With competition rising across industries, companies everywhere are becoming more creative about how they use their resources –financial, human and physical. To attain financial goals, most organizations look forward to experts in the arena. Beyond the core responsibilities of financial reporting, audit and compliance, planning, treasury and capital structure, today, many CFOs play a stronger role in business strategy, corporate governance and value creation. Having been in the financial industry for more than two decades, Rajesh Mittal foresaw the need for CFOs in a wide spectrum of organizations; who have enough complexities but unable to hire or retain a quality CFO. This gap in leadership role in finance function triggered the inception of Alamak Capital Advisors in 2012. It offers high-quality financial, operational and strategic advice besides providing mergers & acquisitions, debt syndication & restructuring, equity (PE & VC advisory) and business advisory services to its clients across industries.

Talking about the company’s inception Rajesh Mittal, Founder and MD, Alamak Capital Advisors says, “While working on an assignment in London as a CFO, one day I was in a discussion with my CEO and it all started from there”. According to him, this motivation triggered to venture into the market as a one man army, which is now a group of senior professionals from diverse functional and industry background; spanning a collective experience of over 150 years. “Out of my 25 years in corporate life, 12-15 years were in leadership positions in finance function; and therefore my acceptability as an independent strategic financial advisor was recognized quickly. We came across organizations struggling to find a CFO or facing competency gap within their existing team; creating a sweet spot for Alamak.” he recollects.
