About Artha Group


Artha Group is a performance-first investment house managing ₹1,500 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.

Role Overview

We’re hiring Principal to lead investment execution and portfolio development across our core funds:

  • 1 role in Gift City, Gandhinagar for Artha Continuum Fund


Reports to: Managing Partner, Artha Continuum Fund


You’ll be responsible for full-cycle investing, from sourcing and thesis development to diligence, structuring, and post-investment portfolio work.


You’ll lead a team of Associates and Analysts, run internal reviews, and set the bar for research quality and investment judgment.

This is a Partner-track role for professionals ready to own capital, conviction, and execution at a high-performance fund.

What You’ll Lead


End-to-End Deal Execution

  • Build proprietary sourcing pipelines (India and global)
  • Drive founder meetings, diligence, modeling, and IC prep
  • Lead term sheet negotiation, legal closure, and disbursement


Portfolio Value Creation

  • Advise founders across GTM, hiring, org design, and downstream capital
  • Identify underperformance early; own risk-mitigation conversations
  • Track and report KPIs, milestones, and board-level insights


Team Leadership

  • Mentor and manage Associates and Analysts
  • Enforce follow-up, research depth, and memo quality
  • Run internal investment reviews and pre-IC forums


Fund Strategy & Reporting

  • Contribute to LP dashboards and investor updates
  • Support new fund design, co-investment structures, and sector allocations
  • Represent Artha at founder forums, investor summits, and panels

Candidate Profile

  • 7–10 years in venture capital, private equity, or fund investing
  • Strong deal sheet: you’ve led or co-led 3+ investments end-to-end
  • Experience across sourcing, founder interaction, diligence, and IC presentation
  • Confident communicator—can defend a thesis without overplaying
  • Bonus: operator background, product/strategy experience in a startup

Note: Candidates with only investment banking or transaction advisory experience will not be considered.

This is a buy-side investor role, not a transaction support or fundraising job.

Key Traits for Success

  • An ownership-first mindset with high performance standards
  • Strong follow-up discipline and pipeline hygiene
  • Experience leading junior team members and upholding execution clarity
  • Sharp financial acumen, cap table intuition, and modeling fluency
  • Ability to build trust with both founders and fund leadership

Compensation Structure

  • Total annual package - ₹45,00,000
  • ₹36,00,000 fixed annual salary
  • ₹4,00,000 annual retention bonus (paid after 12 months)
  • ₹5,00,000 in ESOPs granted annually (each annual grant comes with its own vesting schedule)
  • Performance bonus linked to portfolio KPIs and personal execution
  • Carry in the fund (disclosed at final interview)

Fixed compensation is non-negotiable.

All upside is earned through performance, not negotiation.

Incomplete answers to screening or reflection questions will result in disqualification.
