Ever since SEBI dropped its bombshell order against a trading firm accused of market manipulation, law firms have remained conspicuously silent. Word on the street is that this Wall Street firm is shopping for legal representation, and every big law firm wants to be the one to land the case. The catch? To even stand a chance, you’ve got to stay very quiet. No public statements, no opinions, just radio silence. With massive advisory fees on the table and international eyes watching closely, who wouldn’t want in?

Deal Street can’t stop gushing over this pharma and healthcare executive and IIT alumnus, who once helped build a well-known Bengaluru-based peer, and now one of its rivals. The gentleman, along with his co-founders and A-team, has built a widely admired, IPO-bound firm. Bankers refer to him as a “star,” and the word is that he was a smash hit during the investor roadshows. The PE fund on board would be hoping the good buzz translates into a stellar debut on Dalal Street!
