US-headquartered Ankura has over 1,500 consultants and staff across 35 locations worldwide, but has an ambitious growth ambition, with Asia and India key markets identified for expansion. 

“I am delighted to have joined an exciting and fast growing global consulting firm at Ankura and lead our business in India. Ankura is already been preferred by clients in India for our cutting edge solutions and globally connected offerings,” said Jaju. 

The country head joins from FTI Consulting, where he was a Senior Managing Director and India Head of Technology.

His experience spans multiple industry sectors, most notably financial services, pharma, technology and media & entertainment, and he has served clients in over 20 countries. 

“This feels like homecoming… I look forward to working with the top global experts in the field of investigations, cyber, analytics, digital and compliance,” said Jaju.
