Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at OAKS Asset Management?
Kenneth Serrao serves as Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer, overseeing investment decisions. The firm operates as an independent, partner-owned manager with four co-founders — CEO Vishal Ootam, MD Vivek Anand PS, CFO Sandeep Somani, and CIO Serrao — forming the core leadership group.
How does OAKS source proprietary deal flow?
OAKS sources deals through what it trademarks as Connected Capital — a deliberate network of Indian business families and entrepreneurs cultivated over two decades. This collective model surfaces proprietary opportunities in India's consumer sector, a posture the firm claims differentiates its access from traditional auction processes.
Is OAKS Asset Management structured as a family office?
No. OAKS is an independent, partner-owned private equity firm, not a single-family office. It manages third-party capital and does not disclose a relationship to any single wealth origin or family balance sheet.
Does OAKS participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
OAKS makes direct investments into Indian consumer companies across early-stage, growth, turnaround, and pre-IPO stages. The firm also manages a public equities strategy through Director Abhinav Sharma, indicating dual exposure to both private and listed Indian equities.
What investment stages does OAKS target?
The firm covers a wide range: early-stage and venture, growth equity, turnarounds, and pre-IPO rounds. This coverage allows it to back consumer businesses at multiple points in their lifecycle, though its primary lens remains mid-market private equity in India.
