About Us


Volvie Capital Management Pvt. Ltd. (“Volvie”) provides advisory services across the capital structure to clients in India, as well as Southeast Asia.

Our thesis is very simple: Indian companies in particular, and Southeast Asian companies in general are poised for massive domestic growth, but will need capital inflow from outside the home country to fully realize their potential and maximize value. Volvie is committed to building relationships with emerging best-of-breed companies in tech and tech-adjacent industries, and prepared to work closely with them to source the most efficient capital solutions. We believe our edge in creating meaningful win-win transaction opportunities is anchored by:

  • decades of combined experience across markets
  • dedication to a specific segment of company size and strategy
  • ability to leverage existing relationships in India and Southeast Asia
  • commitment to leading courageous companies to seek capital outside the local economy
  • The Volvie team is also deeply invested in Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) by dedicating a minimum of 10% of company profits to charitable causes in India.

    Expert Capabilities Across the Capital Markets


    Volvie’s team has a depth of experience and the expertise to execute transactions in the most efficient, value-added manner. In the last 12 months we:

  • Raised debt for Indian companies, as well as for fereign-based affiliates of Indian corporates
  • Advised on numerous cross-border acquisitions - including both U.S. buyers of Indian companies as well as Indian buyers of U.S. companies
  • Arranged private investment capital for both Indian and Southeast Asian companies
  • Advised distressed Indian companies on workout and turnaround strategies

  • Deeply Local and Going Global


    Volvie is singularly focused on micro- and small-cap companies based in India and Southeast Asia who target their businesses to local and regional economies. We seek forward thinking leaders who recognize that sustainable growth and operating margins are achievable based on home-grown talent and a burgeoning consumer economy

    We look to work with innovators and disruptors in a variety of tech-oriented verticals, among them: Clean Tech, Agritech, SaaS, Greentech, Fintech, Cyber security, KPO’s and we work with each company’s promoter and management team to optimize capital inflow that benefits the company and its stakeholders.

    Where once Indian companies were built to immediately serve the rest of the world, the new generation of Indian entrepreneurs is geared towards serving the local economy first. Volvie tracks hundreds of entrants into the new Indian marketplaces, as well as certain other regional countries, and sources only the best (and sometimes most disruptive) ones who are ready for capital inflow from external sources.
