Shravan Joshi
Councillor, lead on Planning and Transportation
Shravan’s background is in the upstream energy sector, working in trade finance and business development to deploy technology and engineering solutions worldwide. He has moved across to an Advisory and Non-Exec role with a portfolio of companies spanning financial services,
tech and energy.
Shravan has also worked on various educational charity and community endeavours both in the UK and abroad, with Her Late Majesty honouring him with an MBE for services to Equality and the British Hindu community.
Shravan was elected to the City Corporation in February 2018 and served as Deputy Chair of the Property Investment Board, Deputy Chair of Licensing, Deputy Chair of Streets & Walkways and in May 2022 was elected as Chair of Planning & Transportation, overseeing the built environment in the Square Mile, working alongside the likes of TfL, GLA, neighbouring Local Authorities and real estate investors and developers from around the world.
The City’s Utility Infrastructure Strategy was his pet project. Adopted unanimously in June 2024, it sets out a 25-year strategy for utilities provision in the City, the first of its kind to set out a predictable way forward for future generations looking to invest, build and base themselves in the Square Mile.
Speaking about the Ward, Shravan says, “With the busiest Rail station in the UK, the most vibrant nightlife in the City and the largest pedestrianised area in the Square Mile, Bishopsgate has all the elements within it for a successful urban environment and I would be proud to continue to serve as a Ward Councillor.”
