What our investors say..
Farah Malik Bhanji, MD – Metro Brands
Vikas, Swati and the Carnelian team have done an excellent job managing our money. They have been one of the top
performing funds in our portfolio for the year. Having been invested with them since inception, we have seen their
strategy play out through the Covid period with great success. Carnelian’s clarity and fidelity to their thesis and process
inspires a lot of confidence and the results speak for themselves. I wish them all the best for their future endeavours and
look forward to being a part of their journey.

Gopal Srinivasan, Chairman & Managing Director - TVS Capital Funds


Find a great manager like Vikas. I have invested in his funds and I think give people like him money because this requires
a very strong navigation, break, clutch, acceleration and steering system to manage so that would be my advise to most
people that there is alpha in the market and alpha can be best sought out in the hands of professionals like Vikas.

Abhishek Dalmia, Chairman – Renaissance Group


In investing, big money is made by being a contrarian. Humans derive comfort from being part of a crowd (group think).
It is rare to find someone who has the conviction to stand apart from the crowd and is willing to bet money on his
conviction. Vikas is that sort of guy. He bet on revival of Indian manufacturing at the peak of the first covid lockdown when
he launched the Shift Strategy. The performance of the fund demonstrates that he got it right.

Chaitanya Desai, MD - Apar Industries


Carnelian tries to achieve an absolute long term consistent return with substantial alpha keeping in mind the risk reward
ratio. They are pretty much modern in their investments but also traditional when it comes to capital protection utilising
their expertise in Forensic Accounts.
Their culture is such that fiduciary duty to the clients is at the heart of all their actions and processes. We are definitely
IMPRESS'ed by their approach to their investments.

What our investors say..
Apurva Parekh, Executive Director - Pidilite Industries
I am impressed by the fund’s vision, investment philosophy, diligence process and long term approach. I have known
Vikas Khemani for many years. He has deep domain knowledge and sound understanding of Indian businesses and
economy. This has allowed Vikas to consistently identify superior businesses and trends ahead of the market.

Russell Mehta, MD – Rosy Blue India


Have known Vikas for many years now and I love/admire his enthusiasm, passion and aggression to invest which is very
well and equally balanced with deep and meaningful research, level headedness and receptiveness. He has canny ability
to foresee trends!

Yogesh Agrawal, MD – Ajanta Pharma


I was confident of Vikas’ s ground up experience in investing which earned him sharp acumen in spotting the businesses
that have potential to provide above index returns. Today, I can confidently say that Carnelian has lived up to the promise
and delivered me sound and much above index returns so far. I am fully assured about the long term performance
of Carnelian fund and would strongly recommend them to others. I wish team Carnelian all the best and healthy growth
in future.

Yogesh Mahansaria, MD – Mahansaria Tyres India


Vikas and his team have a great passion for investing, clarity of thinking, and deep research capabilities - all of this gave
us lot of confidence to be an early investor in Carnelian Funds. Their performance over time has validated our confidence,
leading us to enhance our investments with them over time; one of the best performing funds in our portfolio.

Sohil Chand, Senior Advisor, NVP India


I have known Vikas for a while & been an investor since early days. It has been the best performing PMS in my portfolio
over 20 PMSes!
