Connecting Family-Owned Businesses East to Middle East and West


• India to Middle East and West
• India – Japan (two-way)
• Japan to Middle East and Africa


We bring an independent and practitioner perspective to support family-owned businesses.

We are a unique team of practitioners who offer a range of corporate and risk advisory services. We have over 150 years of combined experience of strategy implementation, business development, corporate leadership and risk management.

We bring together our complementary skills to offer integrated advisory services to help clients preserve capital and create value. Our definition of risk is two-fold: the possibility of loss; and the possibility of missing out on gains.

We bring ideas from different disciplines to see things that others may not see. We believe such creative thinking is critical to identify risk blind spots and/or hidden upside potential.

Our business philosophy is captured in the following quote:
“Breadth of perspective and the ability to connect the proverbial dots is likely to be as important as the depth of expertise and the ability to generate those dots”
(Dr Vikram Mansharamani, Harvard University).

Our Advantages


We provide a bespoke service, which ranges from participation on Advisory Boards to ‘deep-dive’ work. Our focus is on supporting principals and CEOs as trusted advisers/operating partners.

  • We are practitioners. We have invested and managed money as principals. We have managed risks in developing and emerging markets. We can help clients to make better informed decisions based on our breadth and depth of practical experience in normal and abnormal market conditions.
  • We are independent. We provide unbiased advice and solutions without the conflicts that can arise within large firms and have the ability to be sweat equity partners.
  • We have a broad and deep ecosystem for connecting clients with prospective partners and for arranging the provision of wider services where required (‘open architecture’ approach).
  • We combine private equity, capital markets and risk management skills for a more integrated and rigorous approach to capital preservation and value creation.
  • We can help to avoid the risks that can come from over-reliance on a traditional ‘silo’ approach and from the critical biases inherent in many corporate decision-making practices.
