About Ekamya Capital

Ekamya Capital is an investment management firm focused on creating long-term value for investors and entrepreneurs. Built on the principle of unity and a single goal of prosperity, the firm operates across the Indian market with a strong focus on Pre-IPO opportunities and asset management.

We invest in high-potential businesses across manufacturing, consumer goods, and technology, supported by a team of certified financial advisers and experienced fund managers. The firm manages the Ekamya Pragati Fund, a Category I AIF (SME) registered with SEBI (IN/AIF1/24-25/1768), and offers tailored solutions supporting companies from early-stage growth through IPO and beyond.

We are now launching a current Category II AIF, and this role will lead it from the ground up.

The Role

The Fund Manager will own the fund end-to-end: investment strategy, evaluation, execution, and portfolio performance. This is a founding-team position on a fund being built from scratch, so the mandate spans origination through exit and involves building systems as you go.

Location: Magnum Global Park, Sector 58, Gurugram, Haryana. This is an in-person role. We expect the person to be in the office on all working days. We have a strong preference for candidates residing close to our office location.
