Dr. Jayanta Choudhuri is the founder of QTEK Gulf FZE, a consultancy focusing on technology in the field of construction and building chemicals. The company provides consultation in product development, quality management, environmental issues, manufacturing processes, technical matters, and market research for investors. QTEK Gulf FZE is based in the United Arab Emirates.

Dr. Choudhuri received his PhD in Chemistry from Calcutta University (India) in 1990, specializing in "Photochemistry of Anthraquinone and Phenanthraquinone in Different Solvents."

He began his career as a chemist at a Swiss (Sika) joint venture construction chemical company in India, where he worked for 10 years. He then moved to the Middle East, where he worked as R&D and Technical Manager for Sika and MBT-SKW (now BASF) for 17 years in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. Later, he worked in Denmark as the Head of R&D at Sika Denmark.

In 2012, Dr. Choudhuri started his own consultancy, offering services to leading companies worldwide, including Sika India, Tata Chemicals, Boston Consulting, GLG, Cognolink-Third Bridge, Ahlia Chemicals, Honeywell, and Laticrete International.

His expertise includes developing new formulations tailored to local conditions and price requirements, designing custom polymers for use in products, cost optimization, advising on manufacturing processes and equipment, and providing guidance on regulatory requirements (e.g., REACH and carbon footprint).

In recent years, he has worked on 3D Printable Mortar and associated applications, developing several formulations for various projects in the Middle East.

With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Choudhuri has contributed to the development of many new products for medium to large-scale projects across various countries and has advised clients on a range of technical issues.
