Meet the Founder

Shah Ektedar Ahmed
Founder & Managing Partner
Ektedar approaches cross-border partnerships with the perspective of an operator with 5+ years as a founder. He has navigated South Asian OEM manufacturing, built and successfully exited an enterprise sales platform—which he drew heavily from to develop the distribution capacity now leveraged to originate proprietary partnerships.
Today, he works alongside a group of highly accomplished veterans to connect Asia's frontier regions' off-market opportunities with global sponsors.
