AMR International supports Oman Investment Fund's $125m acquisition of Nimbus Communications

Nimbus Communications Limited is India’s leading sports and entertainment rights business. It has a business mix of media, entertainment and sports, focusing in particular on television, sports broadcasting, motion pictures and digital content.

AMR’s media experience was a strong starting point for this assignment. We then combined interviews on the ground in India and further afield with industry analysis to assess the business. We leveraged our extensive experience in India and the global reach of our international team and offices to assess opportunities in international sports rights and to analyse the film industry and benchmark it against other countries.

AMR’s industry research and analysis highlighted Nimbus Communications Limited as a well managed business with strong growth potential, particularly in sports rights management. Following AMR’s recommendations Oman Investment Fund led the $125m investment in Nimbus Communications Limited, with 3i and Cisco
investing alongside.

“AMR provided excellent support on this complex deal by understanding the business quickly and getting underneath the skin of rights management in sport and movies. This helped us to improve our understanding of Nimbus and gave us real insight to the key issues.” Vijai Gill, Oman Investment Fund
