(NASDAQ: EWAVU), a blank-check company that completed its initial public offering on July 31, 2026, issuing 10,000,000 units at $10.00 per share. Parikh was appointed to the board alongside fellow independent directors Irfan Verjee and Masahiro Honna, and he serves on the company's audit committee. According to SEC filings, he acquired 20,000 shares of common stock on August 3, 2026, through a transfer from East West Avenue LLC, the SPAC's sponsor entity. His initial statement of beneficial ownership (Form 3) was filed on June 17, 2026. The company is headquartered at 5725 S Valley View Blvd, Ste 5, #378094, in the Las Vegas area. Parikh was described in the company's S-1 registration statement and on the SPAC's website as having more than two decades of experience in public and private market investments.
Beyond his SPAC board role, Parikh is the Sole Managing Partner and founder of GiantLeap (also referenced as Giantleap LLC), a tech-focused structured growth equity platform he established in 2020 and which is based in New York City. He has also served as Managing Partner at Juna Capital Management since 2020. His career in the startup and investment ecosystem began around 2020 through GiantLeap, and he is described as an entrepreneur and angel investor based in New York. His prior professional experience includes a role at American Management Systems, and he is noted as a British-born consultant who began his career in the United Kingdom advising the aerospace industry before joining a large international consulting firm. He is also the author of several business books, including "The Ultimate Guide to Storytelling in Business: A Proven, Seven-Step Approach To Deliver Business-Critical Messages With Impact" and "The Consultant's Handbook: A Practical Guide to Delivering High-Value and Differentiated Services in a Competitive Marketplace," both published by Wiley. He is also identified as CEO of SPConsulting AB, a global management consultancy with operations spanning 57 countries.
As an angel investor, Parikh's portfolio includes an investment in Virupaksha, an India-based healthcare and life sciences company, where he participated in a Series B funding round of approximately $12.8 million on July 18, 2024, alongside co-investors Chappidi Sudhakar Reddy and Chappidi Sailaja. His investment focus spans healthcare and life sciences, with a geographic emphasis on India. He was educated at the University of Chicago. Parikh's combination of consulting, structured growth equity, and angel investing experience underpins his role as an independent director on the East West Ave Acquisition board, where he contributes public and private market investment expertise to the SPAC's search for a business combination target.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002140899 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
