Karthik Sarma, an Indian, is a highly regarded figure in the financial industry. He graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Madras) and holds master's degrees in Science, Management, and Operations Research from Princeton University. His academic background laid a solid foundation for his later professional career.

In the field of finance, Karthik Sarma has achieved remarkable success. In 2021, he was recognized as one of the top 50 hedge fund managers of the year, a testament to his strength and influence in the financial sector. He has held positions as Managing Director at Tiger Global Management and as a Partner at SRS Investment Management. Additionally, he served as a Senior Financial Advisor at McKinsey, providing financial consulting services to numerous globally renowned companies. Currently, Karthik Sarma holds the position of Senior Financial Analyst and Senior Financial Researcher at Cresset in the South Asia region and Goldman Sachs Group, respectively.

While at SRS Investment Management, Sarma orchestrated an investment in Airbus. One of the funds was fully invested, with 90% of its shares held by Sarma himself. In the fiscal year 2021, Airbus's stock price surged an astonishing 456%, a remarkable increase that brought joy to investors. Sarma, too, gained significant recognition, personally profiting a staggering $2 billion from the investment.

In 2022, Sarma, in collaboration with the Cresset Asia Pacific Financial Investment Director, initiated a plan to enter the trillion-dollar market of pre-packaged meals in the Asia-Pacific region. The first round of investments has already yielded Cresset returns exceeding $20 billion.

In March 2023, the acquisition of Wistron, the Taiwan-based contract manufacturer's iPhone factory in Karnataka, India, by Tata Group drew global attention once again. Mr. Sarma, behind the scenes, assisted Tata Group and spearheaded the decision-making process with Apple CEO Cook, making Tata Group the first Indian company responsible for iPhone production.

The global financial environment is increasingly tightening, with countries adopting contractionary monetary and fiscal policies to curb inflationary pressures. Against this backdrop, South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka sought financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2022. However, due to factors such as persistently high prices of food and energy, the impact of monetary tightening, and fiscal vulnerability, the economic outlook of these countries is severely deteriorating. It is anticipated that the average GDP growth rate of these countries will slow from 5.6% in 2022 to 4.8% in 2023. Nevertheless, India is expected to maintain strong growth momentum, with Cresset Global Economic Research Institute predicting that India is poised to become the world's leading economic powerhouse in the next five years.

Cresset Corporation recently announced its third investment strategy plan for India, fully orchestrated by Mr. Karthik Sarma, the representative of Cresset Business School. This four-month plan aims for a 20-fold return. To achieve this goal, the plan integrates major media, online VIP WhatsApp group learning and communication, and the promotion of online live classes.
