Schroders Capital has hired Ankita Baheti as investment director for private equity as part of the UK asset manager’s expansion of its private equity capabilities in Asia with the broadening of resources in secondaries and India private equity.
Based in Singapore, Baheti will focus on the secondaries market and will work closely with David Bajada, investment director for private equity at Schroders Capital and the wider Asian private equity team. Baheti was most recently vice president at TPG NewQuest in Mumbai.
The private equity team is planning to grow its Singapore presence further, with the intention of increasing headcount in the coming months, Schroders said.
“With Ankita’s addition to our Asia private equity team, we believe that her extensive sector expertise and secondary execution track record perfectly align with our strategy. Her appointment is a testament to our resolve, ensuring that we continue to stay ahead of the curve and further capitalise on the dynamism of these markets,” said Rainer Ender, global head of private equity at Schroders Capital.
