Professional Summary
I am an individual investor with 18+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, Lean/Six Sigma, and supply chain across the automotive, aerospace, pharma, and industrial sectors. I am looking to acquire and personally improve a small, profitable operating business in the Tamil Nadu, Hosur, Krishnagiri, and Bengaluru industrial belt, ideally where process and quality improvements can help increase margins. I am based in Germany and visit Tamil Nadu frequently for site visits and meetings.

Investment Criteria
- I prioritize verifiable financials over headline growth stories — GST returns and bank statements that reconcile to what's claimed, not just a seller's projection.
- I look for EBITDA margins of 15%+, no single customer above 30% of revenue, and a business that's actually operating (not dormant, not "ready to launch").
- I favor businesses where hands-on operational and quality-process improvement can genuinely lift margins — that's where my background adds value, not just capital.
- I like: light manufacturing with a real distribution network, industrial consumables and B2B supply tied to a growing manufacturing cluster, and service businesses with recurring contracts — staffing, calibration/testing, quality-audit, laundry — where demand is driven by nearby factories rather than by trend.
- I am also a good fit for owner-operators nearing retirement with no succession plan in place — I can step in as an operating buyer, keep the business running with continuity for staff and customers, and give the founder a clean, well-managed exit rather than a fire sale. My network across Europe and Germany can also open export or supplier links for the right business.
- I dislike: businesses whose "profit" depends on a single person's trading or speculative skill rather than a repeatable process (profit-sharing trading schemes, unverified high-return claims); dormant or pre-revenue businesses priced as if they were going concerns; single-customer or single-relationship businesses dressed up as diversified; and sectors outside my operating expertise — hospitality/nightlife — where I'd be a passive check-writer, not an active improver.
- I generally prefer full acquisition or a majority stake with real governance rights over minority positions, and I'd rather walk from an attractive multiple than skip verification to move fast. -
