Investment round was led by Saif and transaction was led by SAM and Indus. Sameer and his client had very limited role. Surprised to see the headline and the effort to hog the lime light.

Good to know. The earlier comment didn't say lead or run in any case. But God to see you reading Bettendorf the lines when it comes to the article and not when in congress to the comment. Convenience, I must say.

Sameer is a wonderful opposing counsel as well as a great mentor. Great years ahead for him and JMP!
