Message from Director-General

It is with a deep sense of responsibility and commitment that I take up the role of Director General of the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA). I am honoured by the trust placed in me to lead such a pivotal institution that stands at the heart of national development and fiscal stability.

The MRA has, over the years, built a reputation for integrity, operational excellence, and innovation. Its strong foundation, shaped by the collective commitment and professionalism of its people, has positioned it as a leading revenue administration in the region. I am privileged to now work alongside such a capable and dedicated team.

As I assume this responsibility, I bring with me over three decades of professional experience across banking, finance, accounting, tax advisory, and corporate governance, both in Mauritius and internationally. My journey through public and private sectors, as well as my involvement with various boards and oversight committees, has taught me that leadership is not only about setting direction; it is also about listening, learning, and empowering others.

Our operating landscape is changing rapidly. Digital transformation, global tax developments, and rising stakeholder expectations are reshaping the way we operate. To meet these challenges, we must continue to evolve by being agile, strategic, and people-centred. My vision is to reinforce the MRA’s role as a fair, transparent, and high-performing organisation that balances efficiency with empathy, compliance with support, and innovation with accountability.

Equally important to me are the people behind the mission. I strongly believe that the strength of any institution lies in its people i.e., their ideas, values,and commitment. I am determined to foster a work culture that is inclusive, collaborative, and futurefocused.

Our teams must feel empowered, valued, and equipped to deliver excellence in a constantly shifting environment.

I also believe in the power of dialogue. I look forward to engaging openly and constructively with our stakeholders: taxpayers, business communities, government entities, and international partners. Our success depends on trust, mutual respect, and shared responsibility. Together, we can continue to build a robust and resilient tax ecosystem that supports national priorities while upholding the principles of fairness and service.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Government of Mauritius and the Board of the MRA for their confidence. I am excited about the road ahead and committed to leading with integrity, humility, and a sense of purpose as we continue to serve the Republic of Mauritius.
