CVC Taps Finance Veteran Nayar to Expand Its India Operations

Amsterdam-listed private equity firm CVC Capital Partners has appointed Sanjay Nayar, former KKR India chief, as chairman of its India advisory board to bolster its regional strategy. The move targets India’s booming private equity market, one of Asia’s fastest-growing, signaling CVC’s aggressive expansion plans in the region. Nayar’s deep finance expertise and leadership at KKR India position him to guide CVC’s investments and partnerships in the South Asian market.
