Panini Advisors was founded in late 2016 / early 2017 by Ketan J Shah (KS) to provide bespoke financial / strategic advisory services for Indian businesses. KS is a career Investment Banker with over 25 years of experience across seven cross cultural platforms. He sensed a huge opportunity in smaller and medium scale businesses in India, the longer cycle times, and nimble footedness required therein; that was not feasible in bulge investment banks. KS last held the position of country head of Investment banking at a Japanese House, Daiwa. The Panini team comprises seasoned investment bankers with over 50 years and over 200 transactions of cumulative experience. They are supported by a pool of resources on a transaction-specific basis. Panini Team has consummated a wide range of transactions across private equity funding, venture funding, cross border M&A, strategic and PE exits, family office investments of a range of INR 120Mn to INR 5000Mn, and is currently engaged in advising 20+ opportunities at different stages of evolution.
