Chandraprakash Siyal

I've always believed that real investing is less about models and more about judgment - knowing when to back a founder, when to push back on a term, and when to simply walk away. For the past several years, I've been managing private equity and high-yield fixed income portfolio at a large Single Family Office in Delhi. I own the process end to end - sourcing, diligence, documentation, and keeping a close eye on portfolio companies long after the money is deployed. Along the way I've had some interesting situations - deals I've walked away from, transactions I've had to fight to close, and investments that have quietly compounded in the background. Beyond private markets, I've built a fair understanding of public equities and how they interact with the rest of a portfolio. Asset allocation, liquidity trade-offs, risk across market cycles - these are things I think about as much as any individual deal. Nine years in across family offices, PE/VC advisory, and banking - I still find this work genuinely interesting.
