Before entering the battery and critical minerals sector, Mayank spent over thirteen years as an investment banker at HSBC, advising major international energy companies on mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt capital markets, project finance, structured finance, and strategic transactions across the oil & gas, refining, petrochemicals, LNG, power, and energy infrastructure sectors. This unique combination of global energy investment banking expertise, battery manufacturing experience, and lithium project development has enabled him to successfully finance and develop complex industrial projects, positioning EnergyX as a leader in lithium technology and an emerging global producer of lithium.
