SoftBank Vision Fund’s Deep Nishar to leave firm by year-end

Deep Nishar, a senior managing partner at SoftBank Vision Fund, said he is leaving the firm at the end of the year.

Bloomberg was the first to report on his exit earlier this month.

Nishar made the announcement through a LinkedIn post on Monday.

“I will bid adieu to my amazing team and colleagues at the end of this year. With much gratitude for the honour and privilege of serving the SoftBank family,” he said in a Twitter post.

“Deep played an important role in hiring and mentoring employees, advising our founders, and overseeing our investing activities in enterprise, frontier tech and health tech,” Rajeev Misra, chief executive officer of SoftBank Investment Advisers was quoted as saying by Bloomberg on Monday.
