SD Partners

Founded in 2019 and led by partners Anuj Dubey and Shweta Dubey, SD Partners is a boutique business and IT consulting firm specialising in the outsourcing sector. The firm operates from Gurgaon and Mumbai. 

The firm has developed a notable M&A practice, advising clients on transaction structuring and negotiations across sectors including information technology, defense, and manufacturing. It also maintains a strong restructuring and insolvency practice, frequently representing insolvency professionals and advising on distressed asset acquisitions and disposals. 

Highlights  

Recent examples of the firm's deal work include advising on the sensitive, intra-group sale of minority stakes in Vision Rx Labs to its majority shareholder, a transaction that required meticulous management of valuation, shareholder dynamics, and regulatory compliance. 

On the restructuring and insolvency front, the firm secured a landmark judgment for Axis Bank in the Birla Tyre matter. This precedent-setting case, which involved complex questions on security interest enforcement, clarified crucial creditor rights under India's Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The widely cited ruling has strengthened the recovery framework, providing greater certainty for financial institutions.
