Global alternative investment firm Investcorp has appointed Vivek Agarwal as Senior Operating Partner for its India operations. Agarwal will lead the firm’s strategic expansion into opportunities in the software and software services sectors.
Late last year, Investcorp acquired NuSummit (formerly NSEIT), a provider of digital transformation and cybersecurity services, marking a significant step in its commitment to expanding its footprint in the technology sector. NuSummit is known for its comprehensive services that cater to global customers in capital markets, insurance, and banking sectors.
In his new role, Agarwal will also join the board of directors of NuSummit, using his extensive experience in the technology sector to drive strategic growth and innovation.
Agarwal brings over 25 years of extensive leadership experience across various functions. He most recently served as President at Tech Mahindra, leading the “Strategy and M&A” function, and global businesses in the Healthcare and Financial Services sectors.
His career has spanned roles in managing large-scale business transformations and value creation, with a deep focus on technology-driven growth. According to a press statement, “at Investcorp, his diverse experience in these industries, along with his background in private equity and M&A, will allow him to identify growth opportunities and enhance Investcorp’s portfolio in these critical areas”.
