The Assignment
I joined Agarwal Real Estate Group under the Vendor Management vertical, where my work centered on evaluating the financial health of vendors, partners, and infrastructure asset opportunities tied to real estate transactions. My role was to assess financial performance, identify risk, build valuation models, and deliver recommendations that informed capital deployment decisions across cross border markets.

SCOPE
5 Cross Border Transactions · $50M+
SECOND FLOOR · THE INVESTIGATION
What I Dug Into
Within the Vendor Management vertical, financial due diligence meant going beyond surface level numbers. I reviewed vendor and asset financials across 5 cross border transactions, analyzed performance trends, evaluated risk exposure, and validated whether each opportunity met the investment criteria set by leadership.
Financial Statements
Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement reviewed across all 5 target vendor assets.
Performance Analysis
Revenue trends, gross margins, operating profitability, working capital and debt levels assessed for each engagement.
Risk Identification
Cash flow instability, leverage, customer concentration, regulatory exposure and reporting inconsistencies flagged and documented.
Red Flags I Looked For
- ✕Declining revenue
- ✕Negative free cash flow
- ✕Excessive debt
- ✕Weak internal controls
- ✕Inconsistent financial reporting
- ✕Legal liabilities
THIRD FLOOR · THE MODELS
How I Valued the Assets
For $15M in infrastructure assets tied to vendor and real estate transactions, I built Discounted Cash Flow models and multi horizon revenue forecasts to assess whether projected returns justified the investment. These models directly supported the financial recommendations I presented to senior stakeholders.
DCF Model · Step by Step
- Forecast Revenue
- Forecast Expenses
- Calculate Free Cash Flow
- Determine Discount Rate (WACC)
- Calculate Terminal Value
- Discount All Cash Flows to Present Value
- Derive Enterprise Value
Multi Horizon Forecasting
Short term operational planning and cash flow visibility.
Annual budget alignment and performance benchmarking.
Capital allocation and investment horizon decisions.

PENTHOUSE · THE VIEW
Looking Back
Working within the Vendor Management vertical on cross border real estate transactions taught me that financial models are only as good as the judgment behind them. Every assumption in a DCF carries risk and every recommendation to a senior stakeholder requires both analytical rigor and clear communication. This engagement sharpened my ability to synthesize complexity into actionable decisions and gave me direct exposure to how capital is allocated at the investment level.
