Death of a Friend

Siddhartha Bhaiya, MD & CIO of Aequitas is no more.

He passed away due to a cardiac arrest while on a holiday abroad.

This news comes as a shock as he was only 49 years old and quite fit as well.

May God give his family the strength to bear this loss.

I knew Siddhartha for many years now.

He was one of the best fund managers in the country with an enviable track record of success.

He was very honest in his dealings, blunt in his opinions and fearless in his convictions.

He had built Aequitas from the Ground Up. He was very proud of his team, the work culture and the legacy they wanted to build.

He had lots of ambitions for the Co-he was confident they would do well in global markets like they succeeded in India.

He was a true friend to me. I had invited him to speak in investor meets-he would adjust his super busy calendar to accommodate me. Used to say – ‘I want to support you and would do this for you’

Will miss him.
