With more than 30 years of experience across private credit, banking, and real estate, Mr. Mukerji brings deep expertise in value-driven and distressed investing. He has worked extensively with capital providers and Indian corporates across the investment spectrum, from traditional banking to complex structured credit.

Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Mukerji served as Managing Director and part of the founding investment team at Apollo Global Management’s Asia Real Estate Group, where he led marquee real estate transactions across India. He was also a founding partner at Rezone Investment Advisors and has held leadership roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, UBS, Dell Corporation, GE Capital, and ABN AMRO Bank.
Himanshu Bajaj, Managing Director & Head – A&M India and GCC, said, “India is entering a pivotal phase where access to tailored capital solutions is becoming a strategic imperative for businesses. The surge in private credit activity, combined with evolving real estate capital requirements, is creating a fertile environment for innovative financing structures.

We are confident that his experience will help unlock long-term value creation for clients seeking innovative credit solutions.”
Arpito Mukerji, Managing Director, A&M India, said, “The Indian private credit landscape is maturing rapidly, marked by growing investor appetite for yield, and a shift towards bespoke, risk-calibrated structures. At the same time, real estate markets are evolving beyond traditional models, driven by institutional capital and regulatory evolution.
