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: - Strong market position: I prefer businesses with a competitive edge and clear market differentiation, particularly those operating in densely populated areas where demand is consistent. Pharmacies, for example, should be in high-traffic locations, near complementary businesses like dental clinics, gyms, or hypermarkets, ensuring steady foot traffic and customer reliance. - Scalability potential: I am drawn to businesses that have a clear path for growth—whether through adding new product lines, expanding into new locations, or increasing online presence. Businesses in retail healthcare, such as pharmacies, that can scale through digital platforms (example - online medicine delivery) are especially appealing. - Financial health & cash flow: A strong track record of financial stability is essential. I look for businesses with positive cash flow, efficient cost management, and a clear strategy for reinvestment. I am cautious of businesses with erratic revenue streams or unclear financial structures. - Customer relationships & loyalty: Businesses that prioritize customer satisfaction and build strong, long-term relationships stand out. Repeat business, corporate clients, and robust customer feedback are key indicators of future growth. I particularly value businesses in sectors like healthcare, where trust and service quality directly impact customer retention. - Online and digital presence: A well-established presence on online platforms for customer engagement and sales is critical. In the healthcare space, especially for pharmacies, this can drive both visibility and revenue through convenience services like online orders and delivery. Businesses I like: - Retail healthcare, including pharmacies and clinics, due to the consistent demand for healthcare services. - F&B businesses in high-demand areas, particularly those with plans for scalability. Businesses I Dislike: - High-risk ventures with volatile markets or those overly reliant on seasonal demand, such as niche luxury goods. - Businesses lacking a clear growth strategy or operating in highly saturated markets with little room for differentiation.
Background: I am the owner of 2 successful pharmacies operating for 2 years in Doha, Qatar. With over 12 years of experience in the Qatar retail market, I have developed in-depth domain knowledge in pharmacy operations, customer relations, product sourcing, and business growth strategies. Both pharmacies are strategically positioned in high-demand, densely populated areas, serving a diverse customer base that includes both walk-in customers and corporate clients. I maintain a strong presence on major online platforms, enhancing accessibility and driving additional revenue through digital sales channels. In my role as an entrepreneur, I have focused on creating value through exceptional customer service, fostering long-term relationships, and leveraging digital tools to increase visibility and sales. My expertise spans managing financials, scaling operations, and establishing a solid foothold in competitive environments. - How I can help businesses grow: I bring valuable insights into the healthcare and retail pharmacy sectors, particularly in high-traffic locations, helping businesses target sustainable and scalable customer bases. With extensive experience in customer relationship management, I can assist businesses in cultivating long-term, loyal customer relationships. I can also advise on expanding businesses through online platforms and enhancing digital presence to increase visibility and profitability. My practical knowledge in cash flow management, cost control, and maintaining healthy profit margins can guide businesses toward financial stability and growth.

Investor, Growth & Marketing Strategist, Investment, Business & Marketing Growth

Individual Buyer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Interests: Looking to buy profitable businesses with existing team in place running the business. Objective is to grow, acquire, merge or integrate with businesses that have the potential to grow three to five times in three years.
Background: Looking to be Acquired? Need an Investor? Want a Growth Partner? As the Investor & Chairman of Stellar Business Growth, I acquire, invest, sell and grow companies that are profitable or have the potential to grow 3X to 5X or more within a short time. My goal is straightforward… to help serious business owners to either: - Sell Their Company, through mergers & acquisitions, OR. - Grow their business by 3X to 5X and more within 12 to 36 months by helping them generate more clients, close more sales and increase their overall revenue and profits… quickly and inexpensively, OR. - Do both, grow their company and make them ready for sale at 3X to 5X and more their initial value. If you’re interested in selling your business now or making it ready for sale by adding an extra $500,000 or more to your bottom-line revenue over the next 12 months… without selling more time for money… then I can help you. I and my team specialize in acquiring and selling profitable companies and for those who are not yet ready to be sold or acquired, I help them in increasing their revenues and profits with tried, tested & proven sales and marketing strategies that flat-out work. As an entrepreneur and business owner since 2003, I built multiple businesses worth Millions of Dollars and currently still oversee Purchasing & Procurement Center – an Industry Leader and Authority in the B2B procurement trainings and certifications. In 2018, I started by slowly investing in others companies and currently have stakes in about half a dozen companies where I consult to grow their revenues so that to make them ready for an outright sale or public listing. One of them has grown by 15X in revenues ($2.5 Million) & 25X in valuation ($6.2 Million) for the past 3 years with a view to sell or list it in the next 2 to 3 years. I add 1 to 2 companies per year in my portfolio so that to ensure close attention to their growth. My core expertise apart from buying and selling companies, is in strategic sales and marketing growth. Regardless of where you are in your revenue growth, I can (almost) virtually guarantee that in any business I’ll find $500,000 or more in revenue growth within 12 months and more than $1 Million beyond 12 months. My hands-on and ‘on the trenches’ experience has helped me develop the skills to quickly and effectively teach business owners how to successfully apply the right strategies in the right order that allows them to grow their business to its maximum capacity. My team has spent more than 10 years and $2 million dollars developing the world’s first E-Learning Marketing System – currently being used by more than 5000 small business clients in 50 countries around the world to grow their business to multi-million dollar status and beyond. It’s considered by many of the world’s top business professionals to be the most powerful client attraction program available anywhere today. If I can’t invest in a company right-away, but decide that it has great growth potential, I engage through an equity consulting stake, where I help business owners create competition-crushing marketing. I begin this process by exposing the flaws in marketing that almost all small business owners fall prey to and explain why these flaws are stifling the growth of all business owners today. In addition, my team has developed numerous training programs for business owners who prefer a do-it-yourself model. Each video lesson provides a step-by-step approach that enables any business to instantly produce more leads, close more sales and see a dramatic increase in revenue and profits. This Business Growth model is perfectly positioned to help business owners realize their dream of creating their own multi-millions dollar business and make it ready for sale to the highest bidder. Or keep the business for its generous cashflow supporting a lifestyle of personal and financial freedom and independence.
