Working experience and occupation
Mr Ravindrasingham Balasingham started his career in 1988 with Gilberts Chartered Accountants in St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK before joining Ernst and Young Chartered Accountants in 1992. He then joined Kinta Kellas plc where he led the restructuring of the Group, following which he went into investment banking with RHB Investment Bank Bhd as a manager in the corporate finance department. During his tenure there he played a key role in the listing of Petronas Gas Bhd, which was the largest IPO exercise of 1995 in Southeast Asia. Thereafter, he took the role of vice-president of corporate finance in Melewar Group where he managed a diverse portfolio of businesses. Following that, he returned to investment banking with Bank Labouchere NV (subsidiary of Aegon NV) as the Head of Finance for its London operations, a role he maintained when the bank was taken over by Dexia Banking Group. He then worked with the head of London operations and the research division of the Bank to structure and lead an MBO to form a pan-European stockbroking operation based out of London, where he was Finance Director and Group Controller. 

After his spell in investment banking, he returned to industry in 2005 to turnaround the VAMA Group. 

Subsequently he was appointed as the Group CEO to turnaround Malaysian Merchant Marine Bhd in 2007. 

Following these successful corporate exercises, he led the restructuring and IPO of Eversendai Bhd. In 2012, he was appointed as the interim CEO of Swee Joo Bhd (Liquidated), to assist the appointed liquidator by enhancing cash recovery and implementing an orderly liquidation to ensure the most beneficial exit prices for the assets.

In the recent years, he has been involved in various consultancy capacities to assist corporations in fundraising, restructuring, IPO exercises and strategies to strengthen their balance sheets to enhance the growth potential of the respective businesses, and advising start-ups.
