Over his career, Amit has started or nurtured multiple businesses in the financial sector to scale up their operations in India and across the globe. This includes his role as the co-founder and former Executive Director of Mumbai-headquartered IIFL Wealth Management — one of India’s largest wealth and asset management firms with footprint in 20+ locations in India and eight cities globally.
After completing his postgraduate studies in Delhi, Amit began his career in corporate banking with IDBI Bank when it was expanding its presence in Gujarat. He later went on to work with Citigroup in India where he helped expand the then newly-launched Investments Services in the country. In 2002, Amit joined the pioneering team at Kotak Mahindra Bank, a year before the bank fully commenced its operations. He spent six years at Kotak, working in both India and the US for them.
Amit led the asset management business at IIFL, growing it to become the largest AIF player in India.
In 2008, Amit and several of his colleagues from Kotak partnered with IIFL to launch IIFL Wealth Management.

During his time at IIFL, Amit personally led the asset management business (both India and abroad) to become the largest AIF player in India, with assets under advisory/management of around US$5 billion. He was credited for bringing a unique, catalysing touch to the business; particularly with the launch of the innovative IIFL Special Opportunities Fund which created a record US$1 billion private equity fund — the largest fund of its kind in India on the asset management side.
For his accomplishments, Amit in 2016 received the ‘NRI of the Year’ award for the Asia Pacific region; an accolade that recognises Indian nationals who have achieved notable success overseas.
