From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Navatar Group provides cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS) products to financial firms globally.[1][2][3][4][5] It offers its financial products to clients in more than 30 countries around the world.[1][4] The company was founded in 2004 and has its headquarters on Wall Street in New York City in the United States along with an office in New Delhi, India.[1][3][4][6] Alok Misra and Ketan Khandkar are the founders of Navatar Group and serve as the company's Principals.[1][2][3][4]

History[edit]

Alok Misra and Ketan Khandkar, former employees of Deloitte Consulting, founded Navatar Group in 2004 after noticing a need for the developing new cloud services sector.[1][2][4][6] Early in the company's history, the founders had made Navatar Group partners with Salesforce.com, a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) that also offers global enterprise software.[1][7][8][9]

Navatar Group's initial purpose was to provide CRM services to the small-to-medium business market, and it was the first to offer cloud products for capital markets and private equity on Wall Street.[1][6]

Navatar Group began to shift gears as larger financial firms such as M&T Bank and PNC Bank began to take notice of what it had to offer and began requesting off-the-shelf products in place of relying on internal Information Technology (IT) departments.[1][3][4]

In order to contain costs, the company made the decision to set up sales, management, and support teams for its products in its New Delhi, India, office as the company expanded.[1][4]

Navatar Group's customer base now amounts to over 400 clients in more than 30 countries worldwide.[1][4]

Products[edit]

Navatar Group offers cloud products for capital markets, private equity, hedge funds, fund of funds, mutual funds, mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, real estate funds and corporate development.[1][3][10] Navatar also operates a deal sourcing marketplace for investment bankers and private equity firms worldwide, called Navatar Deal Connect.[1][3][4][10][11]
