Ambit gets Lazard top brass to join as partners
Mumbai: Investment bankers Ashish Guha, Amit Mukherjee and Sanjay Sakhuja, who quit from Lazard India a month ago are joining Ambit Corporate Finance as partners from August 1. They will form part of a new 'Vision 2005' strategy team at the six-year-old boutique investment bank.

Ashok Wadhwa, founder & MD, Ambit Corporate Finance said, "We are reasonably optimistic about the country's economic climate and our timing (in hiring the three investment bankers) could not have been better. Ambit has existing client relationships that need to be better exploited, which is what the three new partners will do. Moreover, they are bringing on board their own relationships," he said.

Mr Guha was the chief at Lazard India, running the operations from August '02 onwards after chairman Udayan Bose moved to London while Mr Mukherjee, a managing director at Lazard India, led the healthcare, FMCG, media and technology practices.

Mr Sakhuja was responsible for the banking and financial services and the FMCG industry practices of the firm.
