We work closely with a few handpicked entrepreneurs who we believe are building unique solutions to organise India’s large, unorganised consumption markets. We make concentrated investments in business models with sizable ownership in each of these companies on the back of compelling macroeconomic shifts at play. This focused approach combined with deep operational knowledge, gained over the past 20 years of investing and operating, positions us to drive significant value accretion across our investments. In a world defined by change, the destination may be years away. Hence to navigate it, you need a partner who has seen these moments before. We partner with our companies beyond capital and walk this path alongside them.
