Born in a reputed farmer family in the village of Jugsana Kalan, Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, Shri Narvar is a first-generation business leader. From a young age, he believed that technical education and entrepreneurship as well as agriculture are imporant for the prosperity of the nation. He reasoned that businesses contribute to the betterment of communities through wealth augmentation, job creation, services innovation and opportunities for social change. This made him follow the entrepreneurial path with great passion and purpose.

Creating value in an interconnected landscape

Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, Shri Narvar has pursued the vision of building businesses that create a lasting positive impact across the stakeholder ecosystem. He is a firm believer in India’s economic superpower potential. Shri Narvar recognises that factors such as a well-educated workforce, young demographic, tech-driven startup culture and pro-growth policies make the foundation to boost the country’s strong performance.

This thinking underpins his far-sighted approach to business. His aim is to nurture an interconnected business landscape with deep digital interventions to cater to the varied demands of India’s societal pyramid and economy matrix. In doing so, he has led and backed teams with conviction, confidence and clarity.

An entrepreneur by design, a nationalist by intent

A serial entrepreneur and investor, Shri Narvar is currently focused on financial services including fintech, edutech, retailtech, realty and the infrastructure sector. He also has invested in disruptive tech-oriented startups. He believes that financial inclusion, infrastructure development and innovative startups are the essential pillars to empower communities and accelerate the country’s development. All his businesses demonstrate a long-term commitment to stakeholder value creation through robust relationships and identifying scalable technology. Across his companies, a hand-picked team of professionals execute this long-term vision.

He ventured into the financial services sector with Capital India Finance, an India-focused NBFC that partners new-age, local businesses and entrepreneurs with customised finance solutions. Since then, it has forayed into the areas of SME finance, housing finance, fintech, forex management and investments.

Shri Narvar is also a sought-after leader among the business community. He founded Trident Realty which has a presence in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The brand is associated with thoughtfully planned and superior-quality homes where happy families live and prosper.

In the future, he plans to expand his business interests in financial services and, technology-led new-age companies.

Nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs

Shri Narvar believes that young and new-age Indian entrepreneurs will play a key role in India’s progressive development. He believes in the power of digital technologies to transform and scale businesses and contribute to India’s evolution in the 21st century. In pursuit of this goal, he has backed various businesses led by first-generation entrepreneurs, especially in the frictionless economy. As an angel investor, he supports them not just with capital but also offers mentorship and strategic guidance.

His investments include companies that offer innovative and disruptive digital platforms to cater solutions for India’s new economy.

RapiPay, a fintech player into payments and neobanking, is part of Capital India Finance. These investments are in alignment with his vision and ideals to bring transformative and scalable solutions to the market through technology-driven disruptions.

Shri Narvar’s investment philosophy ensures that the founders and leaders of any business have complete operational freedom. He supports retaining the start-up’s culture. The investments are in the form of long-term patient capital with a significant majority stake. It ensures that every startup can follow its growth path in a disciplined and sustainable manner without any artificial pressure on external valuations.

Proud Indian taking India to the world

A strong advocate of the Atmanirbhar Bharat philosophy, Shri Narvar believes that the strategy will fortify India’s economy by capitalising on its internal strengths and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. He is continuously on the lookout for homegrown investment opportunities that add value to his portfolio of companies. In recent times, some of the startups have global growth plans to establish a footing in Asia, Middle East and Africa.

Shri Narvar’s investment approach is based on the clarion call to ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ by our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Hence, one of his criteria for funding is to invest in ideas that offer universal solutions. He believes that such a proposition makes it easier for the organisations to find a marketplace in cross-border geographies and make a global impact. Consequently, companies backed by Shri Narvar are making rapid inroads into global markets and creating significant strategic value for all stakeholders.
