Prosperity,
Sustained Growth & Trusteeship

Overview: Our Approach at Srinidhi

There are three fundamental tenets that underlie our philosophy and product.

We aim to build sustainable relationships
We believe in prosperity that is sustainable over the long term for all stakeholders.
We believe a sustainable investment is one that is anchored in mutual trust between all stakeholders.
We believe stakeholder capitalism that is rooted in the philosophy of trusteeship will secure an alignment of interests amongst all stakeholders, which in turn will maximize returns on investment and sustainability of those returns in the longer term.
PROSPERITY

An investment strategy must aim at growth and financial prosperity that is sustainable over the long term for all the stakeholders involved. A sustainable win-win situation for all parties involved must be the goal of a sound investment.

SUSTAINED GROWTH

Trust is a very valuable economic commodity that can be leveraged for achieving sustained financial growth and prosperity. Acting out of trust creates a stable business environment that leads to financial prosperity for everyone.

TRUSTEESHIP

Changing from our current macro-philosophy of self-interested economics to a philosophy of trusteeship is pragmatic and possible. In fact Trusteeship philosophy is more in tune with human nature than self-interested economics.

Overview: The Indian Market

India, with its stable democratic government, strong GDP growth, increasing per capita disposable income, and favorable age demographics, presents high growth investment opportunities. India continues to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Further, the Government has proactively implemented several key structural and regulatory reforms that benefit GDP growth and welcome foreign investments. Among emerging markets, India has proven to be the shining light

High Growth 

Backed by a historically strong and potentially growing GDP, increasing per capita annual disposable income and favorable age demographics, Indian business enterprises that are family owned and professionally managed present an attractive investment opportunity to fund growth capital that will yield sustainable fixed returns and equity upside over 5-7 years. At Srinidhi, we are well positioned and networked with premier Indian business families to identify and capitalize on such potential opportunities to fund growth capital.

Investment Advisory Services

At Srinidhi, we provide comprehensive business and investment advisory services to long standing mid-market Indian business enterprises and to India focused funds based in the US, Canada and Mauritius. With decades of experience in managing and advising private equity investments in India, and with long-standing relationships of trust with several Indian business families, Srinidhi offers to yield sustainable returns on medium to long-term investments.

We have highly experienced experts who understand the intricacies of family owned Indian businesses and the methods and structures of western style private equity funds. Using our unique combination of expertise, experience and relationships we carefully identify, vet and structure investments and provide ongoing advisory services to optimize risk and return for the stakeholders.
