Who We Are

Since 2005, Phi Capital has pioneered mid-market private equity investing in India. We back ambitious businesses and entrepreneurs with a growth mindset, through capital and deep operating expertise, helping businesses unlock their full potential.

Our story includes supporting turnaround of iconic ventures such as Royal Enfield, Spark Minda, incubating ventures like Mahindra First Choice, TVS Credit Services, Classic Legends (Jawa Yezdi BSA motorcycles) and taking many entities public–including Krsnaa Diagnostics. Each investment reflects our philosophy—to build, scale, and transform businesses into industry leaders with tangible long-term competitive advantage. We take pride in knowing that the companies we partner with continue to grow and thrive well beyond our involvement, becoming a lasting part of our legacy.

We manage assets worth half-a-billion dollars and are actively investing from our Fund III – Phi Capital Growth Fund 1.6, a sector-agnostic, mid-market private equity fund. We are backed by investors ranging from large Global and Domestic Institutional Investors to notable HNIs and Family Offices from across the world.

We invest growth capital in private companies across ownership levels — from minority and significant minority stakes to full buyouts — and can also participate in public listed entities through minority positions.

Our Approach

At Phi Capital, investing is not about writing cheques. It’s about building businesses.

01
Proprietary Sourcing

We identify and create opportunities through our network of founders, promoters, and industry leaders.

02
Business Transformation

We bring in operational expertise across capital allocation, governance, sales strategy, brand building, organizational design, and financial discipline to help companies move from small to medium, and medium to large.

03
Scaling with Impact

Our interventions go beyond financial growth. We help companies unlock new growth vectors, institutionalize governance, and build resilience—ensuring businesses are positioned for long-term success.

Through strategic interventions, we aim to elevate businesses from small to medium and from medium to large scales, maximizing their potential and our investment returns.

What Does Phi Signify?

Phi (Φ)—the Golden Ratio (~1.618)—represents balance, harmony, and proportion found throughout nature, art, and architecture. At Phi Capital, it symbolizes the same principles we apply to help build enduring businesses.

From a business and investment lens, Phi reflects the equilibrium between growth and stability—between capital and capability, ambition and discipline, scale and sustainability. It embodies our belief that lasting value is created when every element of a business—strategy, people, capital, and operations—works in proportion to the other.

Just as the Golden Ratio has guided timeless creations, Phi Capital brings together the art and science of investing—combining deep operating expertise with disciplined capital allocation to partner with businesses to achieve their own growth trajectory.

For us, Phi is more than a name—it’s our philosophy: to co-create balanced, well-structured, and lasting enterprises that compound value over time.
