Guru Ramakrishnan founded Meru Capital in 2009 after selling his Old Lane fund to Citigroup in 2007. A close friend of Vikram Pandit, Guru Ramakrishnan was criticized for having the opportunity to start a fund in the height of the latest financial crisis, but to be fair, many fund managers have had a second, or third go-around. The point is this: Meru Capital has more than $500 million in assets under management and its equity investments in the Services and Tech sectors should be watched closely.
