Founding Partner
Pranav Mishra is the Founding Partner of Mishra United Group, the privately held New Delhi group he started in 2012. It operates five businesses — technology, oil and gas, corporate travel, automotive and real estate — under one balance sheet.
Pranav Mishra founded Mishra United Group in 2012 and serves as its Founding Partner. He is responsible for capital allocation across the group's five operating platforms, and for the standard the group applies to every acquisition: it does not buy what it cannot run itself.
The group is privately held and operates globally from its headquarters at Connaught Place, New Delhi. Its businesses share a balance sheet and a project delivery office rather than a customer base — each is capitalised to stand on its own and is measured on returns over a full cycle.
The screen applied to every deal is an operating one rather than a financial one. A production system, an offshore block, a blending plant, a travel programme and a let building are unrelated businesses that ask an owner the same question, and the group is organised to answer it rather than to trade around it.
“We are paid for patience, not for prediction.”
From the founding partner's note on the group's home page:
“I started this house with one operating contract and a rule I had not yet written down: never own something you cannot run yourself. Fourteen years on, it is still the only screen we apply to a deal, and the reason we have said no far more often than yes.”
“The five platforms in this portfolio look unrelated, and on the customer side they are. What connects them is duration. A production system, an offshore block, a blending plant, a travel programme and a let building all ask the same question of an owner — can you fund it through a decade nobody enjoys? That is the question we have organised the company to answer.”
