AMRINDER SAINI
Managing Director and Head of PPPs
at Agentis Capital
AMRINDER SAINI leads a multi-o昀케ce team of Directors,
Vice-Presidents, Associates, and Analysts across complex Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mandates, infrastructure M&A,
and debt advisory assignments. Over 17 years of professional
experience—12 of which have been dedicated to infrastructure
and PPPs—he has raised and closed more than $11 billion in
debt 昀椀nancings for landmark infrastructure projects across
North America. His extensive background spans both sides of
the deal table, including sponsor-side experience at HOCHTIEF
PPP Solutions and 昀椀nancial advisory at Agentis Capital. Holding
a BBA with Honors and an MBA with Distinction from the
Schulich School of Business at York University, as well as a CFA
designation, Amrinder has consistently pushed the infrastructure 昀椀nancing market into new territory through innovative
capital structuring.
Throughout his career, Amrinder has served as the deal lead
on major consortia mandates for transformative capital builds,
including the New Ontario Science Centre, Ontario Line Southern Civil, Broadway Subway Extension, Purple Line LRT, and
the Fargo-Moorhead Flood Diversion. His creative approaches
have led to pioneering 昀椀nancial models, such as executing
a semi-wide equity model for the Ontario Science Centre
relocation—the 昀椀rst of its kind under Infrastructure Ontario
procurements—and leading a USD 2B+ debt restructuring for
the Purple Line LRT. On the Fargo-Moorhead Area Diversion,
he structured a complex capital stack featuring a USD 642.6M
revolving credit facility, a delay-draw private placement, and
tax-exempt Private Activity Bonds (PABs) with embedded future
re昀椀nancing value, earning the project a Green Financing designation and enabling the consortium to close ahead of schedule.
Amrinder’s advisory work has earned extensive industry
recognition, including P3 Awards Future Leader of the Year
in 2022, as well as Financial Advisor of the Year honors from
the P3 Awards (2024), Proximo Awards (2023), and IJGlobal
(2022). Beyond transaction execution, he acts as an essential
extension of his clients’ teams, facilitating close alignment
with design-build contractors, O&M providers, and regulatory
advisors to optimize outcomes. A committed mentor, Amrinder
built Agentis Capital’s internal PPP training modules, conducts
regular whiteboarding sessions, and curates an international
library of precedent transactions to develop the next generation
of 昀椀nancial leaders. An active participant in broader industry
associations and conference panels, he remains dedicated to
advancing best practices and advocating for the value of PPP
delivery models nationwide.
