Refractory Material Investors

Interests: Factors I look for and what I like: 1. Cheap entry multiples — I am looking for businesses at cheap EBITDA multiples. 2. EV/Revenue. The valuation gap is where value lives. 3. Margin expansion plays — Buying at 10-15% EBITDA and scaling to 20-28% through operational fixes, not just revenue growth. 4. Defensible customer bases — Government contracts, long-term B2B relationships, high switching costs (like AS9100 certifications, regulatory compliance moats). Recurring revenue is king. 5. Asset-light or capex-sunk — Either I don't need to reinvest heavily, or the hard capex is already done and I just need to optimize. 6. Consolidation targets — Small, fragmented sectors (staffing, logistics, compliance, packaging) where I can roll up 3-5 similar operators. 7. B2B over B2C — Sticky, predictable, less marketing burn. 8. Tier 1-2 businesses — Not turnarounds with existential risk, but operational improvements I can actually execute. What I do not like: 1. High multiples (1.5x EV/Revenue) — Too much of the upside is already priced in. 2. Commodity businesses with no defensibility — Race-to-the-bottom on pricing. 3. Heavy capex ongoing — Want to deploy capital to growth, not maintenance. 4. Founder-dependent — Need businesses that can scale without the original operator. 5. Consumer businesses — Too volatile, too marketing-heavy. 6. Sweet spot: USD 500K–8M revenue, 15%+ margins (or clear path to it), India-based manufacturing or B2B services.

Interests: We are driven by a unique set of factors that guide our investment choices. One key aspect we keenly look for is businesses with existing ownership but lacking the necessary team to lead them effectively.

Moreover, we actively seek out distressed companies in search of solutions, viewing challenges as opportunities for revitalization.
