2023 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Mandeep Banwait, AKF Group

Number of years at firm: 5

One thing on my bucket list: Travel and explore different countries around the world. I plan to travel to Japan this year with my wife. We enjoy learning more about life from different cultures.

When I am not working, I am: I enjoy reading a variety of books. Some of my favorite book genres are fictional history, novels, history, social philosophy and non-fiction on health and wellness.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? BIDMC East Campus Power Separation project. AKF has been working for several years on this multi-staged project to upgrade the entire electrical infrastructure of an existing active in-patient healthcare building. The project highlights the difficulty and the time required to upgrade older existing active in-patient healthcare buildings to the latest building codes and standards.
