About Artha Group & Artha Prime Fund
Artha Group is a performance-led investment firm managing over ₹1,250 crores (USD 150M+) across venture capital, private equity, and public market strategies. Our platforms include:
- Artha Venture Fund – Early-stage sector-focused VC (B2C, fintech, mobility, SaaS)
- Artha Continuum Fund – Cross-stage investments across Indian and global markets
- Artha Select Fund – Follow-on capital for breakout portfolio companies
- Artha Quest Fund – India’s first institutional platform for search fund investing
- Artha Prime Fund – A public markets fund focused on pre-IPO and microcap equities
Artha Prime Fund identifies promoter-led, fundamentals-driven companies that are priced below intrinsic value—well before broader market recognition. We apply rigorous research, forensic diligence, and on-ground validation to generate asymmetric returns.
Role Overview
We are hiring an Analyst to support the investment research, diligence, and execution engine of Artha Prime Fund. This is a buy-side role - not a coverage or report-writing position. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience evaluating listed or pre-IPO opportunities, conducting deep financial analysis, and supporting conviction-led investments.
This role requires precision, speed, and a bias toward clarity. You will work directly with the Principal and senior team members on live investment ideas, thesis development, and portfolio reporting.
Key Responsibilities
Investment Research & Financial Diligence
- Conduct fundamental analysis on listed and pre-IPO companies, focusing on financial quality, promoter behavior, and governance
- Build and maintain financial models, valuation frameworks, and investment trackers
- Identify hidden risks through forensic review of filings, disclosures, and audit history
- Prepare concise, decision-oriented research briefs—not coverage notes
On-Ground Validation
- Coordinate and participate in distributor, supplier, and customer calls
- Support field diligence efforts, including site visits and promoter meetings
- Triangulate financial performance with real-world insights to validate assumptions
Screening & Pipeline Management
- Track a rolling watchlist of underpriced, underfollowed public equities
- Monitor corporate actions, market movements, earnings reports, and filings
- Flag thesis triggers, red flags, and potential entry points in real time
Reporting & Execution Support
- Maintain internal investment dashboards, models, and due diligence repositories
- Assist in preparing investment memos and IC presentation decks
- Ensure hygiene, timeliness, and completeness of all research outputs
Candidate Profile
This role is for a finance-first analyst with prior experience on the buy side—public markets, family offices, PMS, or fund investing. We are not considering candidates from equity sales, brokerage research, or sell-side analyst desks.
Required Experience & Skills
- Chartered Accountant is a must
- 2 - 4 years of experience in public market investing, equity research (buy side only), or pre-IPO diligence
- Demonstrated exposure to small-cap or micro-cap companies
- Strong financial modeling and valuation skills (DCF, relative valuation, forensic analysis)
- Sharp business writing and the ability to synthesize large datasets into clear insights
- High standards of ownership, execution speed, and reporting discipline
Compensation Structure
- ₹13,50,000 total CTC per annum
- ₹10,80,000 fixed annual salary (paid monthly)
- ₹2,70,000 annual retention bonus (paid after 12 months)
- Performance bonus based on fund and individual KPIs
- Promotion pathway to Associate level within 18–24 months based on outcomes
Note: Fixed compensation is non-negotiable. All upside is performance-driven.
