MUMBAI, India, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Quantum Advisors Private Limited, Sponsor of Quantum Mutual Fund and a SEBI registered Portfolio Manager managing and advising FPIs, with a total AuM over Rs 20,200 crore (As on 30th June 2025) has appointed Nitasha Shankar as the CIO of Quantum Advisors’ Outsourced CIO Strategy. The differentiated services offered under FamilyOffice, is focused on ensuring wealthy families protect and enhance their wealth.
Ajit Dayal, the Founder of Quantum Advisors, said, “As a pioneer of long-term investing we have managed India allocations for some of the world’s highly respected investors from Sovereign Wealth Fund to Pensions to Family Offices and Endowments. In fact, Quantum Advisors has a trademark for the label ‘FamilyOffice’ since 2005. Over the past few months, we have interacted with many wealthy individuals in India who have been impressed with our focus on asset allocation to protect and compound their wealth over market cycles – rather than adopt speculative strategies for the wealth the families have generated from building operating businesses. We are delighted to welcome Nitasha Shankar as the Chief Investment Officer of FamilyOffice – Quantum Advisors’ OCIO Strategy.”
Wealth management in India is witnessing exponential growth as large families have seen their wealth grow in the booming economy as new age entrepreneurs sell equity stakes in their business to operating partners or Private Equity funds.
As per a Knight Frank Wealth Report, India ranks 4th globally with 85,698 HNIs, and 3rd globally in terms of number of billionaires. A report by Techsieresearch, estimated Indian families controlled USD 154 billion of assets in 2024.
This wealth can be either managed internally by a team set up by the family (hence, the term Family Office) or it can be outsourced to external investment firms, like Quantum Advisors – who act as the ‘Outsourced Chief Investment Officer’.
I V Subramaniam, Managing Director of Quantum Advisors, said, “Quantum’s OCIO strategy is designed as a tailor-made approach, with client portfolios comprising a diversified mix of equities, debt, and commodities via a basket of selected mutual fund or direct investments. Nitasha, with over a decade of experience in managing and advising clients, will spearhead our OCIO solutions under the FamilyOffice services to meet the evolving needs of our clients.”
Expressing her enthusiasm, Nitasha Shankar, Chief Investment Officer for Quantum’s OCIO Strategy, said, “Quantum Advisors has earned a distinct reputation in the industry for its values-driven approach, built on simplicity, transparency, and investor centricity. Subbu and Ajit have established Quantum Advisors as one of the trusted names in the investment industry and I had the opportunity to work with them many years ago. I am excited to return to the Quantum family and be part of a team that embodies these principles and is committed to delivering meaningful outcomes for clients.”
Nitasha holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) from Birla Institute of Management Technology. Prior to joining Quantum, she served as President – Fund Management & Head of Equity Strategy at YES Securities India Ltd, where she was responsible for constructing investment portfolios for individual investors, family offices, and institutional clients.
