Who This Is For

WHO I INVEST IN

I focus on founders with a genuine idea, a real market, and the commitment to build something lasting. Background doesn't matter — hunger does.

🌶️
Food & Spice Founders
Kerala food products, spice brands, pickles, snacks, ready-to-cook — anything with a real recipe and a market gap.
📦
Product Entrepreneurs
People with a product idea who need capital, packaging, ecommerce, and distribution to get to market.
🛒
Ecommerce Starters
First-time sellers who need a proper Shopify store, brand identity, and a launch strategy that actually works.
🏭
MSME Owners
Existing small manufacturers who need to scale, systemise, and access new markets — especially GCC export.
🚀
Early Startup Founders
Pre-revenue ideas with strong potential in food, retail, services, or any category where Haris has market knowledge.
🌍
Export Aspirants
Kerala entrepreneurs who want to sell to the GCC market but need regulatory guidance, packaging standards, and buyer connections.
The Process

HOW IT WORKS

Simple. Direct. No long application process. I want to talk to real founders with real ideas.

01
Send Your Idea on WhatsApp
Message me directly with your business idea — what you want to build, what stage you are at, and what you need. No pitch deck required at this stage.
02
First Call — 30 Minutes
We get on a call to understand your idea, your background, the market opportunity, and whether there is a genuine fit for partnership. Honest conversation, no fluff.
03
Business Model Review
Together we map out the business model — revenue streams, costs, market size, competition, and the minimum viable version of your product or service.
04
Partnership Structure
We agree on the investment terms, equity or profit-sharing structure, roles, and milestones. Simple and fair — built for long-term success, not short-term extraction.
05
Build Together
Once agreed, we start building. Brand, product, systems, sales — I am actively involved in the first phase to make sure the business gets off the ground right.

Selection Criteria

WHAT I LOOK FOR

I don't invest in ideas — I invest in the people behind them and the markets they are going after.

A Real Market Problem
Not a solution looking for a problem. Show me there is a genuine demand — customers who have this pain point right now.
Founder Commitment
Full-time dedication, not a side project. I work with founders who are all-in and accountable to real milestones.
Sellable Product or Service
Something with clear value, a realistic price point, and a path to the first 100 paying customers within 90 days.
Kerala or GCC Opportunity
Businesses that can leverage the Kerala-GCC corridor — local production, NRI diaspora, or export-ready food and product categories.
Scalable Model
It does not need to be tech. But it needs to be able to grow beyond the founder — through systems, channels, or team.
Openness to Build Together
I am not a passive investor. You need to be open to feedback, strategic input, and doing the hard work — not just receiving funds.
Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Do I need a registered company to apply? +

No. Many early-stage founders I work with are pre-registration. We can figure out the legal structure together as part of the partnership setup. What matters is the idea and your commitment.

What equity do you take? +

This depends on the investment amount, the stage, and the value I bring beyond capital. I structure deals fairly — typically between 15% to 40% equity or a profit-sharing arrangement. Every deal is discussed openly.

What is the minimum investment amount? +

There is no fixed minimum. Some businesses need ₹2 lakhs, others need ₹20 lakhs. The investment is matched to what the business actually needs to validate and scale — not inflated unnecessarily.

How involved will you be in day-to-day operations? +

Very involved in the first 3–6 months during the build phase. After that, I transition to a strategic advisory role — regular check-ins, key decisions, and opening doors. The goal is to make the business self-sufficient.

Do you invest outside of Kerala? +

Primarily Kerala and GCC-focused businesses. But if the idea is strong and there is a clear connection to markets where I have networks — food, ecommerce, spices — I am open to conversations from anywhere.

How do I apply? +

Simply message me on WhatsApp with a brief description of your idea, what stage you are at, and what you are looking for. No formal pitch deck needed to start the conversation.
