Kharanshu Parikh

As the Co-Founder at Ekvity, a Wealth Management and Pre-IPO advisory firm, I focus on providing research-driven financial solutions tailored to individual goals, risk tolerance, and financial positions. At Ekvity, we take pride in being pioneers in Pre-IPO placements, with a strong network that provides access to top management, helping us thrive even in competitive markets.

In addition to overseeing the firm's strategic growth, I lead the HR, Accounts, and Research departments, ensuring smooth operations, a collaborative culture, and data-backed decision-making for our clients' benefit.

> Professional Experience

My journey began at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), where I worked with leading financial institutions. The role provided deep insights into: • Identifying key business risks • Conducting gap analyses • Delivering actionable recommendations • Gaining exposure to global financial markets

I further strengthened my financial foundation at Devsoft Securities Pvt. Ltd., assisting clients with investment advisory and stock selection.

In 2012, I took an entrepreneurial leap and founded Cumulonimbus, a venture in the tourism sector, where I independently managed accounts, finance, and marketing, implementing strategies to drive sustainable growth.

> Athletic & Leadership Background

• Played professional cricket for clubs, colleges, and corporate teams in Mumbai’s ‘B’ Division Times Shield (2011-2013) and MCA summer matches across all levels, earning recognition. • Certified Black Belt Martial Artist, highlighting discipline and perseverance as core principles. • Actively contributed to the Rotaract Club of Bombay Film City, serving in leadership roles like Professional Development Director (2009-2010) and Entrepreneurship & Partners in Service Director (2010-2011).

My approach combines rigorous research, operational oversight, and a collaborative mindset—ensuring that Ekvity and I continue to grow as a trusted partner in wealth management.
