Founder and CEO: Nitesh Ranvah

Nitesh began 21 Knots Design and Consulting in 2013 with a modest beginning to make a difference in the world of marine design and solutioning. Leveraging his 13 years of industry experience in the areas of survey & design, dry-docking,  ship building and offshore consulting, he has established himself as an expert Naval Architect. Developing sustainable solutions for the shipping industry with respect to climate change was and continues to be his passion.
