly managed foreign and energy policies.

He witnessed the impact of Covid policy first hand, having to care for his mother, who was abroad, while not being able to travel to see her.

Jai still plays representative county cricket in the over 50 cricket county championships and also club league cricket when he can. He was amongst the top scorers in 2022. He is a proud member of the Lords Taverners supporting sport and mental health for disabled and disadvantaged children

It is this lived experience of Jai, his previous jobs, and business-friendly agenda, that he would bring to East Thanet as its MP.
