About us
A family office and venture platform with real skin in the game
Founded by Sridhar Chityala and Shreyas Slater Chityala. We invest our own capital alongside the families and founders we partner with. Four decades of institutional experience, from JPMorgan to Mastercard to early-stage startups, shaped how we think about risk, structure, and what it takes to build things that last.
What Guides Us
Our decision principles
Capital
Before Ambition
We protect capital first. Growth follows discipline, not the other way around.
Long-Term
Responsibility
Every decision is made with the next generation in mind, not the next quarter.
Shared Judgment
Over Speed
We take the time to get aligned. Patience and accountability matter more than being first.
Our approach
Our family office preserves and grows capital across market cycles. Our venture platform backs a small number of companies where we can be deeply involved, not just as investors but as operators. We’ve been on both sides of the table, inside large institutions and alongside founders building from scratch, and that shapes everything about how we deploy capital.
STEWARDSHIP BEYOND CAPITAL
Our philanthropic work is rooted in the principles of Sanatana Dharma: continuity, duty, and service. We support education, community infrastructure, and places of worship, with the same discipline and long-term thinking we bring to our investments. These commitments are designed to outlast any market cycle.

Leadership
Father and son. Institutional experience meets entrepreneurial execution. This isn’t incidental to our structure. It’s the point.
