He is also a Founder of IndoWest Capital, a European-domiciled cross-border platform built in association with Equirus Group, a SEBI-registered Category I Merchant Banker and Portfolio Manager that has advised on more than 325 transactions representing USD 15.5 billion of cumulative deal value. IndoWest gives European professional and institutional investors a coordinated route into Indian capital markets, with a focus on the small and mid-cap segment, through regulated investment vehicles, manager-agnostic fund advisory and mid-market M&A. His work there centres on structuring the international vehicles through which foreign capital can access Indian strategies in an accessible and compliant way.
