Srini joined British International Investment in 2013 to lead the Asia team under British International Investment’s new investment strategy. He has the distinction of having been our first overseas employee and he has been instrumental in building a high-quality portfolio in the region, which focuses on both equity and debt.

The team is also pioneering initiatives in South-South cooperation and Srini is leading a regionalisation effort to build more capacity in India.

Srini started his career with Standard Chartered Bank both in India and Southern Africa, before joining British International Investment in 1996. He has managed leasing companies in Africa; in India he managed assets for value before moving into mainstream private equity investing for both British International Investment and Actis.
