The Shikhara India Vantage Equity Fund seeks to deliver long-term growth through capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities and equity-related securities of leading companies domiciled in or that conduct a significant portion of their economic activity in India. The strategy aims to generate superior returns by pursuing a GARP (growth at reasonable price) approach across sectors.
India’s investment landscape presents compelling multi-decade growth potential, driven by favourable demographics, digital transformation, and the country’s emergence as a global manufacturing and services hub. The fund provides exposure to high-growth opportunities across sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials, financials, and healthcare, while identifying tomorrow’s market leaders through rigorous on-the-ground research and active management.
Led by Founder & CIO Rahul Chadha and a seasoned team with over 130 years of combined Asian market experience, Shikhara draws on global insights from offices in New York, Hong Kong, and Mumbai. Our philosophy emphasizes long-term Investment horizon, innovative management teams, and ESG improvers to identify sustainable alpha generation opportunities. With a focus on business quality, valuation discipline, and downside protection, the fund aims to outperform the MSCI India benchmark across cycles.
