Global investment bank Nomura has appointed Prabhat Awasthi as its new India head. The appointment will come into effect on April 1, 2017. Awasthi, who is currently India head of equities, will replace current head Vikas Sharma. Awasthi will report to Sharma, who has been elevated to head of Asia (excluding Japan). 
 
“Prabhat’s appointment is recognition of his outstanding achievements as head of equities, India, and the excellent relationships he has built with key institutional clients,” said Sharma.
