Mining engineer, entrepreneur and company builder with more than three decades of experience across mining operations, corporate turnarounds, project development, international transactions and public capital markets.
Arvind Misra is an Australian mining engineer, entrepreneur and company builder with more than three decades of experience across mining operations, corporate turnarounds, project development, international transactions and public capital markets.
He established Aranak in 2004 as the platform through which he would pursue mining investments, operational assignments, corporate restructurings and company-building opportunities.
His career has progressed from mining engineer and mine operator to turnaround executive, public-company managing director, founder and resources investor.
His experience spans Australia, India, Africa and South America and includes operational and corporate exposure across multiple commodities and mining cycles.
An early defining Aranak assignment involved the successful restructuring of the Norseman gold business in Western Australia, followed by its progression to London’s AIM market.
Through Aranak, Arvind subsequently led India Resources Limited for approximately a decade, including its operation and development of the Surda underground copper mine in India.
He later founded Belararox Limited, leading the company through its 2022 ASX listing and subsequent international expansion into Argentina and Botswana.
Today, Arvind continues through Aranak to originate, invest in and build businesses across mining, exploration and mining services.
His experience includes both successful corporate transformations and difficult operating outcomes. That breadth of experience informs Aranak’s approach to assets, people, jurisdictional risk, governance, capital allocation and shareholder alignment.
“More than three decades in mining has taught me that assets are only the beginning. Successful resources companies require good people, disciplined capital, strong governance and consistent execution. Experience is knowing what worked, what didn’t and why, and applying those lessons to the next opportunity.”
