IVF's investment
philosophy is not limited to providing funds
- it goes a step further to partner with the
portfolio company to "build"
their business. This is IVF's unique contribution
to the Private Equity industry in India. IVF's
Business Managers are industry experts who have
played leading roles in large organizations
for over 20 years each. Their vast experience
and keen insight makes them most suited to support
portfolio companies and facilitate their progress
to world-class organisations.
IVF spends significant time with each portfolio
company to continuously support them at all
levels including:
Definition of strategy
and organization structure: IVF's Business
Managers are proficient in redefining strategies
and aligning organizations to achieve strategic
changes.
Attraction of quality talent:
The success of an organization lies primarily
in its management team. IVF helps in selecting
the "right person for the right |
|
job" using
an extensive network of relationships in industry
along with its unique experience and judgment.
Creation of systems and
processes: Efficient, high standard organizations
focus managers’ time more on business development
and less on administration, which once set in
the initial stages works on its own with little
input. IVF assists in designing systems for
finance, marketing, information technology,
and human resources with high quality service
providers.
Business development:
IVF's teams in India and the US are associated
with a wide array of businesses, and bring to
the table vast knowledge base, expertise, considered
opinion, reasoning and network of relationships.
The US team brings in a special global perspective
and understanding.
Financial discipline:
Finance is the lifeline of any business and
more often than not the most neglected. In the
pursuit of ideas and targets, finance can |
|
be often ignored.
IVF's team has the right experience and discipline
to strengthen the financial structure as well
as introduce and monitor operating controls.
IVF also insists upon the highest standard of
reporting and corporate governance.
Sourcing capital:
IVF, through its network of affiliations with
leading financial institutions in India, ensures
that adequate capital (debt & equity) is
available to their partner firms and at the
right cost and balance.
Specific industry issues:
IVF team members have vast and varied experience
covering the fields of media and entertainment,
outsourced services, healthcare, retail, financial
services, and precision engineering and can
therefore address issues with remarkable clarity.
The levels of understanding and knowledge they
have imbibed and seek continuously places them
on the path of become thought leaders in these
fields. |
