Founder, Acting School

Individual Buyer in Tivim, India

Interests: When evaluating a business for investment, acquisition, or advisory services, I focus on several key factors to ensure both growth potential and alignment with my interests: 1. Industry alignment & passion - I am especially passionate about the entertainment and multimedia sector, including film, television, digital content, and emerging media technologies. I look for companies that are innovating in content creation, distribution, or leveraging new platforms to reach audiences. 2. Market position & brand strength - I value businesses with a clear, differentiated brand and a strong position in their market. For entertainment companies, this means a unique creative vision, established intellectual property, or a loyal audience base. 3. Financial health & revenue stability - Strong, transparent financials are essential. I look for consistent revenue growth, healthy profit margins, and robust cash flows. In entertainment, I pay particular attention to recurring revenue streams, such as content licensing or syndication. 4. Growth potential & scalability - I prefer businesses with scalable models and significant room for expansion, whether through new content, geographic reach, or digital transformation. For example, companies embracing streaming, virtual reality, or interactive experiences are especially attractive. 5. Management & creative talent - A talented, visionary leadership team is crucial, especially in creative industries. I look for founders and executives with a track record of innovation and execution. 6. Barriers to entry - I assess whether the company has defensible assets, such as exclusive content rights, proprietary technology, or strong distribution partnerships, that protect it from competitors. 7. Industry trends & consumer behaviour - Understanding how technology and consumer preferences are evolving is vital. I favour companies that are agile and able to adapt to new platforms, monetization models, and audience shifts. Sectors I like: 1. Entertainment & multimedia - Film production, streaming platforms, digital content studios, and gaming companies. 2. Real estate & construction - Residential and commercial developments, especially those tied to lifestyle or hospitality. 3. Travel & tourism - Innovative hospitality brands, experiential travel platforms, and destination management companies. 4. Stocks & financial assets - Publicly listed companies with strong fundamentals in the above sectors. Sectors I avoid: - Businesses lacking transparency or with unclear revenue models. - Companies are overly dependent on a single hit product or trend without diversification. - Sectors facing rapid obsolescence due to technology, unless they have a clear plan for transformation. I am always looking for opportunities where creativity meets commercial viability, and where my passion for entertainment, media, and lifestyle sectors can add value beyond just capital.
Background: I am the founder of an acting school. I am a dynamic entrepreneur, filmmaker, and actor, born in Goa, where my passion for storytelling and business took root. At 10, I assisted my family’s factory making electrical pipes. Travelling to Goa with my father, I honed marketing and sales skills, shaping a 24-year career in entertainment, real estate, sports, insurance, multimedia, publishing, and tax consultancy. From 15 to 20, I worked in my father’s tax consultancy in Mapusa, learning client relations. My love for cinema sparked at 15, watching movies. At 21, in 2000, I joined as a food and beverage trainee, becoming an assistant supervisor. In 2001, I moved to Mumbai to pursue acting and filmmaking but returned to Goa after an accident, working in my father’s business and as an insurance agent. In 2003, I joined an academy, meeting my guru who transformed my career. I debuted in movies and a biopic. From 2004 to 2008, I worked in Bollywood, South Indian, and Konkani films as a junior artist, character actor, and production assistant. From 2005 to 2009, I honed my craft in Mumbai’s TV industry. Trained at an acting studio, I paused my career to support my family. From 2014 to 2017, I worked at Goa’s electricity department. A broken promise of a TV channel role in 2017 fueled my entrepreneurial drive. A call to teach acting led to the founding of my acting and theatre school in 2018 in Porvorim. I mentored actors in Goa, Mumbai, and Vasai, directing a musical in Vasco (2018). In 2019, I moved to Vasai, managing a sports turf during the 2020–2021 lockdown. In 2021, I worked as a translator, which reignited my passion. After another accident, I returned to Goa, launching a social media agency and YouTube channel (2022–2023). In 2024, I completed a filmmaking course at an institute in Bandra, directing and acting in short films. I am the founder of an entertainment and media company, and I am pioneering a global ecosystem for indie and regional cinema. Our tagline reflects a mission to deliver authentic, culturally rich content that fosters pride in Goan and Indian identities while connecting global audiences.

Interests: We are looking for a solar and wind energy farm. We are highly interested in a 230-kilowatt solar power plant in Gradiška, Bosnia. We have completed our initial financial and operational modelling, including a scenario where the business is acquired entirely debt-free by settling the outstanding liabilities. To finalise our investment evaluation and clear up some contradictions, we would appreciate a comprehensive response to the following questions: 1. Financial indicators & profitability breakdown - An annual run-rate sales figure of USD 70,000 with a 20% EBITDA margin. An 80% operational expense rate is unusually high for a solar asset of scale. Seek a detailed breakdown of monthly/annual operational expenses (maintenance, management, licensing, and so on). A 20% EBITDA figure, a typographical error meant to represent the expense margin instead. 2. Land ownership & title deed status - The property structure is leased in the general overview. However, the tangible asset overview explicitly includes land valued at EUR 200,000. Need clarification on whether the land ownership is fully included in the discounted valuation. Additionally, are there any encumbrances, liens, or claims on the land other than the specified bank loan? 3. Bank loan & debt structure details - An outstanding bank loan secured by the plant's assets. What is the current interest rate, remaining maturity, and exact monthly debt service (principal + interest) for this loan? Are there any early repayment penalties, swap break costs, or fees if we decide to settle the entire debt immediately upon acquisition? 4. Power purchase agreement terms - What is the total duration of the long-term off-take arrangement signed with the local utility provider, and how many years are currently remaining on this contract? Furthermore, is the feed-in tariff rate strictly fixed, or is it indexed to inflation or market fluctuations? 5. Documentation request for due diligence - To expedite our evaluation process, please share your standard non-disclosure agreement template. - Upon execution, we would like to request the following documents: Official income statement and balance sheet for the last 2 fiscal years. A copy of the active power purchase agreement. Land title deed registration and the valid concession agreement.
