Individual Buyer in New Delhi Looking to Buyout Businesses Upto INR 1 crore

I have 15 years of experience in the technology industry, currently leading AI teams at a leading FANG company. My domain expertise lies in artificial intelligence, data platforms, and large-scale product development, giving me a strong foundation for identifying businesses that can leverage technology and innovation for growth.
Outside of technology, I have a long-standing involvement in motorsports and racing, which has shaped my approach to performance, discipline, and long-term strategy.
On the investment side, I currently hold positions in the car detailing and heavy equipment (cranes) sectors, and I am actively looking to expand into other industries. My investing style is primarily as a silent partner, providing capital and stability, while allowing business operators to focus on execution. When needed, I can add value through strategic insights, operational perspective, and my professional network. I seek opportunities in businesses with strong fundamentals, clear growth potential, and committed leadership teams.
