Elephant Capital, the India-focussed private equity fund, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Vikram Lall, CBE to the Board as a non-executive director, with immediate effect.

 

Vikram Lall (aged 63) has nearly 40 years' corporate finance experience in the UK, most recently at Brewin Dolphin Holdings PLC, where he was a Corporate Finance Director and Board member for ten years. Prior to its acquisition by Brewin Dolphin, he was a Corporate Finance Director at Bell Lawrie White & Co, for six years, and he has been an executive director of Noble Grossart Ltd, an Edinburgh-based merchant bank. Vikram Lall is a non-executive director of ISIS Property Trust, and Crown Place VCT, both of which are quoted entities and has previously been a non-executive director of a number of public and private companies.

He was appointed CBE in 2005 for services to business in Scotland.

 

Commenting on the change, Gaurav Burman said:

"We are delighted to welcome Vikram to the Board. He brings with him a wealth of public company and UK markets' experience, which I have no doubt will prove invaluable to the future development of Elephant Capital."
