Saumya Rao — CEO

In my previous role as Lead of Corporate Development at BluSmart, I successfully led fundraising initiatives, closing a Pre-Series B round of $25m that resulted in a 10% increase in company valuation. My experience includes investor pitches to and establishing relationships with 50+ institutional investors, family offices and HNIs, which has honed my skills in investor relations and strategic communication. Additionally, I have developed comprehensive pitch books and financial models that have facilitated successful investor negotiations. Previously, as an Investment Banking Senior Analyst at Goldman Sachs, I was deeply involved in merger & acquisition, both buyside and sell-side, divestiture, and IPO advisory for clients. My responsibilities included conducting financial modelling, valuation analysis, preparing detailed marketing materials for client engagements, and managing due diligence processes. Notably, I played a key role in 10+ significant transactions such as the sale of Richemont’s online fashion retail business for EUR 2.7bn and advising on the IPO of Norway’s leading retailer.
