Living our values

My grandmother is my inspiration. Not receiving education beyond high school, not fluent in English, and widowed at young age, she met every hardship with curiosity and quiet resolve. Through unrelenting learning and adaptation, she nurtured a flourishing, happy family tree. Her journey embodies the ‘learn, adapt and grow’ mindset. We may not determine our starting line, but—like her—we can keep learning and adapting until we arrive at our dreamed-of destination.

Varunsrinivas' Story

Be it originating deals, analysing businesses or partnering with top-tier management teams to build value, Varun thrives on the breadth and intellectual challenge that private-equity investing offers. A committed investor, he is fuelled each day by the quest for fresh, differentiated perspectives across markets, industries and companies. Away from work, Varun relaxes with a good movie—anything from enduring cult favourites to the latest box-office releases—and enjoys donning the apron beside his fiancée as they experiment with bold new cuisines.
