Commenting on this achievement of MX Capital:

Himanshu Shah, Founder & Managing Director of Neela Systems Ltd (acquired by PRAJ Industries Ltd) - "I was approached by various investment bankers, Big 4s and private equity funds before I met Merzi. In a nutshell, I would describe Merzi as someone you can trust for his commitment to client goals and has the ability to deal with critical bottle-necks by creatively facilitating a common ground to effect deal closure and convince all stakeholders.

Ajay Relan, Founder & Managing Partner of CX Partners - "Merzi has a deep understanding of what is attractive and desirable from the standpoint of an investor, and he has the wisdom to be a fair arbiter of value. Both these qualities are integral to his remarkable success as an investment banker".

Bala Deshpande, Senior Managing Director of NEA India - "We have dealt with Merzi on several transactions and the one thing that stands out is his commitment to doing the appropriate thing for the company as well as the investor. The commendable thing is that he follows this belief EVEN IF it means that a deal may not happen".
