We didn't start with a fund. We started with a decade in the trenches.

Grobiz began when a group of people who had spent years building, coaching, valuing and listing Indian Start-ups and SMEs decided the market needed institutional capital that actually understood this segment and built that vehicle themselves.

How Grobiz Came To Be

The story behind the fund

Long before Grobiz was registered, our Founder Amit Kumar was already inside India's SME ecosystem coaching founders through MSMEx, India's leading SME growth platform, and guiding more than fifteen companies through the IPO journey including Oriana Power, Creative Graphics, Trust Fintech, Prospect Commodities, Aakaar Medical.

But individual conviction is not an institution. To manage other people's capital in this market, conviction needs rails forensic diligence, independent valuation discipline, and governance that holds even when a deal is exciting.

That is why Sameer Dharap, Abhishek Chaurasia and Manish Dubey joined Amit to build Grobiz, bringing Big-4 deal advisory, 2,000+ valuations, 60+ M&A transactions and institutional-grade investment research capability into one Investment Committee. Founder-led deal access. Institutional discipline around it. Neither works alone, together, they are the fund.

Grobiz Professionals LLP

The SEBI-registered entity responsible for investment research, capital allocation and portfolio monitoring. We make the decisions. We do not hold the money.
