Financier Entrusted With Center East Billions Makes an attempt Comeback

The Indian-born financier who helped open the floodgates to Center Jap wealth for Masayoshi Son’s $100 billion Imaginative and prescient Fund is trying his second act. This time, he’s going solo.

At SoftBank Group Corp.’s splashy tech automobile, Rajeev Misra helped safe commitments value $45 billion from Saudi Arabia’s Public Funding Fund and $15 billion from Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Funding Co. Investments in high-flying startups ensued — Uber Applied sciences Inc. and WeWork Inc. amongst them — however many bets blew up as markets turned. Misra largely stepped again from that enterprise in 2022 after a tenure marred by inner clashes and funding writedowns.
