India and Morgan Stanley have lost one of their most senior women bankers with the passing of Aisha de Sequeira, the bank’s co-head for India, who has died aged just 51.
De Sequeira, a senior M&A figure who ran Morgan Stanley’s investment banking operations in India, had been with the firm for 25 years and was India co-head for eight of them.
She was involved in many key deals in India, including Nippon’s investment into Reliance Life and Reliance Asset Management, and the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular.
