Long Ridge Equity Partners / Long Ridge Capital Management LP

Long Ridge-backed QX Global appoints Vijay Pahuja as CEO

July 21, 2026 press release Manager profile

Summary: Business Wire syndication and citybiz source materials report that Long Ridge-backed QX Global Group appointed Vijay Pahuja as Group Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. The same source package says Pom Chakravarti, who had led QX as CEO since 2024, will remain on the QX Global Board and serve as a senior executive focused on strategic client relationships.

Why it matters: The update may matter to due-diligence readers as a portfolio-company leadership and governance-accountability signal for a Long Ridge-backed business-services platform; it should not be read as evidence of portfolio performance, ownership economics, client outcomes, valuation, exit timing, expected returns, or investment merit.

9AT filing context: Optional ADV/private-fund context maps Long Ridge / Long Ridge Capital Management LP to a New York private-equity adviser/platform record with CRD 163730 / SEC file 801-115107 and about $2.1B reported ADV/private-fund profile scale. Use only for narrow platform identity and background. No 13F/Form 5500 context is recommended for this portfolio-company leadership item.

Summary

Business Wire syndication and citybiz source materials report that Long Ridge-backed QX Global Group appointed Vijay Pahuja as Group Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. The same source package says Pom Chakravarti, who had led QX as CEO since 2024, will remain on the QX Global Board and serve as a senior executive focused on strategic client relationships.

This draft treats the item as a company/press-release-supported leadership update. It does not frame the appointment as independent validation of QX Global, Long Ridge, operating quality, client outcomes, valuation, future growth, expected returns, or investment merit.

Why it matters

For due-diligence readers, the useful signal is a portfolio-company leadership change at a Long Ridge-backed business-services platform. CEO transitions and board-continuity language can help readers track accountability, operating leadership, and governance signals around a private-equity-backed company.

The signal is narrow. The source package supports the appointment, QX Global business description, Long Ridge-backed status, and Pom Chakravarti’s continuing board/senior-executive role. It does not establish transaction economics, Long Ridge fund exposure, ownership percentage, operating performance, client retention, governance quality, exit timing, or suitability.

Source notes

9AT filing context

For identity and platform background only, public adviser records in the data-analyst handoff map the source-facing Long Ridge name to Long Ridge Equity Partners / Long Ridge Capital Management LP, a New York private-equity adviser/platform with CRD 163730 / SEC file 801-115107. The same public-profile context showed about $2.1 billion in reported ADV AUM, about $2.1 billion in total private-fund gross asset value, 27 employees, 14 private funds, and a 2026-03-27 ADV/profile submission date.

That context supports narrow platform identity only. It does not identify the QX Global ownership vehicle, prove that a specific Long Ridge fund controls the company, validate the appointment, establish governance quality, or support conclusions about valuation, operating outcomes, investor demand, expected returns, or suitability.

No 13F or Form 5500 context is included. The item concerns a private portfolio-company leadership announcement rather than public-equity holdings or a retirement-plan/service-provider signal.

What to watch

Watch for QX Global, Long Ridge, regulatory, lender, or company disclosures that clarify governance structure, board composition, management reporting lines, ownership or transaction-vehicle context, and post-appointment operating milestones. Future coverage should keep AI, finance/accounting, recruitment, client, growth, valuation, and performance claims tied to fresh public sources rather than deriving them from the announcement or adviser-profile context.
