About Ajinkya
Ajinkya Deshmukh
A high-impact finance professional with a specialized track record in Restructuring, Credit Risk, and Private Equity. Having recently completed a Master in Finance at IE Business School (Ranked 12th Globally by FT'24) and international exchange at HKUST, he brings a sophisticated technical toolkit that combines distressed debt expertise with advanced financial modeling in Python and R.
Throughout his career, Ajinkya has executed over $1.5 billion in transactions across Digital Infrastructure, Energy, Real Estate, and Telecom sectors. His core expertise lies in navigating complex capital structures, where he has successfully developed stochastic default models (Monte Carlo), 13-week liquidity waterfalls, and recovery scenarios to secure creditor approval on high-stakes restructurings.
His deal experience is marked by a unique blend of advisory and principal-side perspectives:
- Restructuring & Credit: Managed the modeling and negotiation for a $155M US Energy Distributor restructuring and an $85M German Real Estate recovery, achieving creditor acceptance rates as high as 88%.
- M&A & Private Equity: Spearheaded the valuation and diligence for a $145M EU infrastructure acquisition and supported a $98M SaaS private placement, consistently underwriting double-digit IRRs.
- Special Situations: Expert in Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV), carve-out capital structures, and building earnout mechanisms to bridge value gaps in distressed telecom and chemical acquisitions.
- Digital Infrastructure: Currently optimizes debt capacity and credit-spread sensitivity for large-scale data center rollouts, leveraging infra-specific KPIs to drive lender-viable financing structures.
Ajinkya’s background is further distinguished by his dual-degree in Business and Law (BBA-LLB) and having cleared CFA Level 1, allowing him to bridge the gap between complex legal covenants and rigorous financial analysis.
