MUMBAI: Bain Capital<\/a>, GIC<\/a> and Advent International have together invested $350 million (about Rs 2,400 crore) in Quest Global Services, valuing the Singapore-based engineering services firm at $1billion.
\n
These firms have completed the purchase of the stake held by US private equity fund
Warburg Pincus<\/a> and certain other shareholders of the company, Quest said in a news release. Bain and GIC signed the deal with Warburg Pincus in December and were awaiting regulatory clearances, sources said. ET reported in its February 1 edition that Advent had agreed to acquire the stake of some minority shareholders.
\n
Founded in 1997 by Ajit Prabhu and Aravind Melligeri, Quest provides
engineering outsourcing<\/a> services to companies in sectors including aviation, automobiles, oil and gas, power, and healthcare. It counts Rolls-Royce, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and Airbus among its clients.
\n
\nWith revenue of $385 million in 2015, Quest is projected to post a consolidated operating profit of around $84 million this fiscal year. It has grown through acquisitions, including buyouts of Kerala-based NeST Software and Germany's EDF in the past year. The transaction marks the second private equity exit in Quest after Carlyle Group, which invested $6 million as growth capital in the company in 2003, was bought out by the management in 2007.
\n
\nWarburg Pincus, which invested $75 million in Quest in 2010, is exiting with a near fourfold return on constant currency terms – that is, after eliminating the effects of exchange rate fluctuations. Credit Suisse was the financial adviser to Quest in the transaction. Jefferies advised Advent, sources said.
\n
\nBulge bracket private equity funds from the US, Europe and Asia had shown interest in buying the stake held by Warburg Pincus. The Carlyle Group, Apax Partners, Baring Asia and a private equity fund managed by Goldman Sachs participated in the previous rounds of bidding. Quest’s service portfolio includes mechanical, embedded and engineering software offerings across hightech industries such as aerospace, transportation, energy and medical devices. It operates out of 31 centres globally with delivery centres in the US, the UK, Singapore, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Japan and India, and employs 7,300 people.
\n
“We started Quest with the vision of becoming the most recognised and trusted global engineering partner for our customers,” said cofounder and CEO Ajit Prabhu. “This investment by three of the most respected
global investors<\/a> reflects the progress we are making. It crystallises the value we have created for our shareholders and employees who have placed their belief in us.” \n<\/p><\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":51049429,"title":"India growth engine for Twitter in Asia, says global COO Adam Bain","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/india-growth-engine-for-twitter-in-asia-says-global-coo-adam-bain\/51049429","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":51049583,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Bain Capital, GIC, Advent pump in $350 million for minority stake in QuEST","synopsis":"These firms have completed the purchase of the stake held by an affiliate of global private equity firm Warburg Pincus & certain other shareholders.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/bain-capital-gic-advent-pump-in-350-million-for-minority-stake-in-quest","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Anirban Sen","author_link":"\/author\/479240111\/anirban-sen","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479240111.cms?width=100&height=100","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479240111,"author_name":"Anirban Sen","author_seo_name":"anirban-sen","designation":"Correspondent","agency":false}}],"analytics":{"comments":0,"views":228,"shares":0,"engagementtimems":1090000},"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2016-02-19 08:14:20","lastupd":"2016-02-19 08:15:19","breadcrumbTags":["GIC","Global investors","Bain Capital","Warburg Pincus","Enterprise Services","Engineering outsourcing"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/bain-capital-gic-advent-pump-in-350-million-for-minority-stake-in-quest"}}" data-authors="[" anirban sen"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-02-19" data-index="article_1">
