Suhail Rizvi, an enigmatic India- born investor, has emerged as one of the biggest gainers from Twitter’s high-profile public debut with his 15.6 per cent stake in the microblogging site worth a whopping $3.8 billion.

Mr. Rizvi is the “non-boldface name of the moment”, a report in the New York Times said, describing him as a “strategic power

broker who prefers to operate behind the scenes.’’ The 47-year-old has remained a mystery in the Silicon Valley despite his significant tech investments in recent years. He runs a private investment company Rizvi Traverse Management, the largest outside investor in the microblogging site with a 15.6 per cent stake worth $3.8 billion at the end of trading on Twitter NYSE debut on Thursday.
