Gaurav Pant is set to leave Apollo at the end of the year, according to sources who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information. Apollo declined to comment on the personnel move. Pant is a partner based in Singapore and has been a key figure in the firm's hybrid efforts across Asia.
Pant helped establish Apollo's private credit presence in Singapore and was among the early group behind the firm's Hybrid Value platform, which rolled out globally in 2018. That strategy takes a more flexible route than a classic buyout fund, supplying debt and structured equity to founders who want to build their businesses without giving up control.

Pant led Apollo's hybrid investments in Global Schools Group and in Charles Monat Associates, the insurance brokerage that serves wealthy clients, where he also serves on the board. He played a role in Tega Industries' acquisition, alongside Apollo, of Molycop, which provides consumable materials for the mining sector. Before joining Apollo in 2008, Pant worked in Merrill Lynch's investment banking team in both Singapore and Mumbai.
