RB Investments

RB Investments was founded in 2014 to manage the wealth of Rajesh Bothra, whose business interests span hospitality, real estate, electronics, and mining. The family office is run by his son Harshavardhan (Harsh) Bothra and business partner Piyush Jain. The underlying capital derives from Bothra's ownership of Kobian and a portfolio of diversified operating assets across Asia and Europe. The firm pursues seed through Series B investments in internet, consumer, and technology companies, principally across India and Southeast Asia. It structures exposure through direct co-investments and SPVs, fund commitments, and a stream of secondaries and special-situations deals. Asset-class activity extends to private equity, real estate, and publicly disclosed direct startup stakes. The geographic footprint includes Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The team's known co-investment network includes Deepak Mishra, a partner on the Suntec City property and other real estate vehicles. Piyush Jain serves as the firm's principal and also co-founded portfolio company ImpactGuru, a healthcare crowdfunding platform. Harsh Bothra has since transitioned out of a day-to-day partnership role to launch FounderBank Capital. Rajesh Bothra, the wealth originator, was declared bankrupt in Singapore in February 2021, a restructuring event that inevitably reshaped the family's investment governance. The office maintains a real-asset footprint that includes a Sentosa Cove residence, a stake in the Suntec City mixed-use complex at 7 Temasek Boulevard, a Swiss hospitality asset via Hotel du Parc Baden AG, Swiss holding company Benu Holding AG, London commercial property through London Real Estate and Consultancy Limited, a commercial premises in Surat, India, and an investment trust vehicle registered in the Cook Islands. The family office operates as a nimble proprietary book embedded within a broader operating-company and real-asset ecosystem—not an institutionalized multi-family platform. Its structural distinction lies in the tight overlap between family operating assets, a venture portfolio spread across two generations, and a secondaries practice that absorbs liquidity events from the family's own ecosystem. Philanthropic capital runs through the Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital and the Sanskar India Foundation, structurally separated from the investment entities.
