The Future of Tech M&A: Insights from Vineet Asthana | Under the Gulmohar Tree Podcast
Welcome to Under the Gulmohar Tree Podcast by Gulmohar Capital Partners!
In this episode, Sumit Aneja sits down with Vineet Asthana, Global Head of Technology and Business Services M&A at Kroll.
Vineet brings a wealth of experience from his leadership roles at Deutsche Bank, Citi, Rothschild, and now Kroll — where he advises companies on complex M&A transactions in the software and technology sectors globally.
🔹 In this episode, we cover:
The evolution of the M&A landscape post-2020 — from COVID disruptions to the impact of rising interest rates
Key drivers of deal activity today: recurring B2B revenue, strong gross/net retention, and scale milestones like $10M+ ARR
How buyers evaluate AI capabilities — real usage vs. marketing hype
Private equity vs. strategic exits — what founders need to understand about valuation, deal structure, and second bites
Career lessons from investment banking: perseverance, grit, and playing the long game
🎯 Key Takeaways:
Building and scaling a tech business today requires operational excellence, clear visibility into KPIs, and defensible market positioning.
Software companies meaningfully applying AI — not just marketing it — will define the next decade of M&A premium.
Management teams matter more than ever to investors, not just product-market fit.
💬 Quotes to Remember:
"M&A is about setting the right expectations early — with clients, teams, and yourself." "Athletes often make great bankers — resilience matters as much as IQ."
