M&A advisory / Rivr
“Our investor recommended Nandi as we were considering our strategic options at Rivr. He helped us engage with potential acquirers and received bids from several established players, with Index Exchange ultimately becoming our chosen acquirer. He supported us throughout the deal process, especially on challenging situations.”
Growth & M&A / Amobee
“Nandi came in at a pivotal time and was instrumental in transforming our platform solutions business to one of growth. Some of the land-mark deals he negotiated led to our exit to Singtel and our growth to $100m post-acquisition.
If you want to position for M&A, take a product to market at scale, whether direct or via strategic channels, Nandi is one of the few who can execute on this globally. On top, he’s a true team player and coach and joy to work with.”
