About Vyas Tungaturti
I am Vyas Tungaturti, an M&A advisor. For nearly two decades I have worked on the execution side of deals: the diligence before signing, and the integration or separation after. I started at Deloitte Consulting (2007 to 2018, engagement manager). In 2018 I went independent, and Big 4 firms now bring me in as a director-level subject matter advisor on buy-side IT, AI/ML and operations diligence, integration offices, divestitures and carve-out separations. I have worked on more than 50 deals, mostly in financial services (banking, insurance, payments, fleet leasing), mainly in the US, UK, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
Work I can describe without naming clients
- Buy-side IT, AI/ML and operations diligence lead for several payments and insurtech deals.
- Integration management office lead for a merger of two leading fleet-leasing companies, over $1 billion, under a private equity owner.
- IT separation and transition services management for a Fortune 500 financial institution selling its $1.5 billion Mexico equipment-finance operations to private equity.
- Divestiture lead for the separation, and sale to private equity, of the real-estate arm of a Fortune 500 insurer.
Since 2018 I have also run CogTech, LLC, where I lead AI and ML diligence on the acquisition of AI-native companies. I also build Kai, an AI platform for M&A due diligence.

Editorial Voice
CorpDev.Org is written for practitioners: corporate development teams at Fortune 500 acquirers, private equity deal principals, due diligence advisors at Big 4 and boutique firms, investment bankers, and operating executives involved in transactions. The editorial voice is direct, practitioner-grade, and unafraid to challenge conventional deal narratives — particularly around value creation claims, synergy modeling, and post-close integration failures.
Articles cover live deal commentary, post-mortems on announced and closed transactions, sector analysis, and methodology. The goal is not to be a newsroom — it is to be the reference a deal team reaches for when they need to think clearly about a specific transaction archetype.
Independent and Unsponsored
CorpDev.Org is independently owned and operated. Articles are not sponsored unless explicitly labeled. The publication accepts no undisclosed compensation from the firms, funds, or companies it covers. Full editorial standards, sourcing methodology, AI-assisted research disclosure, and corrections policy are published at Editorial Standards.
