Nitin is based at Antony Batty London. He joined us in June 2024 as a Partner when Antony Batty & Company merged with B&C Associates. Nitin was at B&C for 18 years and for 23 years before that with large firms in various positions, including Partner.
Nitin’s main role is talking to business people who need help. It is therapy for them, and as he points out his first name, in Sanskrit, means the “master of right path” and the second “astrologer.”
He is routinely called in by professional intermediaries, accountants, lawyers, corporate finance boutiques and serial entrepreneurs, all working to help their financially distressed clients. Nitin admires people who risk their wealth and, often, their health, to create something out of sheer entrepreneurship.
Interesting cases Nitin has dealt with
Nitin’s first insolvency case was a pig farmer in Pocklington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. By the time he arrived from his office in Baker Street, the farmer had branched out in to making caravans! As Nitin says, “there in one moment was a perfect example of mental agility, resourcefulness, creativity and an overriding ambition to achieve something.”
Nitin studied for a law degree, before short spells in accountancy at Central Middlesex Hospital, and then as a credit manager at Allied Irish Bank, before finding his way into the insolvency profession, where he has stayed ever since.
Away from work, culture, politics, history and philosophy are just four things that Nitin is interested in. Music, however, is a particular passion, with Bob Dylan, Santana, Dire Straits and Fleetwood Mac (post Peter Green) being particular favourites. And finally, he loves International Films, The Batman TV series and Captain Scarlet.
