New Era Begins at FICF as Shri Gokulam Gopalan and Shri V P Nandakumar Take Over Top Roles

A major leadership shift has been announced by the Federal International Chamber Forum (FICF), with Shri Gokulam Gopalan stepping in as the new Chairman and Shri V P Nandakumar as the Patron. The development marks a transformative moment for the prestigious forum as it prepares for its next chapter of excellence.

FICF stands as one of the most exclusive business collectives in the world, comprising only MBA Award winners. These are high-achieving industry leaders recognized not just for their financial strength but also for their contributions to business innovation and societal development. The forum was envisioned and established by Dr. Ajit Ravi, who aimed to bring India’s top business icons under a unified platform.

The MBA Award, the gateway to FICF membership, is presented annually to a visionary leader with assets exceeding ₹1,000 crore. The recognition honours not just business success but also exceptional leadership, philanthropic initiatives, and a commitment to national progress.

FICF will host a special felicitation ceremony on January 6th, 2026, at Le Meridien, Kochi, where members and dignitaries will welcome the newly announced leaders. The event is expected to highlight their contributions and the forum’s upcoming initiatives.

With Gokulam Gopalan and V P Nandakumar at the helm, FICF is set to expand its influence and inspire a powerful community of elite business leaders.
