Everstone Capital Asia is a Singapore-based venture capital firm that specializes in seed stage, early stage, and growth stage investments in India and Southeast Asia,[1] focusing on private companies across retail, pharmaceutical, real estate and technology sectors.[2]

History

The company's origin can be traced back to Future Capital, a financial services firm that was established by Sameer Sain in partnership with Future Group in 2006.[3] Sain took over Future Capital’s private equity business in 2009 and teamed up with Atul Kapur, a former Goldman Sachs colleague, to form Everstone Capital.[4]

At first, the company began its operations in London. Soon after, they rapidly expanded, establishing five additional offices in Singapore, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Mauritius. Surprisingly, they made the decision to close their London office in 2008 and relocated their headquarters to Asia.[5]
