Our Story
Rooted in a heritage of discovery and stewardship, shaped by generations of wisdom in patience and natural progression.
Archaeological Legacy
Our great-grandfather, Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni, made one of archaeology's most significant discoveries when he uncovered the ancient city of Harappa in 1921. This foundational moment taught our family that the greatest treasures require patient excavation, methodical approach, and deep respect for what came before.
His discovery revealed an entire civilization that had been hidden for millennia, demonstrating the profound value that lies beneath the surface when approached with knowledge, patience, and reverence.
River Guidance
Our grandfather spent his life guiding timber down the treacherous rivers flowing from the Himalayas. This work taught him—and through him, us—that true strength comes not from fighting natural currents, but from understanding them and working in harmony with their flow.
He learned that the river shapes and seasons everything it touches, that patience and respect for natural rhythms create more value than force ever could. The river became his teacher, and its lessons became ours.
Business Stewardship
Today, we apply these generational lessons to business investment and stewardship. Like our great-grandfather's archaeological work, we carefully excavate the hidden potential in established businesses, respecting their heritage while uncovering new possibilities.
Like our grandfather's river guidance, we understand that businesses have natural rhythms and currents. We work with these forces, providing steady guidance while allowing the inherent strength of the business to carry it forward.
Our Mission
"To build enduring businesses through patient capital, operational excellence, and values-driven stewardship. We honor the legacy of founders while nurturing the next chapter of growth, creating lasting value for all stakeholders—owners, employees, communities, and investors."
