Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, November 2025 — Bajaj Group, a diversified conglomerate with interests in Sugar, Ethanol, Power, and FMCG, has announced the appointment of Jitendra Gohil, CFA, as the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of its alternative investment arm. With over two decades of deep experience across asset management, equity research, and credit risk, Gohil’s appointment marks a pivotal step in the Group’s strategic expansion into India’s rapidly growing alternative investment landscape.
Prior to joining Bajaj Group, Jitendra Gohil served as Chief Investment Strategist at Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited, where he played a key role in driving investment frameworks, thematic strategies, and market insights across equity and multi-asset portfolios. His leadership at Kotak was instrumental in aligning investment strategy with market foresight and disciplined governance.
Before Kotak, Gohil spent over thirteen years at Credit Suisse, where he held multiple leadership positions, including Director and Head of Equity Research for Wealth Management and Vice President, India Research. He spearheaded thematic and quantitative research initiatives, developed high-conviction investment ideas, and built robust sectoral models that strengthened the firm’s research edge in the Indian and global markets.
Earlier in his career, Gohil worked with Bank of America, handling credit risk for key European utilities, and began his professional journey at the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), where he focused on member services and institutional relationships. His rich background across global financial institutions—spanning equity, credit, and strategy—brings an invaluable perspective to his new role at Bajaj Group.
As Chief Investment Officer, Jitendra Gohil will lead the Group’s upcoming Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) initiative, focusing on long-term value creation through research-driven, institutionally governed strategies. His leadership will be central to scaling Bajaj’s presence in India’s ₹15 trillion alternatives market, ensuring alignment between investment innovation, sustainability, and governance.
