The firm deploys capital across public equities, private markets through direct investments and funds, operating subsidiaries, and internally incubated projects. It functions as venture builder, operator, and strategic investor, underwriting both equity placements and fund commitments. Geographic reach spans Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Oceania, and South America. Confirmed technology focuses include AI/ML, cybersecurity, and ESG. No specific portfolio companies or dated transactions appear in public materials. Ziad Fares serves as Chief Executive Officer. The team includes Anirudh Anjakulath as Chief Operations Officer and Karthik Subramanyan as Executive Director of Investments. No additional offices are disclosed. No recent operational events from the last 24 months are recorded in available sources. The firm maintains a hybrid structure that combines ownership of local operating assets with global allocation authority on behalf of a single principal. This setup allows direct execution of special projects from ideation through independent operation without external fund structures.
