Job description

About Artha Group

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

  • Artha Venture Fund (AVF) : India-focused sector-specific early-stage fund
  • Artha Continuum Fund (ACF) : Cross-stage investing across India and global markets
  • Artha Select Fund : Follow-on capital into top-performing portfolio companies

With 130+ companies backed and 30+ exits, we operate with conviction, founder alignment, and execution speed. Our investors include top Indian family offices and global UHNIs.

Role Overview

We’re hiring one mid-level Associates to lead portfolio execution across ACF. This is not a sourcing-first role. We want someone who’s already managed companies, handled founder complexity, and can turn data into insight—and insight into action.

You will :

  • Own 8–12 active portfolio companies, reporting directly to a Principal
  • Run KPI tracking, quarterly reviews, and intervention planning
  • Lead analysts focused on data quality, financial performance, and board-ready reporting
  • Support AOP reviews, follow-on round preparation, and founder-side support
  • Help turnaround underperforming companies or flag red flags early
  • This is a Partner-track role for a portfolio operator, not a pipeline hunter.

    What You’ll Lead

    Portfolio Oversight & Value Creation

  • Lead structured monthly and quarterly reviews across 8–12 active companies
  • Track KPIs across revenue, org design, GTM execution, hiring, and cash flow
  • Collaborate with founders to build or challenge AOPs and hiring plans
  • Flag underperformance early, and recommend interventions to the Principal
  • Support downstream rounds—materials, narrative, and investor calibration
  • Founder Alignment & Support

  • Maintain high-touch relationships with founding teams
  • Push for accountability without overstepping—own the “trusted challenger” seat
  • Act as the first escalation point for operational fire drills
  • Navigate difficult founder dynamics with maturity and clarity
  • Analyst Team Management

  • Lead 1–2 analysts in tracking and interpreting portfolio data
  • Ensure output is accurate, timely, and IC-ready
  • Drive reporting discipline, deadline adherence, and performance visibility
  • Investment Support & Execution

  • Support Principals on live deals : due diligence, benchmarking, IC memos
  • Review models, validate AOP assumptions, and identify operational risks pre-investment
  • Manage post-deal integration into the portfolio review system
  • Who You Are

  • A buy-side trained portfolio manager, not just a transaction executor
  • Strong at handling complexity, ambiguity, and cross-functional founders
  • Can turn disorganized startup data into structured insights
  • Comfortable leading junior team members, reporting up to Principals, and working cross-border
  • Deep understanding of founder psychology, cap tables, burn, and operating leverage
  • Required Experience

  • 3–5 years in venture capital, private equity, or cross-stage fund investing
  • Must have managed a portfolio of 5+ companies, including KPI and founder oversight
  • Must have supported AOP planning, follow-on fundraising, or company turnarounds
  • Must have closed at least 2 investments end-to-end on the buy-side
  • MBA or CA required OR strong proof of financial modeling, AOP structuring, and decision-prep ownership
  • Experience managing analysts or junior team members in fund settings is a plus
  • Candidates with only investment banking, transaction advisory, or consulting backgrounds will not be considered.

    Compensation Structure

  • Total Annual Package : ₹26,50,000
  • ₹20,00,000 fixed annual salary
  • ₹3,25,000 confirmed annual retention bonus (paid every 12 months)
  • ₹3,25,000 ESOP grant annually (each annual grant comes with its own vesting schedule)
  • Performance bonus (based on portfolio success and personal execution)
  • Carry participation (disclosed during the final interview stage)
  • Fixed compensation is non-negotiable. All upside is earned through performance.
