Born in Bombay, and raised in Singapore, Anand Sambasivan was destined to be a doctor - till it turned out he wasn't very good at medicine. He went into investment banking and then set up a hedge fund, where he had privileged access to IPOs and other share offerings. But he didn’t think it was fair. So he founded PrimaryBid to level the playing field. Thanks to the London-based fintech - and a partnership with the LSE - retail investors have had access to IPOs, such as Deliveroo and PensionBee, and share sales by the likes of Compass Group, Ocado and Taylor Wimpey. WIth more than 160 deals done, PrimaryBid has now launched in France. The U.S. may not be far behind, as Anand continues on his mission to put the P back in IPO.
