Sanjay Chugani Elevated to Head – Investments at Vertis Infrastructure Trust

Vertis Infrastructure Trust has announced the elevation of Sanjay Chugani to Head – Investments. In his expanded role, Sanjay will lead the platform’s investment agenda, including the origination, evaluation and execution of new investments, while supporting Vertis’ continued portfolio growth and capital deployment strategy.

Since joining Vertis in 2022, Sanjay has taken on progressively broader responsibilities across the investment lifecycle. He has been closely involved in various acquisitions, including the 12-asset PNC roads portfolio, one of the largest transactions in India’s roads sector. He has also contributed across debt strategy, capital raising and post-acquisition integration as Vertis has developed into one of India’s fastest-growing investor-backed infrastructure platforms.

Sanjay joined Vertis as Principal, subsequently served as Senior Principal and now assumes leadership of the investments function.

He brings well-rounded experience across infrastructure investing, investment banking, equity capital markets and debt capital markets. Prior to Vertis, Sanjay spent more than six years with Equirus Group in its Infrastructure and Industrials investment-banking practice, working across M&A, private placements, IPOs, QIPs and structured-debt transactions.

Earlier, at L&T Infrastructure Finance, he worked across debt capital markets, including the structuring, execution and management of fixed-income transactions. He began his professional career at Deloitte, where he worked across audit and risk-assurance engagements.

In his new role, Sanjay will continue to build Vertis’ investment pipeline across its core and adjacent infrastructure sectors, with an emphasis on portfolio quality, disciplined underwriting and sustainable long-term growth.
