Mr Moitra said: ‘This is the third such transaction that we have worked on with Roposo and we are proud to partner with the venture. Understanding the unique requirements of the start-up ecosystem has been our forte and this transaction tested our competence in the sphere right from the process of due diligence up to the negotiation of the execution documents.’
