Investment Criteria
Cross-border
We invest in companies that can benefit from a cross-border approach. This can include companies in North America or Europe that seek access to resources in India or other Asian countries, or Indian/Asian companies that seek to sell their goods and services to Western markets.
Sector
We are sector-agnostic provided our companies can benefit from our skillset, network and approach.
Size
We typically only invest in companies that have reached at least $10 million in revenues, with the exception of "platform" investments (see below).
Capital required
Our minimum investment is $15 million, with a preference for an initial investment between $20-40mm. We have access to significant capital resources, and for the right opportunity are prepared to invest up to $300 million in equity.
Growth
We believe that ultimately value is created by companies that develop a track record of profitable growth, and we work with our management teams to develop long-term growth plans.
Platform bets
In select cases, we are prepared to back a management team to buy an identified asset.What we won't do:
- We do not make early-stage venture capital investments.
- We do not make passive investments where we donīt have a Board seat.
- We do not buy assets without having a management team in place that we can back.
