Nalanda Capital

Vik Pershad, founder and managing partner, runs all investment decisions. He previously worked at Morgan Stanley and Olympus Capital before founding Nalanda in 2007 (per public record).

Nalanda invests exclusively in Indian public equities, targeting mid-cap companies with strong management, high returns on capital, and predictable cash flows. It takes concentrated positions and holds for long periods, often 5–7 years.

Nalanda sources deals through public markets and proprietary research. Vik Pershad and his team identify undervalued Indian companies through fundamental analysis and engage directly with management, often taking board seats.

Nalanda is structured as a single-family office and does not manage capital for third parties. It is registered in Singapore and manages the Pershad family's wealth exclusively.

As a single-family office, Nalanda does not raise external capital for co-investments. It deploys the Pershad family's capital directly into public equities.

Nalanda targets publicly listed mid-cap Indian companies, typically with market caps between $500M and $5B. It does not invest in startups or private companies.

The wealth originates from Vik Pershad's career in investment banking and private equity. He has not disclosed additional wealth sources outside his own earnings (per public record).
