Samarthya Investment Advisors

Jatin Karani leads all investment decisions as Founder & Partner. He previously sourced, evaluated, and negotiated private equity and venture deals at Enam Holdings, one of India's largest single-family offices. The firm's website lists him as responsible for deal origination and portfolio management across all sectors.

The firm uses the phrase 'Founder First' and states that it will connect entrepreneurs to 'transformational capital and domain experts' and 'roll up our sleeves and help you build the venture.' It positions itself as willing to write the first cheque and provide operational guidance through the growth journey, though it does not describe a formal operating-partner program.

Samarthya is structured as an asset manager—a private equity firm—not a single-family office. However, its investment lead Jatin Karani spent his prior career inside Enam Holdings, a prominent Indian family office. The firm's 'Whatever It Takes' philosophy borrows behavioral traits from single-family capital, but it does not publicly identify a single family as the source of its funds.

The firm targets early-stage and growth-stage companies, as indicated by its self-reported strategy. It writes first-cheque commitments and supports later-stage growth, but it does not publish a specific ticket-size range or disclose participation in Series B+ rounds that would serve as lower and upper bounds.

Samarthya invests across seven named sectors: deep-tech and defence-tech, climate-tech, agritech, fintech, B2B/SaaS, health-tech, and consumer. It also lists media and platform as areas of interest, though it has not publicly identified any negative screens or excluded categories.
