Arjun Sawhny is the founder of Divitas Capital, an independent New Delhi–based financial advisory and wealth-management firm he established in 2006. He brings 20+ years of experience across India and London in corporate finance, M&A, and investment banking. Immediately prior to founding Divitas, he served as Head of Mergers & Acquisitions at ANZ Investment Bank in Mumbai (2002–2005).

Earlier in his career, he was a Principal at A.F. Ferguson & Co. until the establishment of KPMG in India in 1993. He then spent two years with KPMG in London and was admitted as a Partner in 1996, going on to set up KPMG's Corporate Finance business in Delhi in 1997. Between these roles he also co-founded a venture-capital-funded high-technology services startup, giving him operating as well as advisory experience.

Academically, Sawhny read for a B.A. (Honours) in Economics at St. Stephen's College, Delhi University (1982), qualified as a Chartered Accountant (1985), and completed a Corporate Finance program at London Business School (1996). His professional expertise centers on auditing, due diligence, M&A execution, and deal structuring.

Today he leads Divitas Capital, which describes itself as an independent mutual-fund distribution and financial-advisory firm serving individual investors, corporates, and high-net-worth families, with reported figures of roughly US$140 million in assets under management, ~98% client retention, and a zero-advisory-fee model. Services span financial advisory, capital markets, wealth management, M&A facilitation, and access to private-equity opportunities.

• Divitas Capital's core business is wealth management and advisory, not startup/venture angel investing; it emphasizes "customized solutions in the areas of financial advisory, capital markets and wealth management."
• Client base is individual investors, corporates, and high-net-worth families in India, primarily via mutual-fund distribution and portfolio advisory.
• Beyond public-markets/wealth products, the firm offers M&A facilitation and access to private-equity opportunities, reflecting Sawhny's corporate-finance and deal background.
• Operates on a stated zero-advisory-fee model, positioning itself on alignment and client retention (~98% reported).
• Caution on the stub data: the "Angel Investors / Seed Round" classification could not be verified from any primary or secondary source. Public information characterizes Sawhny as a wealth-management/M&A-advisory principal rather than an active seed-stage angel.
