Piramal Fund - Analyst - Corporate Finance Group

The Piramal Group is a diversified conglomerate with operations in over 30 countries and brand-presence across 100 markets around the world. Since the late 1980s, the Piramal Group has evolved from a textile-centric business to a diversified organization, which operates across sectors such as healthcare, life sciences, healthcare information management, financial services, specialty glass packaging and real estate.

As a Group we have consistently identified opportunities ahead of the curve, even when market situations suggest the opposite. We invested in the domestic formulations business when others were focused on growing international generics. Our persistence paid off when a deal with Abbott in 2010 valued our business at USD 3.72 billion, an unprecedented 9x sales and 30x EBITDA.

The Group has identified financial services as the key growth driver and has developed significant expertise across asset classes and sectors. The financial services arm, Piramal Capital, includes two entities - Piramal Fund Management Pvt. Ltd. (PFMPL) and the Structured Finance Group (SFG) each targeting a sector of national and economic significance i.e. real estate and infrastructure. It also includes Piramal Finance Ltd., which is registered as an NBFC.

PEL's financial services businesses comprise:

- One of the largest wholesale real estate financing businesses

Piramal's financial services businesses are organised as an integrated platform across the capital stack, which enables us to provide financing solutions across private equity, structured / mezzanine equity, structured debt, senior secured debt and even construction finance.

We also have marquee relationships with the largest global pension funds such as:
