Alykhan's Story
Alykhan was drawn to Apax by the opportunity to help co-lead the Apax Impact team, building on the long standing and authentic Impact heritage of the firm. The global nature of Apax and diversity of its people resonated with his own background, having lived in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Alykhan grew up in a family of immigrants who settled in East Africa. Forging a life as newcomers in an environment full of change meant a lot of knocks. To prosper, you required constant hustle, entrepreneurial spark, and the ability to always pick yourself up, lock arms with your colleagues, and look to the future with with hope, optimism and a healthy dose of steely determination. Alykhan looks to bring this energy and spirit to Apax.
