At 885 Capital we champion the big ideas that fuel ambitious, bold, and innovative projects.
Philosophy
Thinking big
885’s Capital philosophy is rooted in thinking big and backing ambitious ideas, whilst still respecting the need to start with small steps and respect diversity and local culture.
Evaluate & relate
As entrepreneurs and active managers, we can evaluate, relate to, and support the journey of other founders and management teams.
Decisive
As direct hands-on decision makers with a long-term outlook, we are able to act fast and deploy capital decisively without a fear of short-term volatility.
Founders
885 Capital was founded by Jai Ashok Mahtani and Sudeep Ramesh Ramnani, who have built successful investment careers as founders and investors by making smart decisions at the right time.
Starting out in West Africa by founding a retail-based business, the pair’s focus evolved to more scalable online and mobile commerce. Since then, they have expanded across regions and continents, and now manage a robust and diverse portfolio of businesses that they helped to grow and develop.
885 have pioneered an analytical yet practical approach to growing scalable technology-driven businesses in emerging markets and have identified and acted on diverse and varied opportunities across industries and geographies to ensure that the investment portfolio remains resilient, adaptive, and well-positioned for long-term growth.
Now located in Dubai – a strategic global hub at the heart of transnational investments – 885 is ideally positioned to execute its global vision for businesses and investment activities.
