 Baird Private Equity has entered into a partnership agreement with Tholons, a globalisation advisory and management consulting firm, in Bangalore, India, to provide support and expertise to Baird's portfolio companies.
A senior advisor at Tholons will work exclusively with Baird's portfolio companies, particularly those in the business services sector, to evaluate, develop and execute strategies in India, Baird Capital Partners Europe said in a statement.
The new dedicated resources in India complement existing Baird operations in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Simon Havers, managing director of Baird Capital Partners Europe, said, 'Baird's expanded presence in Asia supports our European portfolio companies as they address both the competitive threats and commercial opportunities created by globalisation. We have been able to successfully leverage our Asian resources to address opportunities with our portfolio companies, particularly in the manufacturing and business services sectors - most notably recently with Paddock, the UK's leading multi-point lock manufacturer which sources component products from China.
'For small and medium-sized European companies to be successful in Asia, the local relationships and networks that support their efforts are critical. The people we have assembled in both India and China have the depth of experience essential to help our portfolio companies identify ways to grow and create operational efficiencies,' Havers continued.
Baird Private Equity has operations in the US, UK, Germany and China to which Baird Capital Partners Europe has access for deal origination, due diligence and execution.
