Professional Background
Regi Tom Antony is a finance and business advisor with over 30 years of experience in Indian and international business advisory. He holds an MBA from Australia, is an Associate Member of CIMA (UK), a Chartered Global Management Accountant certified by AICPA (USA), and a Certified Information Systems Auditor (ISACA, USA) — a rare multi-jurisdiction credential set.
Regi brings deep Big 4 / multinational experience, including senior roles at Crowe Horwath Consultants (an international chain of consulting firms) and board-level involvement in establishing and managing subsidiaries of global corporations including Siemens and Westcon/Comstor Group across Asia and the Middle East. He brings first-hand experience of the regulatory, operational and governance challenges that arise when Indian and foreign businesses expand across borders.
His international experience spans cross-border transactions, DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance) treaty planning, FEMA / RBI structuring and a long-standing NRI client base across the Gulf, the US, the UK, Singapore and Australia.

Regi also runs Regi Tom Antony & Associates, a CA firm established in 1997, and authors at NRI Blueprint — the dedicated NRI tax and FEMA platform. Strategic advisory and Virtual CFO mandates are delivered through Infodit Consulting.
