New Delhi [India], June 2: For fund managers navigating digital transformation, the real challenge isn’t the lack of tools – it’s the flood of questions. Where do we begin? What’s worth automating? Should we build or buy? In his new book, Alternative Investments Technology: Bridging the Gap (Taylor & Francis | Routledge), seasoned technologist and enterprise architect Ankur Agarwal offers a practical, jargon-free roadmap to help private capital firms make smarter, business-aligned technology decisions.
Drawing on decades of experience working closely with fund managers, Ankur identifies the recurring dilemmas investment leaders face – dilemmas that are more about change management and strategic clarity than tech specs. This book serves as a field guide for navigating those choices.
“The idea for this book came from years of sitting across the table from fund managers who kept running into the same set of questions,” says Agarwal. “Over time, I realized those questions weren’t just technical – they reflected deeper decision-making dilemmas. Yet there wasn’t a practical guide that looked at these issues from both the business and technology lens. That’s what I set out to write.”
