Profile

Kedaara Capital is an operationally oriented private equity firm pursuing control and minority investment opportunities in India.

Kedaara combines the strengths of a well-networked, highly experienced local investment advisory and operating team, with the experience of our international partner, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, a pioneering global private equity firm whose investment model blends financial skills with operating expertise. We partner with entrepreneurs, management teams, and family-owned businesses and provide deep strategic & operational expertise, consultative approach, and global connectivity to build enduring value and competitiveness in such businesses.

Investment Philosophy

Kedaara was founded on a simple premise: market leading businesses are built with a sound strategy, driven entrepreneurs, and commitment to operating excellence. Our investment approach blends skilled investment judgment with extensive operating experience. Many enterprises, CEOs and entrepreneurs have selected Kedaara as their partner because of our strong reputation for trustworthiness, collaborative working and operational leadership.

We work with potential investee companies, primarily on an exclusive basis, to tailor transactions that address specific strategic and shareholder issues that matter most to them. What makes these transactions special is the flexibility, collaboration and sense of partnership that ensure each party’s needs are met and concerns addressed. Kedaara pursues investments where strategy, talent management, operational execution, and related business-building skills can drive significant value creation. While we typically invest between $75-125 million in each investment, we can invest a significantly larger amount (>$200 million) in select situations.
