Role Overview

We’re hiring Principal to lead investment execution and portfolio development across our core funds :

  • 1 role in Gift City, Gandhinagar for Artha Continuum Fund

Reports to : Managing Partner, Artha Continuum Fund

You’ll be responsible for full-cycle investing, from sourcing and thesis development to diligence, structuring, and post-investment portfolio work.

You’ll lead a team of Associates and Analysts, run internal reviews, and set the bar for research quality and investment judgment.

This is a Partner-track role for professionals ready to own capital, conviction, and execution at a high-performance fund.

What You’ll Lead

  • Build proprietary sourcing pipelines (India and global)
  • Drive founder meetings, diligence, modeling, and IC prep
  • Lead term sheet negotiation, legal closure, and disbursement
  • Portfolio Value Creation

  • Strong deal sheet : you’ve led or co-led 3+ investments end-to-end
  • Experience across sourcing, founder interaction, diligence, and IC presentation
  • Confident communicator—can defend a thesis without overplaying
  • Bonus : operator background, product / strategy experience in a startup
  • Note : Candidates with only investment banking or transaction advisory experience will not be considered.

  • An ownership-first mindset with high performance standards
  • Strong follow-up discipline and pipeline hygiene
  • Experience leading junior team members and upholding execution clarity
  • Sharp financial acumen, cap table intuition, and modeling fluency
