In welcoming Kunal to his new role, Varun Laul, Partner at Investcorp and Board Member of NuSummit, expressed enthusiasm about his expertise in next-generation technologies that align closely with the company’s core offerings. Laul commented, "Kunal’s extensive experience in scaling global tech businesses is expected to accelerate our growth trajectory and enhance value for our clientele."

Upon his appointment, Purohit conveyed his excitement about joining NuSummit at a pivotal time.
