Investments

The directors of VLM bring a long-standing tradition of expertise in investments in Shares and private equity. Over the years, they have consistently demonstrated a strong track record of identifying and capitalizing on lucrative opportunities across various sectors. Today, they hold an impressive valuation of ₹50 crores in shares and equity, reflecting their deep understanding of market dynamics and commitment to sustained growth.

This resurgence can be largely attributed to the visionary leadership of Karthik Soundarajan, the firm’s Director. Under his guidance, the companies assets has transformed into a dynamic and multifaceted investment powerhouse. The group of companies now holds assets valued at ₹300 crores, spanning diverse sectors, including real estate, which reflects both a strong financial foundation and a deep commitment to sustainable growth.

 Karthik Soundarajan’s strategic diversification has significantly expanded the firm's footprint across a wide array of financial instruments and asset classes. These include Equities, Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), Mutual Funds, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), Bonds, Venture Capital, and Quantitative Strategies (Quants). By engaging in this broad range of assets, the firm is able to mitigate risks effectively while seizing opportunities in emerging market trends.

The Directors' early investments have been particularly successful, with a notable example being the investment in Apollo Hospitals in 1990. Initially purchased at face value, the company saw significant growth, ultimately resulting in an exit in 2003 with substantial returns. Another prime example is the early acquisition  yielded  results over time.

We are also venturing into the American equity space, seeking out new opportunities and diversifying further into international markets. This global expansion allows the firm to capture value from growth markets abroad, enhancing its overall investment strategy and reinforcing its position as a dynamic player in the financial space.
