SNOW LEOPARD GLOBAL
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Your Trusted Partner for Public and Private Equity Investments Between India and the USA
ABOUT US
Snow Leopard Global Capital Management is a global alternative asset manager with offices in Pune, India and New York, NY.
Its founders have known each other for close to forty years since growing up together in New York City and attending primary school there.
Since then, each founder has managed family office capital for the past fiteen years in a variety of private and public investments from new age and traditional businesses to land and developments.
The founders have immersed themselves extensively since their childhoods into the Indian and USA investments ecosystems such that they have proprietary relationships in each of the two very different geographic and cultural regions that allow the firm to access unique founders, capital and networks unavailable to most firms. Their professional and academic experiences provide them natural and unforced in’s into these networks that yield these unique opportunities.
The following is an overview of the firm’s current products:
VENTURE CAPITAL
We invest capital from Global and Indian family offices and institutional investors to invest into select, high potential, high growth-rate, technology-enabled Indian and Global businesses.
PUBLIC INVESTMENTS STRATEGIES
We invest capital in Super Return, a prop-trading strategy that generates meaningful annual returns based on a number of short and medium-term ideas that generate returns in both up and down markets. This strategy differs from the typical buy and hold, wherein down markets tend to be opportunities to “buy” more while waiting for markets to pick up. Our belief is that the balanced strategy of long term compounders on the one hand, and shorter term volatility-linked trades are the right mix for a pool of capital.

Snow Leopard also has significant experience in identifying later stage secondary transaction opportunities.
