India and Southeast Asia-focused investment manager <a href="https://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=Everstone Group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Everstone Group</a> has appointed Sanjay Gujral, formerly a regional managing director at <a href="https://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=L Catterton Asia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">L Catterton Asia</a>, as its chief operating officer.
Gujral, who served L Catterton Asia for about six years, will be based in Singapore and will split his time between Singapore and India, Everstone said in a statement on Monday.

He joined L Catterton Asia to lead the Indian advisory business in early 2011, and moved into a regional role in Singapore in mid-2012.
Prior to joining Everstone and L Catterton Asia, Gujral spent 11 years in corporate finance advisory at Arthur Andersen, Ernst &amp; Young and Ambit Corporate Finance.
Gujral is an MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru, and a commerce graduate from the Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University. He has over 20 years of experience in private equity, M&amp;A and financial advisory.
Founded in 2006 by Atul Kapur and Sain, Everstone, which has dedicated private equity and real estate funds, has nearly $4 billion assets under management. It over 260 people working across seven offices &#8211; Singapore, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Mauritius, London and New York.
In April, Everstone announced the setting up a $711-million India-focused green fund along with British solar power company Lightsource BP to invest in Indian power, distribution infrastructure and energy services. It closed its third sector-agnostic but consumer-themed fund, Everstone Capital Partners III LP at $730 million, which was oversubscribed.
