SSKI Corporate Finance

Nitin Raheja serves as Executive Director and sets the strategic direction. Sector heads lead day-to-day mandates. Because SSKI is a pure advisory firm rather than a fund manager, the concept of an investment committee applies differently — every transaction is client-driven, and senior bankers are accountable for mandate execution within their verticals.

No. SSKI is structured solely as a corporate finance advisory firm. It does not run a credit fund, an alternative investment fund, or a portfolio management scheme. Revenue comes from advisory fees on closed transactions, not from asset management.

SSKI Corporate Finance was carved out of the wider SSKI group, which historically included SSKI Investor Services, a retail-facing stockbroking and research business. The group later sold its retail broking platform, leaving SSKI Corporate Finance as the sole advisory entity. The separation was intended to isolate the institutional advisory practice from the retail business.

SSKI focuses on a handful of domestic sectors — principally pharmaceuticals, healthcare, real estate, and some industrials. The firm publicly highlights sector depth, not breadth. There is no evidence of it actively pursuing mandates in technology, consumer internet, or financial services M&A, which are dominated by larger banks and specialized boutiques in India.

As a pure advisory house with no disclosed proprietary capital pool, SSKI does not co-invest alongside clients. Its conflict-light positioning hinges on this separation — the firm earns success fees for closing client transactions and does not hold equity stakes in the entities it advises (per public record).
