Ascent Global Holdings is built upon a distinguished legacy in global commodities and sustainable agriculture. Its principal architect, Gaurav Dhawan, previously established Phoenix Commodities as the world’s second-largest rice trader and a diversified global commodity house spanning metals, mining, shipping, trade finance, and agricultural operations across multiple continents. Under his leadership, Phoenix Commodities generated over $3 billion in annual revenue while he also served as Chair of the Global Agribusiness Alliance of the World Bank. This deep expertise in physical assets, supply chains, resource markets, and global macro forms the foundation of the Dhawan Family Office’s investment philosophy and operational approach.
