About Us

About Us

Synergy Capital Partners is India’s first fund dedicated to investing in the 'Early-Growth' stage, when annualised revenues of the target private companies are in the range of INR 75 - 300 Cr. 'Early-Growth' equity investing requires a customized approach that is distinct in style from both Private-Equity (Late-growth) and Venture-Capital (Early-stage). Our founder has developed, refined and templatized the 'Early-Growth' approach with 24 investments and 15 exits over 17 years.

Apurva Patel

Apurva began his entrepreneurial journey in private equity investments in 2018, after spending 12 years as a senior private equity professional in India. Most recently, he was the founding Fund Manager at Singularity Growth Opportunities Fund. Over time Apurva has worked in India and the United States across Equity Research, Technology Investment Banking, Leveraged Finance and in an operating role at a software startup. The breadth of his experiences enables Apurva to think and process in matrices instead of linearly. Apurva’s higher education qualifications include C.A. (All-India rank) and M.B.A. (Duke University).

Apurva believes ardently in enjoying the journey as well instead of just being fixated on the outcome. Founders, Co-investors, Investors and Colleagues all know him to have a consistent investment temperament and to follow a consistent investment process. The team he is building is eager to create a franchise that becomes known for delivering consistent returns, while helping the ecosystem at large.


“Knowing yourself deeply, and following your unique path, acts as protection against the herd instinct, envy, FOMO, and the deafening drumbeat of public opinion.”
