In global commodities, where information asymmetry often determines winners and losers, Dr. Sajjid Mitha has emerged as one of Asia’s most influential architects of petrochemical market intelligence. As Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Polymerupdate, Dr. Mitha has spent more than two decades redefining how the polymer and petrochemical industries access, trust, and act on market data.

When he entered the sector, petrochemical reporting was fragmented, opaque, and largely reactive. Under his leadership, Polymerupdate has evolved into a high-integrity, real-time intelligence platform, transforming market information from descriptive reporting into a strategic decision system.

Today, Polymerupdate serves as a mission-critical utility for the global polymer industry – an ecosystem exceeding USD 600 billion in annual value. Polymerupdate was Asia’s first and is now the largest in the space, and the platform is relied upon across more than 91 countries by leading energy producers, multinational manufacturers, global traders, and financial institutions. Its pricing benchmarks are widely used for physical trade negotiations and contract settlements, positioning Polymerupdate as a trusted reference point in an industry where precision and credibility are paramount.

Dr. Mitha’s leadership is defined by an unwavering commitment to methodological rigor, neutrality, and scalability. His ability to synthesize geopolitical developments, energy price volatility, and supply-chain disruptions into actionable intelligence has given clients a sustained competitive advantage – particularly in volatile and fast-moving markets.

Beyond data, Dr. Mitha has demonstrated foresight in anticipating structural shifts reshaping the industry. Through the launch of RACE – Recycling And the Circular Economy Conferences & Expos, he has become a prominent voice in the global transition toward sustainability and ESG-aligned polymer value chains. The platform brings together recyclers, compounders, policymakers, technology providers, and brand owners, bridging traditional petrochemical operations with the emerging circular economy. Recognized among the Forbes India Select 200 Entrepreneurs, Dr. Mitha’s influence extends beyond commercial success. He is widely respected for his contribution to market transparency, pricing discipline, and policy-level discourse that underpins modern petrochemical trade.

Through Polymerupdate Academy, he continues to invest in the future of the industry by developing the next generation of market professionals, ensuring continuity of the analytical discipline he has institutionalized.

Dr. Sajjid Mitha does not merely operate within the global polymer market. He has built the digital intelligence infrastructure that enables it to function with clarity, confidence, and foresight.
