I may not be sure of Reeba's reputation in the firm but definitely she is the only face of Amarchand Bangalore for PE funds and investors. As far as Arjun is concerned, his practice is very limited to capital markets!! N we all know R Mattan's departure was the cause for many small fries to become partner in capital markets.
what do you think "side equity" means?
[This was complete fabrication, have confirmed this is not true. -Ed]
Really? So now you have started the rumour mill...
Kalpataru has been an Equity Partner with AMSS for over 2 years now.
