India is the fourth-largest consumer of oil in the world and is expanding and upgrading its refining industry to keep pace with this demand. The country’s power generation industry is similarly dynamic.

To better serve the needs of India’s evolving energy industry, Solomon Associates is dedicating more resources to bring its global experience and proprietary best-practices database to the region. This includes relocating veteran executive Michael Hileman to Asia and selecting Felicitas Global as the company’s representative for India.

Hileman, who will serve as vice president for Asia, has three decades of experience working in and analyzing the international energy industry, and he applies that knowledge to helping Solomon Associates’ clients improve their performance. Before joining Solomon Associates in 1996, he worked for a diverse range of organizations, including Atlantic Richfield, Charter Oil Company, and Ultramar Inc.

Solomon Associates’ efforts within India are further enhanced through its relationship with Singapore-based Felicitas Global. With significant marketing and business development experience, Felicitas Global brings established contacts within the regional business community as well as extensive knowledge of Indian languages and culture to Solomon Associates. Felicitas Global is led by Radhika Ojha, the firm’s president.
