Business is about expanding horizons !
We are a Family Office creating and investing into businesses we like. We aim to:
Our DNA - Transform Ideas into Institutions
Innovation and partnership are the cornerstones of our approach. We are willing to incubate and grow businesses on our own or in partnership and we are willing to invest, on our own and with/through our partners into businesses which create tangible values.
Innovation is in our DNA and we bring to the table a repertoire of business insights, foresight and structural ingenuity along with a keen understanding of how money works effectively to bolster and enhance businesses where we get involved.
Our Vision - Touch lives with Integrity and Ingenuity
Our Philosophy
Direct investments refer to sector agnostic multi-jurisdictional multi-format investments. Investments can take the form of equity, preferred stock, private debt or a combination to achieve the desired results. We are not averse to greenfield or start ups. Incubation stage investments for exceptional projects/products are within our interest areas.
Typically we will prefer to have Board positions and rights on certain consensus matters. Preferred IRR depends on sector and geography and we prefer to have a well diversified investment approach. We also bring the flexibility of engaging into either short term opportunistic investments or medium to long term growth investments.
Indirect investments refer to investments made through Funds. Such Funds are typically preferred to be either VC Funds or Hedge Funds. The focus here is to provide capital sponsorship to eclectic Fund Managers with proven track record or with proven professional excellence in appropriate segments of the financial services industry.
Fund Managers can be provided desired autonomy based on our evaluation criteria; however, based on sector and experience of the Fund Manager, we may require presence in strategic decision making and as part of the Investment Committee.
Capital Sponsorship to established Founders, HNIs and Business Houses for growth, acquisition & expansion under tenets of Collaborative Investments.
Under collaborative investment model, the existing available liquid investible corpus can be augmented through additional capital sponsorship to enhance the chest for development, acquisition and generic growth requirements.
In simple terms, where there is a viable project and the Founder Group is willing to commit a certain minimum amount of capital, we are willing to respond by matching such amount or more, based on merits of the case and our appetite in such point in time.
Capital Sponsorship to start up Funds or small/mid-cap Funds to augment the Fund corpus independently sourced by Fund Managers.
Applicable for select hand-picked Fund Managers under a unique Global Multi-Fund Platform.
The evaluation criteria is based on consideration of Fund Manager profile, investment thesis and vision and under the fundamental requirement of such Fund Managers embracing the processes and protocols of the Platform.
Under this platform, whilst Fund Managers source investors through their own sources (network), we provide augmentation of such corpus. The cumulative draw-down by Fund Manager through other LPs (investors sourced by Fund Manager) can be matched by us under a 1:1 ratio, thus doubling the fund corpus for the Fund Manager.
Capital Sponsorship to effectively tap into the multitude of exceptional opportunities in India.
The potential of the Indian economy is well known and investing into Indian opportunities is an integral part of our long term growth strategy.
Currently investments in India will be mainly through partnership with a SEBI regulated Category 1 AIF (Alternative Investment Fund) styled as WORLD 5 to tap into Indian opportunities with a focus on food, agriculture, automotive mobility, logistics, hospitality, technology etc.
