I have over 20 years of experience in Investment Banking, Corporate Strategy, and Venture Capital Investing, specializing in TMT and Digital & Technology. Currently, I am the Managing Partner of IEG Investment Banking Group across Southeast Asia, Deltavest Funds, and also a Venture Partner at Aroa Ventures. Before joining IEG, I worked at European Investment Banks like Rabobank and BNP Paribas, focusing on Mergers and Acquisitions. I have advised some of the largest unicorns in Asia on cross-border M&A deals. In my free time, I enjoy fitness training and playing squash.

Why M&A: Cultural Diversity
I thrive on exposure to a wide range of sectors, teams, and diverse cultures. M&A provides a unique combination of technical skills and soft skills needed to manage complex processes. Each transaction is a fresh challenge and a valuable learning experience, making the work both rewarding and intellectually stimulating.

Transacting with the click of a button
‍I am particularly passionate about Fintech, especially payments and digital infrastructure. The seamless technology that facilitates electronic transactions—like mobile payments, online payment gateways, and peer-to-peer payment apps—makes transacting easier with just a click.

From Squash Courts to Global Boardrooms: A Journey of Discipline, Passion, and Exploration.
Growing up, I attended a boarding school at a young age, which taught me the discipline to think independently and juggle multiple tasks. I played squash at an international level, representing India at the World Junior Squash Championships in Milan. Competing in sports from a young age fueled my interest in a fast-paced career that involves significant travel. I love traveling the globe for transactions, exploring various international cuisines, and interacting with people from diverse cultures. Outside of work, I’m passionate about fitness training and enjoy spending time with my family.
