About Me

Sarma founded hedge fund SRS Investment Management in 2006 after five years at Chase Coleman's Tiger Global and now manages $10 billion. SRS owns 43% of Avis through common stock and equity swaps, and Sarma has served on the car rental company's board since May 2020. Avis stock surged 456% in 2021, fueled by talk of adding electric vehicles to its fleet, which helped Sarma's flagship fund return 35%.
