Group Chairman And Owner, Real Estate Investments

Corporate Acquirer in Montreux, Switzerland

Interests: Factors that I appreciate: - Long term outlook. - Established. - Moderate sustainable opportunity to grow (moderate growth potential) - Family-run B2B businesses. Factors that are not interesting to me: - Businesses less than 10 years old. - Short-term focused. - Large revenues from B2C. - Multiple ownership history.
Background: I am originally from Bangalore, India. But have been living in Switzerland for the past 16 years. I have worked for Fortune 500 clients and top-tier consultancy and BPO companies such as Nestle, Nespresso, Philips, HP, Dell, Bristol Myers Squibb, Accenture, Tech Mahindra, etc. in various roles, industries, and functions (Digital/IT, marketing, procurement, supply chain, operations, including HRIS programs and transformations around Taleo, SuccessFactors, etc), interacting with the C-Suite in many roles. In 2017, my son was diagnosed with a terminal degenerative disease and to raise funds for potential genetic therapy, with my wife (Dutch & Swiss) we set up a company focusing on real estate, hospitality, and digital consulting in Montreux, Switzerland. It's been close to 5 years and the company is very successful and apart from raising the funds needed for my son's genetic therapy, we have equity close to 4 million and are currently funded by UBS, Credit Suisse, Valiant, Bank Migros, and Bank Cler. We have around 13 residential properties in Montreux which are also being rented out to corporate clients. We have a great setup of onsite (Switzerland), nearshore (Hungary), and offshore (India) business teams that work very effectively and efficiently. I'm passionate about people and really find your business listed to be a great fit. I recognize that when a company is this old, it's like a family member or child and I feel that my unique work experience can help to guide this company and potentially expand the company while preserving the values and relationships as much as possible.

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.

Senior Private Secretary, Government Entity

Individual Buyer in London, UK

Interests: When evaluating a business for potential investment, acquisition, or providing advice, I look at several critical factors to assess its viability, growth potential, and overall health. 1. Financial health. First, I examine the company’s financial health. This includes looking at revenue and profitability trends, ensuring that the business has consistent revenue growth and healthy profit margins. I also pay close attention to cash flow—positive cash flow is a strong indicator that the company can sustain its operations and fund future growth. Additionally, I assess the company’s debt levels to ensure it isn’t over-leveraged, as excessive debt can pose significant risks. Finally, I consider the business’s valuation to ensure it’s priced appropriately based on its earnings, assets, and market potential. 2. Market position and competitive advantage. Next, I assess the company’s market position and competitive advantage. I want to understand its market share and whether it’s growing or holding steady. A strong market position is a good sign. I also look for a unique selling proposition (USP) that differentiates the business from its competitors. This is crucial for standing out in a crowded market. Additionally, I evaluate the barriers to entry in the market—high barriers can protect the business from new competitors, which is an important factor in its long-term success. 3. Growth potential. Growth potential is another key factor. I analyze industry trends to ensure the business operates in a growing market, which can significantly increase its chances of success. Scalability is important too; I want to see if the business can expand operations and increase revenue without a corresponding rise in costs. I also consider the company’s innovation pipeline—its ability to innovate and adapt to changing market conditions is essential for sustained growth. 4. Management team. The management team is crucial. I look at their experience and track record to ensure they have the expertise needed to navigate challenges and seize opportunities. It’s also important that the team has a clear vision and strategy for the company’s future. Lastly, I consider the company culture and leadership style—these can greatly impact employee morale and overall performance. 5. Operational efficiency. Operational efficiency is another area of focus. I evaluate the company’s business processes to ensure they are efficient and effective, which can lead to higher profitability. I also assess the robustness of the supply chain, especially if the business relies heavily on external suppliers. The use of technology and automation to streamline operations is another factor I consider, as it can provide a significant competitive edge. 6. Customer base. A strong customer base is critical. I look for high customer satisfaction and loyalty, which indicates that the company’s products or services are well-received. A diverse customer base is also important, as it reduces dependency on a few clients and spreads risk. High retention rates are another positive sign, indicating consistent satisfaction and a steady stream of recurring revenue. 7. Risk factors. Identifying potential risks is essential. I consider regulatory and compliance risks, as non-compliance can lead to significant penalties and damage to the company’s reputation. I also look at market risks, such as economic downturns or changes in consumer behavior, and operational risks within the company, like supply chain vulnerabilities or over-reliance on key personnel. 8. Social and environmental impact. In today’s environment, I also look at the company’s social and environmental impact. This includes its sustainability practices and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Companies that are responsible and have a positive impact on society often enjoy better reputations and stronger customer loyalty, adding to their long-term value. 9. Legal and intellectual property. Legal considerations are also important. I evaluate the company’s intellectual property (IP) portfolio, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as these can provide a significant competitive advantage. I also ensure the business has no outstanding legal issues or potential liabilities that could impact its future. 10. Alignment with personal or corporate goals. Finally, I assess how well the business aligns with my personal or corporate investment strategy, values, and long-term goals. It’s also important to decide how much control and involvement I want to have in the business operations post-investment or acquisition. By thoroughly evaluating these factors, I can make informed decisions on whether to invest in, acquire, or advise a business, ensuring that it aligns with my objectives and has strong potential for success.
Background: As a retired senior private secretary and former british diplomat, I carry a wealth of experience in navigating complex political and trade landscapes. At 41, I now focus on prudent investments that align with my vision for economic growth.
