I think this needs more attention, more digging!

Ashok and Amrita Mahbubani are included in some of the worst, seediest "pizza" and "cooking" Podesta emails. I think more scrutiny is warranted in this area than has been given to it. I apologize for throwing so many links here, but the rabbithole goes into some insane seeming places.
Mahbubanis in a pizza/cooking Podesta email: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/59243
"Tony, should the plan be Indian cuisine? If yes, I will send you a list of dishes we can decide on, some of which we can make in the pizza oven.. The shopping list will follow. Trust you received the Army Cook book I sent to you, by now. Warm regards Amrita"
Ashok Mahbubani is the President and CEO of Multitronics VMI, LLC from AL, while the Mahbubani-founded EKTA foundation appears to mostly operate in Haiti. http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=79748669&privcapId=47245715 http://www.ektafoundationusa.org/main/
It struck me that Multitronics is located directly between Redstone Arsenal in Al (which has an airfield) and Hunstville International Airport. The location in Alabama is a comfortable flight distance from Haiti. I found this to be a glaring red flag re: trafficking, in light of what we know about obscure rural airports and smuggling when related to the Clintons. Especially if the Mahbubanis are also running a charity in Haiti.
Location 325-F Electronics Blvd. Huntsville, AL, 35824-2221

The EKTA Foundation page describes the Mahbubanis as: "Clinton Foundation Ambassadors:" " .. .the Mahbubanis chose the Clinton Global Initiative as their portal into the world of strategically targeted philanthropy. Initial commitments implemented through CGI have flowered into a broader relationship for Amrita & Ashok as Ambassadors for the Clinton Foundation.""
Interestingly, a search of the Clinton Foundation website for Ashok Mahbubani returns no results. The EKTA foundation does register.
The EKTA page describes how "the Mahbubanis developed a bond with Haiti, through a family owned manufacturing business that employed 300 people there in the '80s"
I'd be very interested to know what exactly that business was called. Or any other information about it.

Ashok Mahbubani //
BIO. I believe this is less than a year old
Ashok Mahbubani, B.Com., LLB is the Chairman and Managing Director of EKTA World.
He graduated from Loyola College and began his professional career in 1973 in Madras, India with a privately owned Electronics Marketing & Manufacturing company.
He completed a Diploma in International Trade at the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade in 1974 and rose to the position of Director of the company’s International Trade Division.
Since then, Ashok has participated in the establishment and growth of family-owned businesses in India, Canada, Haiti, the US, Spain, and Mexico.
In partnership with the privately owned company he worked for, he negotiated collaboration with a Japanese manufacturer to set up one of India’s first licensed manufacturing facilities for copiers, Xerographics Private Limited. Eventually, he sold XPL to one of India’s largest conglomerates, the RPG Group. In 1983, Ashok moved to Canada and joined his brother-in-law in the management of a family-owned manufacturing company, Span Manufacturing Limited, where he broadened Span’s customer base and managed its finances through its growth phase.
Then, in 1987, the Mahbubanis moved the US and set up a new family-owned company, Multitronics, Inc.
In 1989, the company overcame competition from four other contenders in North America and secured a major contract manufacturing project at Chrysler. Multitronics became a significant supplier to Chrysler starting in Model Year 1990.
Since then, the company has maintained its track-record of innovative process design for manufacturability (sic) combined with defect-free contract execution.
Two decades after building a successful business foundation, Ashok & Amrita Mahbubani started The EKTA Foundation in 2007 with the simple purpose of giving back.
To ensure that EKTA’s grants would make measurable impact, the Mahbubanis chose the Clinton Global Initiative as their portal into the world of strategically targeted philanthropy. Through their involvement with the manufacturing facility in Haiti, from 1984-88, the Mahbubanis came to admire and love the irrepressible spirit of the Haitian people. In 2009, they were back as part of CGI’s Haiti Action Network, to work with like-minded partner organizations in Haiti on sustainable investments in Water & Sanitation, Information Technology and Education.
The unifying objective of the Foundation’s commitments to action in these areas is enhancing human dignity and strength through access to knowledge. Here in the US, the Mahbubanis partnered with the Streisand Foundation as benefactor contributors to the Women’s Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai in California. They are recognized as Ambassadors of the Clinton Foundation in promoting and supporting its many world-wide initiatives.
Lastly, the Mahbubanis are actively engaged in a program created by Open Future Institute that promotes principled self-empowerment for students in the final two critical years of High School. The QUESTion Project™ was successfully piloted at a magnet public school in the Bronx and is now a full-term elective at several New York Department of Education schools.
That was from a Bio shown on the WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL - Board Members site
Wold Affairs Council has a Young Professionals group and hosts activities that center around drinking. ____ http://archive.is/HBxDc3
He is also on the board at OPEN FUTURE INSTITUTE as mentioned in the article.
OPEN FUTURE is a strange organization with a completely BS "mission statement".
http://openfutureinstitute.org/board-of-directors/advisory-board/
mission: We inspire students with a sense of infinite possibilities, and empower them to shape their life and future with meaning and purpose
(what does that even mean??)
