Pauls has spent more than twenty-one years between Big Four advisory and senior industry roles in India and the Middle East, with particular depth in cross-border arrangements between India and the Gulf. His work covers the full arc of a transaction: due diligence, valuation, deal structuring and post-transaction integration.
He has led and advised on mandates in retail, information technology and ITES, manufacturing, hospitality, infrastructure, automotive, telecoms and healthcare.
He is a Chartered Accountant (ICAI, India) and holds a Bachelor of Laws — a pairing that serves work where the commercial question and the regulatory one arrive together.
At ATB, he leads the consulting, transaction advisory and cross-border structuring practice. He works directly with clients from mandate scoping through delivery, and manages the engagement to the point where the market entry or transaction is done.
