NEW YORK (TIP): New York is constantly evolving, and the construction industry stands at the forefront of evolution. New York City’s airports are undergoing a transformation, taking them from being a dreaded pit stop to becoming among the best in the country. The city’s transit system is getting a new bus terminal, new subway cars, subway infrastructure improvements and a subway expansion up Second Avenue – much of it to be funded by a pioneering congestion pricing system. The real estate sector continues to plan new developments, remaking the city’s iconic skyline. New York’s clean energy transformation is working to address climate change and right environmental wrongs. All of this is creating hundreds of thousands of new construction jobs. Among this year’s Construction Power 100 – the leaders who are making the plans, wielding the jackhammers, driving the change and keeping the construction industry buzzing across New York, is an Indian American Nayan Parikh.

The owner of general contracting and construction management company, Ashnu International, Nayan Parikh’s civil construction firm caters to various federal and state agencies and private clients. Parikh, who was a civil engineer in India until he immigrated to the United States and later founded Ashnu International in 1998, is executive vice president of the National Association of Minority Contractors. He was also a member of New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ Capital Process Reform Task Force.
