Our People

The people behind your file.

Every Palladian transaction is handled by people you can name. No call centres, no case queues — a small team, each of whom knows why your structure is the way it is.

Portrait of Mohit Mehra

Mohit Mehra

Founder & Principal Adviser

Mohit began his career at Barclays and built his expertise from the ground up — from branch banking through to private client relationship management. He founded Palladian to serve the clients that mainstream lenders were not designed for: the international buyer with no UK credit footprint, the owner with complex income, the investor acquiring across multiple jurisdictions. Every mandate is led personally from first conversation to completion.

Portrait of Ankur Daru

Ankur Daru

Senior Mortgage & Protection Adviser

Fifteen years spanning retail banking and the London property market give Ankur a precise understanding of what lenders require — and where standard criteria fall short. He has worked extensively with international and portfolio investors, navigating the structural and documentation complexities that cross-border purchases routinely present.

Paul Asare

Senior Mortgage Adviser & Protection Consultant

Twelve years across a range of financial institutions have shaped Paul's approach: no two mandates are identical, and workable solutions are rarely the first one presented. He brings the same methodical rigour to a high-value acquisition in prime central London as to a complex remortgage — structured around the client's position, not the lender's preference.

Bhawna Grover

Mortgage Adviser

A decade in the financial sector has given Bhawna an unusually thorough command of mortgage regulation and product architecture. Her focus is on precision — applications assembled correctly from the outset, with no avoidable delays at the point when timing matters most to the client.

Coco — Head of Client Wellbeing (self-appointed)

In attendance since day one

Coco sits in on most strategy meetings, contributes nothing measurable, and has yet to lose a client. Responsibilities include quality control of the office rug and reminding everyone that not every deadline is a crisis.
