“The transaction exemplifies Northern Arc Capital’s ability to create value for partners across sizes and credit ratings. Through customized product solutions, we have been able to evince the interest of new investors to our sectors and partners,” said Bama Balakrishnan, operations chief of Northern Arc Capital.
