Mumbai: For Ruchi Sarna,deal-making is pretty much away of life that begins atbreakfast time. “My negotia-tion starts right from themorning when I send my 15-year-old son to school,”she laughs. Anyone with ateenager in the house willunderstand what she’s talk-ing about.
Sarna also happens to be aninvestment banker at De-loitte Touche Tohmatsu In-dia, a senior manager and amember of the team that ad-vised on the sale of cycle-maker Firefox to the biggerHero Group last week.
Shiv Inder Singh, co-promo-ter and chief executive offi-cer of Firefox Cycles, says hedidn’t realise there was a cer-
tain uniqueness about theDeloitte group. He’d chosenit on merit.
“Among all the bankers whocame to me with variousbusiness ideas, this teamseemed to be more prepared.
They did nothave just themacro out-look of mysector buthad micro-scopic in-sights,” hesays. “Theresourcesthey wereable to de-
pute for the whole deal weretremendous.”
