Then and now

Over the past two decades, Dexis has experienced tremendous growth, transforming from a company of “one” stakeholder—Founder Mihir Desai working on a laptop in Starbucks—to a team of hundreds achieving global reach and recognition.

Today Dexis is actively working in the U.S. and across 80 countries, providing experts and managing large programs in international development, global diplomacy, and national security for our clients.

Dexans are champions of progress. We embrace agility to achieve critical social outcomes in a rapidly changing world.
