About Artha Group & Artha Prime Fund

Artha Group is a performance-led investment house managing over ₹1,250 crores (USD 150M+) across venture capital, private equity, and cross-stage strategies. Our fund platforms include :

  • Artha Venture Fund - Early-stage VC (B2C, mobility, fintech, B2B SaaS)
  • Artha Continuum Fund - Cross-stage investing across India + global markets
  • Artha Select Fund - Follow-on capital into top-performing portfolio winners
  • Artha Quest Fund - India’s first search fund platform for operator-led buyouts
  • Artha Prime Fund - A new public market fund focused on pre-IPO and micro-cap equities

Artha Prime Fund invests in promoter-backed companies with real fundamentals and asymmetric upside - before the rest of the market catches on. This is where deep diligence, capital judgment, and non-obvious sourcing create outsized returns.

Role Overview

We’re hiring a Principal to lead research, investment execution, and team building for the Artha Prime Fund. This role demands a sharp eye for financial edge, an instinct for underpriced companies, and the ability to build and lead from Day 1.

You’ll be :

  • Hunting down overlooked pre-IPO and microcap opportunities
  • Interfacing with listed company promoters and management teams
  • Leading a team of analysts to dig deep into numbers, risk, and catalysts
  • Presenting conviction-based investment memos to the IC
  • Traveling on-site to validate businesses and triangulate the truth
  • This is a high-conviction, high-upside role with a clear path to Managing Partner. If you’re a CA or finance-first investor with grit, speed, and intuition—this is your platform.

    Key Responsibilities

    Investment Sourcing & Screening

  • Build a live pipeline of overlooked public market opportunities
  • Develop thesis-driven ideas based on mispricing, governance, or hidden catalysts
  • Leverage promoters, brokers, filings, and forums to identify leads
  • Research, Diligence & Modeling

  • Tear down balance sheets and cash flow statements - look for where the bodies are buried
  • Conduct site visits, distributor calls, and product testing to go beyond the PDF
  • Run red flag analysis : auditor notes, related-party deals, and shareholding movements
  • IC Preparation & Portfolio Management

  • Present sharp, quantified investment cases to internal IC and LPs
  • Track target prices, performance milestones, and exit timelines
  • Continuously re-evaluate conviction based on price movement + new info
  • Team Leadership & Execution Clarity

  • Manage and mentor 1 - 3 analysts or interns
  • Enforce rigorous timelines, follow-up cadence, and reporting hygiene
  • Build internal tracking systems and dashboards before you’re asked to
  • Candidate Profile

  • 8 - 12 years in equity research, public market investing, or pre-IPO diligence
  • Demonstrated experience interacting with listed promoters or public market boards
  • Strong grip on financial statements, forensics, and market timing
  • Must be a Chartered Accountant (CA) or show equivalent financial depth
  • Ability to work fast, travel often and chase clarity through complexity
  • Low ego, clear writing, and ownership-first mindset
  • This is not a back-office research role.

    This is an on-ground, truth-hunting investor role - built for someone who thrives on accountability and action.

    Compensation Structure

  • ₹36,00,000 fixed annual salary
  • ₹4,00,000 confirmed annual retention bonus (paid after 12 months)
  • ₹5,00,000 ESOP grant (as per vesting policy)
  • Performance bonuses based on fund and role KPIs
  • Carry participation in Artha Prime Fund (shared at the offer stage)
  • Fixed comp is non-negotiable.

    All upside is earned via performance, reporting, and results.

    Incomplete or blank answers to any question = automatic disqualification.
