Overview

About

Amcha Partners AIF Trust (SEBI Reg. IN/AIF3/24-25/1655) is a Category III, open-ended AIF managed by Grobiz Professionals LLP, operating under the scheme name 'Grobiz SME Opportunity Fund' (SCORES ID: aifn00180). Headquartered at S-34, Vatika Business Centre, 7th Floor, Wing B, Supreme Business Park, Powai, Mumbai 400076, the fund was registered in December 2024. It was founded by Amit Kumar, a renowned MSME growth coach who previously founded MSMEx (a coaching platform for MSMEs), co-founded home services startup Zimmber (acquired by Quikr), and has made 25+ direct investments in SMEs — including successful IPO listings in Oriana Power, Creative Graphics Solutions, Trust Fintech, and Prospect Commodities. The fund is co-sponsored and co-managed by Manish Dubey (CA, 16+ years in business growth and taxation), Abhishek Chaurasia (Company Secretary, SEBI-registered Merchant Banker; 2,000+ valuations, 60+ transactions), and Sameer Dharap (20+ years in management consulting, entrepreneurship, and investment management; founded an AI venture featured as a Harvard Business School case study). The fund targets pre-IPO, SME IPO, and small-cap equity investments on a sector-agnostic basis.

Investment philosophy

Grobiz SME Opportunity Fund's investment philosophy is built on the conviction that India's SME sector represents a significant and underserved opportunity for value creation. The fund targets companies at pre-IPO, SME IPO, and early small-cap stages, investing with a mid-to-long-term horizon and a sector-agnostic lens. The ideal investee has: (1) quality management — leaders with proven pedigree, experience, and the coachability to adapt and grow; (2) a scalable, asset-light business model that drives sustainable profitability with minimal overhead; (3) a large Total Addressable Market with strong topline growth potential; and (4) growth with quality — scaling efficiently without compromising operational integrity. The fund's vision is to be a catalyst for transforming high-potential SMEs into industry leaders by providing 'शुभ लाभ' (value-added, ethically sourced capital) that drives sustainable growth and generates exceptional investor wealth. The portfolio is open-ended and diversified, combining direct equity investments in listed/pre-listed SMEs with long-only exposure to small-cap equities. Core investment values: Trust, Integrity, Growth Mindset, and Value Creation.
