People who have closely followed Prasad's investment style, said he has a knack of identifying the next. : Way back in 1998, global private equity major Warburg Pincus invested around $300 million in Bharti Televentures. When the New York-based PE fund offloaded remainder of its 20 per cent stake in Bharti in 2005, it cashed out at $1.9 billion. That's the beauty of Pulak Prasad's investment strategy, who had led the investment decision in the telecom firm during his stint at Warburg Pincus.
