About Artha Group & Artha Prime Fund
Artha Group is a performance-first investment house managing ₹2,300 crores across domestic and international investment vehicles, including Category I & II AIFs, LLPs, and Private Limited companies. With active investments in 130+ startups, we operate at the convergence of capital precision and operational depth.
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
- Total annual package - ₹45,00,000
- ₹36,00,000 fixed annual salary
- ₹4,00,000 confirmed annual retention bonus (paid after 12 months)
- ₹5,00,000 ESOP grant annually (each annual grant comes with its own vesting schedule)
- 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.
