Bio
Bala Krishnan
Somesh was an MBA intern at FirstCapital (Summer 2016); we worked together in the preparatory phase of a transaction. Somesh was a joy to work with; he was competent, highly committed, detail driven, prompt in his communication and comfortable with ambiguity; when not sure he would ask thought-led questions having tried to find answers first raising the quality of the debate. He was serious about his work while not taking him too seriously making long hours seem shorter! A great find for a strong team.

Somesh worked as an investment banking summer associate with FirstCapital in July and August 2016. It was a very positive experience for FirstCapital and has encouraged us to roll out a formal internship programme. Somesh is smart. He was able to rapidly get to grips with M&A and to start adding value very quickly. His strong tech knowledge from his time at Google was a key asset in helping him to deliver tech insights and strategic thinking. He was a highly effective team member. I would highly recommend him.
