Telecom, Media &
Enterprise Technology

We lead the TMT Space having led post-liberalization poster boys like Infosys and Zee Entertainment public in the early 90s as well as the new age champions like Latent View Analytics, Affle, TBO Tek, Rate Gain, Nazara and Blackbuck. We have also raised multiple rounds of financing for telecom and data center players including Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Reliance Jio as they transition from voice-led to data-led models. Our three-decade long relationship with corporates in this space makes us a powerful interface between incumbents and emerging leaders.
