An investment house
built for cycles, not quarters.
We allocate capital across Indian equities, derivatives and alternative opportunities — with the rigour of an institution and the conviction of an owner. Cygnus exists to compound serious capital, prudently and patiently.
Built by market practitioners, not marketers.
Cygnus Capital is an Indian investment management and proprietary trading firm, headquartered in Indore. We manage ₹1,200+ Crore across equities, derivatives, alternative opportunities and a dedicated proprietary book — for HNIs, family offices, institutions and corporate treasuries.
Founded in 2020 by professionals with deep experience across public markets, derivatives trading, equity research and family-office investing, the mandate has been singular from day one: build the kind of investment house we would trust with our own capital.
We are deliberate about scale. We work with a curated set of clients where the relationship is direct, the process is transparent, and the conversations are honest — including when markets are not cooperating.
The principles that
define the firm.
A working set of beliefs — not a marketing brochure. These principles govern how we hire, allocate, and report.

“We don’t chase markets. We compound through them.”
I started Cygnus because the kind of investment house I wanted to manage my own family’s capital didn’t exist in India — institutional in process, transparent in conduct, long-term in horizon, and small enough to know every client by name.
Our edge isn’t any single strategy. It’s discipline. It’s a research desk that says “we don’t know yet” more often than it says “buy”. It’s a risk committee with explicit veto power. It’s a portfolio book where every position has a written thesis and an exit condition.
Markets reward patience and process. The firm is built around both. We’d rather miss a quarter than blow a decade.
