Pranav’s Private Equity Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
10+ people coached for Private Equity
Pranav has helped clients get into these companies:
Four years of private equity experience across all sectors and deal sizes. Varied transaction experience ranging from primary investments to mature leveraged buyouts. I've hustled for every job I've gotten and firmly view this industry as network driven. At each step, I've enjoyed giving back to those on a similar path as me, and have observed what works and what doesn't work at each career juncture, from undergrad to experienced lateral moves.
