Founder and Fund manager
Arvind Kothari is the Founder of Niveshaay Investment Advisors, a SEBI Registered Investment Advisory Firm established in 2017. Previously, he was associated with ICICI Bank, where he undertook in-depth industry analysis across diverse sectors, including solar and capital goods. Driven by a vision to simplify wealth management and investment, he subsequently founded Niveshaay Investment Advisors. With over a decade of experience, his investment philosophy has remained consistent: a profound understanding of businesses, investment in promising entrepreneurial ventures, continuous research, and sustained interaction with industry experts and founders. This disciplined approach has allowed him to mitigate sector-specific biases and identify growth prospects in nascent industries like renewables and electronics, often missed by the broader market. A cornerstone of his strategy is placing confidence in the vision of entrepreneurs, prioritizing their long-term perspective over short-term financial metrics, a tenet reflected in the firm's operational ethos. A staunch advocate for the burgeoning Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem and the nation's economic expansion, Mr. Kothari aims to identify exceptional management teams. He actively contributes to the growth of these companies by providing capital for expansion or by facilitating their progress through his extensive network of entrepreneurs and investors cultivated over the years. Furthermore, he frequently participates in industry webinars, sharing insights on emerging sector trends and his investment methodologies. His expertise has also been recognized through features in leading financial publications such as The Economic Times, Business Standard, Money Control, and Live Mint, among others.
