He oversaw analytic and policy work for the standing committees (Audit, Budget, Development Effectiveness and Personnel) of the 24-member Board of Executive Directors which is resident full-time in Washington D.C. He advised senior management and the Board on strategy and policy as well as fiduciary and compliance issues.

From September 2000 through March 2003 Dr. Khanna was the Chief Economist for the Royal Dutch/Shell Group based in their Corporate Centre in London, United Kingdom. In addition to advising the Managing Directors and senior management on global economic trends and the business environment and supporting the corporate strategy and planning functions, he was a core member of the Shell Scenarios Team that developed Global Scenarios to 2020.

When the World Bank set up its office in China, Anupam lived in Beijing (1986- 89) with lead responsibility for industrial development, electric power and state enterprise reform.

Upon returning to headquarters in 1989, he was selected to be the Special Assistant to the President of the World Bank and supported two chief executives, Barber Conable through the end of his tenure and Lewis Preston during his first four months in office.

In 1992 Mr. Khanna rejoined the East Asia region as division chief and until mid-1997 managed infrastructure operations (road transport, ports, railways, water supply, urban development, village infrastructure) in Indonesia, Papa New Guinea and the Pacific Islands.
