New Delhi, Aug. 13 -- US-based business management consultancy firm Alvarez & Marsal has appointed former Apollo Global Management executive Arpito Mukerji as the managing director within its financial advisory and special situations practice.

Mukerji will be responsible for building the firm's debt financing vertical in India.

Mukerji comes with over three decades of experience across private credit, banking, and real estate. Specifically, he possesses an 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. His track record includes originating, managing, and exiting high-impact investments across asset classes and geographies.

In his previous role, he served as managing director and part of the founding investment team at Apollo Global Management's Asia Real Estate Group, wherein, 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.

"The Indian private credit landscape is maturing rapidly, marked by growing investor appetite for yield, and a shift towards bespoke, risk-calibrated structures. Simultaneously, real estate markets are evolving beyond traditional models, driven by institutional capital and regulatory evolution," Mukerji said.

"A&M's global network, trusted advisory model, and commitment to execution excellence make it an ideal platform to serve the dynamic needs of businesses today," he added.

Founded in 1983, Alvarez & Marsal provides advisory, business performance improvement, and turnaround management services. It caters to corporates, boards, private equity firms, law firms, and government agencies among others.

Alvarez & Marsal's structured finance and private credit advisory offering plays a critical role in bridging capital dislocations across sectors such as real estate, infrastructure, metals & mining, renewables and special situations. The company has deployed $7-8 billion of private credit in India annually over the last two years across over 200 deals.
