Mumbai, November 18, 2015: GREX Alternative Investments Market, a seamlessly integrated exchange-like platform, today announced the appointment two new advisors. Ashith Kampani and Joseph Bosco have been appointed as advisors to GREX, who will bring in their years of deep experience in Capital Markets with them to the company.
Ashith N. Kampani, a very well-known name in the Capital Market circles, in the last 33 years amongst other things, has had an opportunity to work closely with the Morgan Stanley JV (JM Morgan Stanley) and later at JM Financial. He served as Managing Director, during his tenure with JM Financial where he played different roles and gained experience in various spheres of capital markets like Equity Brokerage, Investment Banking, Private Wealth, M&A and Private Equity.
Speaking on the occasion, Ashith N. Kampani said, “I got inquisitive on reading about GREX first through Business news. When I happened to meet the team I realized that GREX has been working on creating entire eco-system like Investors, Issuers, Sponsors, Custodians and Registrar on one side and on the other side creating an Information Exchange, connecting Credit Rating Agency, Private Company Research as well as Analytics and others. All these under one roof works seamlessly and has a potential to create a disruption in the unlisted markets not only in India but globally as the model matures. I am very happy to contribute my bit to help create this inclusive ecosystem which, apart from being much needed today, is also at the same time a very innovative approach to funnel the required growth capital to private companies.”
Joseph H Bosco has more than 40 years of participation and exposure in the financial sector domain. He held positions of MD / CEO along with senior functional and Regulatory offices in the domestic and international Capital Market jurisdictions for the last 19 years. He has also led several companies such as Global Board of Trade (GBOT now renamed as Bourse Africa), Mauritius and Dubai International Financial Exchange (DIFX now known as NASDAQ Dubai). He was the Assistant Vice President and Head of Listings at National Stock Exchange of India, Mumbai from 1996-2004.
Interestingly, Joseph H Bosco, during his tenure as MD & CEO of OTC Exchange of India Ltd, India (1998-2000), was instrumental in conceiving and creating a new market in India focused on dealings of private unlisted companies by certain accredited investors through an online unanimous trading mechanism.
Expressing his delight at this occasion, Joseph H Bosco said, “GREX in many ways is similar to the idea of an unlisted market place, that I was involved with. I was naturally intrigued when I heard about GREX and I’m happy that what I began in 1999 is finally happening now and am glad to contribute my experience towards relishing this common dream. I am confident that the investment facilitation platform and all the surrounds that have been put in place by GREX are extremely apt for organised as well as individual Venture Investors. It will become the new Market Place for Primary Investors who have good risk taking appetite based on an organised pool of information.”
Commenting on the new additions to the team, Manish Kumar, CEO, GREX said, “I’m very delighted to have such senior people joining us. Both Mr. Kampani and Mr. Bosco have had experiences that are complementary to each other and thus as a larger team we have much deeper expertise available with GREX. We always wanted GREX to be a serious and robust platform and this rich experience with us helps us move in the right direction. Since the day of our association with them we have been bouncing off ideas with them and have been receiving feedback on various approaches that one may take based on their experience.”
