Shah Ektedar “Spaursho” Ahmed

Managing Partner

Spaursho draws from his 5 years of founder experience across enterprise services for tech companies, e-commerce, manufacturing, and export and international trade to bring an entrepreneurial lens that allows him to approach deals and markets with the perspective of an operator rather than a traditional banker. Opting for IBA, University of Dhaka (~1% acceptance) to study finance and economics over renowned western institutions, to be among the final cohort personally instructed by the eminent Dr. Syed Ferhat Anwar—an experience that ultimately shaped the first thesis behind NTC and its focus on the rising South Asia, Southeast Asia, and GCC corridor. He set aside his business school path early to master a fleeting, once-in-a-cycle innovation in institutional deal origination—monetising and refining the model as a standalone practice before integrating it into the art-and-technology framework that now defines NTC. Today, he works alongside a group of highly accomplished senior advisors to build NTC into a premier boutique capital advisory firm connecting frontier-market liquidity with global dealmaking opportunities.
