Arvind Kothari
Founder
I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and start a business but it became clear early that I lacked all the organization skills – except for risk-taking and grit. With these two armours in my arsenal, it became obvious to me that only Niveshaay (investing) could be my outlet and my only shot at entrepreneurship.
Over time, extremely passionate and hardworking folks joined me. Still, we all were a bunch of crazy research geeks roaming around from plant to plant and city to city in search of good businesses not having any mentor in the fund management industry to guide us on how to approach things. We faced numerous setbacks and failures, but managed to stick around somehow.
In hindsight, it all makes sense; we were always connecting the dots. The outcome of our hard work kept on creating milestones, yet we constantly wondered if there could be a better way of doing things and continued to refine our process while searching for that missing link. Fixing research is a never-ending task and we think it will take more than a lifetime to perfect it but we have come far in our research journey. Our approach of scuttlebutt and relationship-building in business led us to exceptional entrepreneurs in both listed and unlisted spaces. Just 5-6 years ago, investing in unlisted space was unattainable, but by the grace of God, we pivoted and began investing there, led by exceptional entrepreneur.
We dream to back our heroes (entrepreneurs) with capital and capabilities by offering connections built over the years, introducing them to our ecosystem of research, excellent consultants, and peer group advisory.

I began my investment journey with them through Smallcase, then moved to their equity research services, and have now finally invested in the Niveshaay AIF
I am a great admirer of Arvind Ji’s Scuttlebutt style of investing, especially the way he identifies emerging growth opportunities in small and mid-sized companies. Their focus on thematic buckets such as Solar, Railways, Defence, Consumption, and Textiles has always impressed me.
I feel extremely happy and proud to be associated with Arvind Ji and his exceptional team. They are highly professional, always approachable, and ever-ready to support with a warm smile. Arvind Ji possesses not only deep knowledge and wisdom but is also remarkably humble and down to earth.

We’ve been investing with Niveshaay for over two years now, and it’s been a rewarding experience.
Their research-driven investing style, focused on high-conviction reminds us of the kind of rigor we value at Think School. In fact, Niveshaay is the Think School of the investing world: deeply analytical, independent, and never driven by noise.
They don’t chase trends. They build portfolios with patience, principle, and purpose.
The team is humble, responsive, and incredibly sharp. They’ve helped us stay calm and informed through every market phase. It truly feels like a partnership, not a service.
If you want long-term wealth creation backed by real research, Niveshaay is a no-brainer.

I have known Arvind since his formative years as a Chartered Accountancy student,
where his intelligence, curiosity, and dedication were clearly visible. It has been a pleasure to witness his growth into a sharp, dependable, and impactful professional. What makes this journey especially fulfilling is the transition from being his mentor to now his client—a rare and rewarding experience. Niveshaay, under able leadership of Arvind, exemplifies professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to excellence.

Your thoughtful approach, depth of knowledge, and dedication have truly made a difference in my financial journey.
I value most about working with you is your entrepreneurial approach to investing. You don’t just look at numbers—you approach each opportunity with the mindset of a business owner, carefully assessing risks and upside potential in a way that reflects deep conviction and long-term thinking. This perspective has given me greater confidence in our investment decisions.
Niveshaay’s ability to evaluate and identify the right management teams is another quality I greatly admire. The emphasis you place on leadership, vision, and execution when assessing a company speaks volumes about your commitment to investing in businesses, not just stocks. It’s a rare skill that sets you apart in today’s market.
I’ve also been particularly impressed by your use of the art of scuttlebutt—gathering real-world, ground-level insights that often go unnoticed by traditional analysis. Your diligence in going beyond the data, speaking to customers, competitors, and industry insiders, provides a competitive edge that I deeply respect and benefit from.

Partnering with NIVESHAAY has been a transformative experience in my investment journey.
What truly distinguishes NIVESHAAY is their boots-on-the-ground, scuttlebutt-style investment research. They go far beyond financial statements—engaging with management, suppliers, distributors, and even competitors to uncover nuanced insights that the market often overlooks. It’s this on-the-ground diligence and 360° view that builds deep conviction in their stock ideas.”
“Equally impressive is their approach to communication. NIVESHAAY excels at translating detailed research into clear, actionable insights. Whether through well-structured reports, timely updates, or personal interactions, their communication is always transparent, educational, and aligned with my investment goals.”
“They embody integrity, depth, and a genuine commitment to long-term wealth creation.”
