About us 

Our beginnings 

The legacy of Veritas Asset Solutions closely follows the career trajectory of our founding member Satish Babu. Following his illustrious stint with BOB JV (IndiaFirst Life) in 2015, he joined SPA Capital Advisors as a Senior Advisor. His time at SPA was marked by successful undertakings, including his crucial advisory support on the GHMC municipal bond Issue and Placement valued at Rs 3000 crores, which was the first municipal bond in India.

Backed by his critical learnings from SPA Capital Advisors and over 15 years of experience working with Aditya Birla Capital, Reliance Capital, and BoB JV, Satish Babu along with Sreedhar Challa formed Erudite Asset Advisory Services LLP in 2019, which was formally renamed as Veritas Asset Solutions in 2022.
