He knows that success starts in the mind and that it needs to be translated into a reality by perseverance. He believes that a few things in this world can conquer a vigorous and healthy mind and that's precisely what A. K. Srivastava, the CMD of PEC Ltd can really boast of. The PEC Ltd was incorporated in April 1971 under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, with primary business thrust on exports, imports, deemed exports, third country trading, arranging financing, logistics, project exports and management.

Srivastava has played a crucial role in converting PEC into a leading international business organizer and a provider of integrated trade facilitating services. His vigorous policy has been a positive force for the PSU in its trading between India and the nations of the world. Chalking out a pragmatic strategy for the international trade and pursue it without failing, are his trade secrets in the PEC. The PEC as a trading company is both an initiator and intermediary developer cum facilitator of global trade.

Its comprehensive global commercial service is balanced by its readiness to listen to the individual client and tailor its services to his needs. Each of the employees is familiar with the local market he or she covers, and has a deep appreciation for differences in regional flavour, national character and prevailing situations. Srivastava has infused a rock-solid discipline among his employees which he feels is the secret of a successful trader.

Srivastava has been steering the ship of the PEC for quite some time now, and has brought buyers and sellers from India and abroad together on the common ground of mutually profitable trade. His acquired expertise and up-to-date information are unerring guides to rich market opportunities. His skills in negotiation have been tested and refined over years in various marketplaces around the world. He has a truly global outlook. And the very dynamics of international trade needs global outlook, openness to the possibilities of the unexpected and a fresh approach.
