An almost-Friday silly short, poking fun at an adjacent, better-attired world
PE and VC investors haven’t let WFH get in the way of deal-making. Deals get announced with great excitement, like Abhimanyu messaging “Perippa, I’m in”. Their flowery dialect isn’t self-evident to outsiders. For greater good, here’s a translation.
So, our dry powder that was meaningfully deployed in a club deal to power a high gross margin ESG compliant business which was keen to join hands with a marquee fund like ours to fund transformational m & a levered by venture debt (through our value addition) has done a stellar job of cutting burn notwithstanding the speed bumps we had in the middle and has now pivoted to a Bharat first model aided by post Covid tail winds. Will I get A+ for getting all of them into one sentence ?
Hahahaha. The way you burn all the fancy people in Finance. Too good. XD
