Investment Approach

We invest based on three criteria – Business Potential, People and Fair Value

We want to be a partner of choice for exceptional management teams running great businesses. We enjoy the process of investing and helping companies reach their potential. In the process we want to generate best in class returns for our investors.


Business Potential   People   Fair Value

We assess business potential using two simple measures: Is the sector within which your business operates attractive? Can your company become one of the leaders within its sector? While assessing your business potential, we also evaluate our own ability to help you grow your company faster.

Our experience has shown us that the ability of the investor and management team to work together on a long-term basis is critical to the success of a venture. Our most successful partnerships have managed to endure through periods of stress and adversity. We prefer working with teams who we can complement with our skills and with whom we can sustain a long-term partnership.

Our entrepreneurial mindset helps us appreciate the value of businesses even if they are ahead of their time or in sectors that are not fashionable. We also invest our own capital alongside our investors, which empowers us above most of our peers. This combination has consistently helped us meet the expectations of our entrepreneurs, as well as create best in class returns for our investors.

Our partners will testify that our process is refreshingly different and reflects the joy we derive from our work. We treat every opportunity as a potential investment. The process is designed keeping in mind a typical entrepreneur’s requirements.

  1. Empowered: When you meet any of us, you meet an individual fully empowered to make an investment decision. There are no hidden decision makers.
  2. Knowledgeable: Our multi-sector experience and research orientation allows us to evaluate opportunities with a high level of preparedness.
  3. Empathetic: We are entrepreneurs ourselves. We can often see your business opportunity like you do.
  4. Timely and Flexible: Our independence empowers us to turn around things faster than the average firm.
