Darshan Patil is a financial research and business analyst with experience spanning buy-side equity research, greenfield project modeling, and private credit due diligence. He has worked across public equity markets and private market advisory in the Middle East, with a focus on Saudi Arabia.
Most recently at Preferred Square, he supported a SAR 5 billion family office with IPO analysis, sector coverage, and investment memos, while also leading financial modeling on two greenfield projects in the food processing and manufacturing sectors.
On the FlyNess IPO, he built a DCF and relative valuation model, made a buy recommendation, and the family office realized a gain of around 20% on listing day.
For a Saudi chocolate factory project, he built the full supply chain and financial model from scratch, sourcing real constraints directly from cocoa traders and German machinery suppliers.
He also co-built a private credit scoring calculator used on live deals to evaluate covenants, fundamentals, and collateral across early-stage credit opportunities.
