CATALYSING INVESTMENT:
FROM DISCUSSION TO DEALS
With a strategy horizon to 2030, Beharry Group is focused on strengthening its regional footprint, improving operational efficiency across its portfolio of companies, and embedding digital transformation as a core pillar of growth. • Automotive and mobility – vehicle distribution, parts and accessories • Energy services – including a joint venture in the oil and gas sector • Technology – most recently, the new collaboration with Amber Group Amber Group – Jamaican-headquartered, globally scaled technology firm Amber Group was founded in 2015 in Jamaica and has rapidly expanded to operate in over 100 countries, with 16 business lines and more than 2,500 employees worldwide. The company develops large-scale technology solutions and AI-driven platforms for governments, financial institutions and major enterprises, and maintains substantial development hubs in Jamaica, India, South Africa and the UAE. Founder and CEO Dushyant Savadia explains that Amber grew quickly by looking outward from Jamaica and “always working through partners, not going into any country alone” - a model that made collaboration with Beharry Group in Guyana a natural fit. The Caribbean Investment Forum as a Strategic Platform Harilall has participated in every edition of the Caribbean Investment Forum since its inception. Reflecting on this engagement, he explains that CIF has become an important fixture in the Group’s calendar because it brings together the stakeholders that matter for long-term growth such as development finance institutions, commercial banks, investors, corporates and governments all in one place. For Beharry Group, CIF is used to: • Network and explore partnerships that can accelerate its growth agenda; • Engage financiers and development partners on opportunities in Guyana and the wider Caribbean; and • Position the Group’s evolving strategy, including its focus on digital transformation, with regional and international audiences. Against this backdrop, participation in CIF 2025 in Montego Bay, Jamaica presented a timely opportunity to identify partners capable of supporting Beharry’s technology ambitions. For Amber Group, CIF 2025 offered a chance to re-engage more deeply with the Caribbean after years of rapid expansion abroad. Savadia notes that CIF “certainly became a platform which connected two big companies far apart from each other geographically,” creating the space for Amber’s capabilities and Beharry’s ambitions to align. • Financial services – commercial and merchant banking, insurance • Manufacturing – food products, fats and oils, detergents and consumer goods • Quick-service restaurants (QSR) – leading international franchises such as KFC and Pizza Hut
