In this episode of the Engaging People Pod, Raman Sehgal discusses his journey from growing up in Newcastle to becoming a successful entrepreneur and building a global pharmaceutical marketing business.
Raman shares how a chance opportunity in pharmaceutical marketing shaped his career, why specialising in a niche industry transformed his business, and how expanding into the US helped drive significant international growth.
The conversation also explores Raman’s experience of selling a majority stake in his business to private equity, including knowing when the time was right to sell, business valuation, EBITDA, deal timing and the realities of preparing a company for an exit.
Raman also opens up about life after selling a business, stepping away from the day-to-day running of a company, managing wealth, finding balance after years of entrepreneurship and deciding what comes next.
If you're interested in entrepreneurship, business growth, private equity, business exits, international expansion, investing, wealth management and life after selling a business, this episode is well worth a listen.
