Cyrus Driver, Managing Director, Private Equity Technology, Partners Group, says: "When we invested in Straive in 2017, we aligned upfront with management and the board on a transformation plan. We took Straive's strengths in process automation and content operations and applied them to broader end markets with higher growth, playing into the themes of e-learning and big data. Straive's team has executed exceptionally under Ratan's executive leadership and Vikram's board leadership. The team at Partners Group takes great satisfaction that Straive today is stronger than ever and its best years are still ahead of it."

We have started to see the fruits of investing behind and expanding our addressable markets. We thank Partners Group for their value creation approach, platform building contributions, and financial resources, which have been crucial in transforming our business. We now look forward to working with BPEA on our exciting next chapter."

Vikram Talwar, Chairman of the Board, Straive, says: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate Ratan and the first-rate leadership at Straive for successfully executing an ambitious strategic plan set out by the Board. My fellow Board members have played a valuable role in charting strategic direction and supporting key management initiatives. We believe together with Ratan's team, Straive is now positioned as a leading, future-ready provider of critical content, data, and EdTech platform services. I am confident the business will go from strength to strength under the new ownership."
