About Suprabhaatam Partners
Suprabhaatam Partners provides premium investment banking, transaction diligence, and strategic advisory services to founders, investors, and corporates. Our work spans M&A transactions, strategic growth initiatives, value creation programs, and in-depth market and equity research. We are now integrating AI and automation into our workflows to deliver faster, deeper, and more scalable insights.
Role Overview
As an Investment Banking Analyst, you will work on live and pipeline engagements across the full deal lifecycle—pre-deal screening, deal execution, and post-deal integration and value tracking. You will analyse industries, companies, and transactions; build financial models; prepare client-ready materials; and support the design of strategic recommendations.
This role is ideal for someone with strong analytical skills and a keen interest in M&A, corporate strategy, and value creation. It is open to both freshers with strong fundamentals and experienced professionals who can independently own workstreams.
Key Responsibilities

- Pre-deal: market mapping, target screening, preliminary valuation, and teasers
- Deal phase: detailed valuation, financial modelling, due diligence coordination, CIMs, management presentations, and negotiation support
- Post-deal: integration planning support, synergy tracking, and value realization analysis
- Conduct industry and company research to identify trends, risks, and opportunities
- Prepare high-quality client deliverables: pitch books, information memoranda, valuation summaries, diligence reports, and board memos
Strategic Advisory & Value Creation
- Work on corporate strategy projects: growth options, market entry, portfolio optimization, and business model design
- Support value creation initiatives: cost optimization, revenue enhancement, operational improvements, and KPI frameworks
- Develop data-driven recommendations supported by robust analysis and clear storytelling
Analytical & Modelling Work
- Build and maintain financial models for valuation (DCF, comps, precedent transactions), scenario analysis, and sensitivity testing
- Analyse financial statements, operating metrics, and market data to derive insights
- Ensure accuracy, consistency, and auditability of all analytical work
Research & Thought Leadership
- Contribute to internal and client-facing research reports on M&A trends, sector dynamics, and market opportunities
- Help develop proprietary frameworks and tools to enhance our advisory capabilities
- Support the integration of AI and automation into analytical workflows (e.g., data extraction, initial drafts, screening)
Client & Internal Collaboration
- Work closely with senior advisors and clients to refine problem statements and solution approaches
- Coordinate with legal, accounting, and other advisors during diligence and transaction execution
- Maintain clear, timely communication and documentation of workstreams
