About Artha Group

Artha Group is a performance-led investment house managing over ₹1,250 crores (USD 150M+) across five fund platforms including Artha Venture Fund, Artha Select Fund, and Artha Continuum Fund. Our vertically integrated model spans venture capital, renewable energy assets, and global fund-of-fund structures. With 130+ investments and 30+ successful exits, we operate with discipline, foresight, and long-term conviction.

In a firm where multiple entities, funds, and jurisdictions converge, compliance is not just a support function it’s an institutional safeguard. We are now seeking a Head of Compliance to lead our governance and regulatory operations with precision, velocity, and zero deviation.

Role Overview

As the Head of Compliance , you will lead Artha Group’s enterprise-wide compliance framework across domestic and global fund structures, private entities, LLPs, and investor-facing mandates. This is a senior leadership role best suited for a Company Secretary with a decade of experience and deep familiarity with SEBI-regulated AIFs and fund governance protocols.

Your core responsibility is to protect the firm without slowing its momentum. You will establish robust compliance systems, ensure timely reporting across regulators, elevate risk visibility for leadership, and uphold the integrity of every statutory and investor-facing process. Beyond rule-following, your role is to bring structure, foresight, and credibility to every legal or regulatory interface Artha touches.

Function : Regulatory Compliance | Legal Governance | Risk Mitigation

  • Build and maintain compliant investor journeys - across onboarding, AML / KYC verifications, contribution acknowledgements, demat declarations, and policy undertakings
  • Ensure investor grievance redressal systems are active, audit-logged, and aligned with SEBI expectations

  • Ensure documentation standards across all filings, registers, and submissions are audit-grade, version-controlled, and inspection-ready
  • Maintain governance discipline across digital folders, CLM systems, investor records, and regulatory communications
  • Leadership & Internal Collaboration

  • Build and manage a high-trust compliance team with a reputation for precision, pace, and discretion
  • Serve as the go-to partner for legal, finance, investment, and operations teams - ensuring compliance is embedded in strategy, not isolated from it

  • Who You Are

  • Qualified Company Secretary (CS) with 10+ years of compliance experience, including 4–5 years in SEBI-regulated fund environments
  • Demonstrated expertise in managing governance across complex fund and entity structures both domestic and cross-border
  • Known for building systems that scale and flag risks before they escalate
  • Comfortable representing the firm before auditors, regulators, and statutory bodies with confidence and clarity
  • Exceptional attention to detail, yet grounded in commercial understanding and operational context
  • Proficient with digital compliance systems, workflow trackers, and regulatory documentation management
  • Compensation :
