“India is a huge market with a lot of potential. Now that we have a strong foothold in northern and western India with our Delhi and Mumbai offices, we wanted to expand our footprint in the south. We think Bangalore is an ideal destination as it provides a good base to tap into the southern India markets,” said Shiv Khazanchi, managing director and head of India operations at Alpen Capital India Pvt Ltd.

Alpen Capital also operates a financial advisory and consultancy services firm in India called Sarasin Alpen India Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of the Swiss private bank, Bank Sarasin. Sarasin Alpen India provides consultancy services to private clients in India and distributes select third-party products.

Earlier this year, California-based boutique M&A advisory firm Martin Wolf, which operates as martinwolf, made foray into the country and set up its first office in Bangalore.
