Primus Partners appoints Mohan Doifode as Managing Director for Middle East

Primus Partners, an Indian-origin management consulting firm, has appointed Mohan Doifode as Managing Director of its Middle East business.

Founded in 2019 in New Delhi, Primus Partners is one of India’s leading management consulting firms. The firm operates across three business lines – advisory, technology solutions, and research and intelligence.

In the Middle East, Primus Partners has teams based in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, serving a broad range of public and private sector clients with a focus on government, infrastructure, energy, education and defence.

As Managing Director, Doifode will lead the firm’s growth strategy across the GCC while strengthening client relationships and expanding its regional capabilities. He is based in Riyadh.

Doifode joins Primus Partners after two years leading Meraki, a group that designs and delivers technology solutions for enterprises across the GCC. Prior to that, he spent six years at Deloitte in India, where he rose to the positions of Director and Special Advisor. Earlier in his career, he served for more than two decades in the Indian Army.

Commenting on the appointment, Primus Partners said: “In recent years, we have steadily expanded our international footprint, and the Middle East remains one of our fastest-growing markets. Countries including the UAE and Saudi Arabia are driving large-scale transformation programmes across sectors. Building local expertise and leadership is a key competitive advantage for success in the Gulf region, and we are therefore delighted to welcome Mohan to this role.”

Beyond India and the Middle East, Primus Partners also has an office in the United States.
