Citi India has appointed Raj Rathi as Head of M&A in India, with a mandate to drive sector-focused advisory and expand the bank’s dealmaking footprint.
Rathi will lead Citi’s M&A franchise and oversee advisory on complex transactions, while also taking on sector coverage responsibilities for digital infrastructure, EMS, and B2B commerce. He will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated solutions to clients.
He brings over 15 years of experience in investment banking and advisory, and joins Citi from Dream Sports, where he was responsible for strategy and corporate development, including partnerships and investments worth approximately $150 million.
The appointment comes at a time when Citi is strengthening its India investment banking business, backed by its consistent top ranking in M&A advisory by deal value over the past two years.
With increasing deal activity across sectors, Citi is positioning itself to capture a larger share of high-value transactions in the Indian market.
