For business owners
A long-term partner for your business.
You spent years building it. A long-term partner to Indian businesses. Not a fund. No exit date. Your name, your people and your culture stay yours.
Is this right for you?
Owners usually talk to us when one of these is true
You think in decades
You want a partner who is still there in ten years, not one counting down to an exit.
You want to keep what makes it yours
The name, the team and the way you treat customers matter to you, and should not change.
You want a sounding board
Someone patient to think through the big decisions with you, without taking them away from you.
You are early, with a strong idea
The business has early revenue and a clear idea of where it is going.
Not a fund
No fund life. No exit date.
Ask any partner how long they plan to stay. Our answer: for the long term.
- Time horizon
- A fixed term
- What it wants
- A quick return
- Your name
- Often changed
- Who runs it
- Whoever the fund picks
Working together
What stays the same
What stays
- Your company name and brand
- Your leadership team and employees
- Your office and plant
- Your customers' and suppliers' terms
How we work
- Patience: decisions made on a long view, not a quarterly one
- Plain language: what we agree is written down, simply
- Privacy: what you share with us stays with us
Getting started
Four steps, with no surprises
- Step 1
First call
An hour, on the phone or in person, to understand what you want for the business and for yourself. If we are not a fit, we say so on the call.
- Step 2
NDA
We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share anything sensitive.
- Step 3
Getting to know you
We meet your team, walk the floor and listen before suggesting anything.
- Step 4
Agree how we work together
In plain language and in writing, before any work starts.
Before the first call
Nothing to prepare. When you are ready, this helps
A short history
How the business started, what it does best and who its main customers are.
Where it is today
A rough picture of revenue and the team. Management accounts are fine.
What you want
For yourself, your family and your team. This shapes how we work together more than anything else.
Confidential
Thinking about what's next for your business?
A conversation commits you to nothing, and it stays between us.
