Sound familiar?
A strong record, told as a list of funds.
- 01Your resume lists funds you’ve managed. It doesn’t show how you think.
- 02You can’t publish all your numbers, so your resume says almost nothing instead.
- 03You’re seen as a stock-picker, not someone who can run an investment team.
- 04Your process carried the fund through two corrections. Nobody outside the committee knows.
- 05Family offices and AIFs are hiring. They can’t find you.
- 06You negotiate terms on every deal, except your own carry.
Investment leaders are hired on three things: a credible record, a repeatable process, and how they handle risk and people. Most resumes give a list of funds and stop there.

Questions, answered.
How do you show performance I can’t disclose publicly?
We describe it in compliant terms: relative ranking, consistency, risk-adjusted results and process. Never figures you’re not permitted to share.
Why ₹1,20,000?
It isn’t a resume. It’s full positioning, five live sessions, negotiation until you sign and a year of counsel. On investment packages, carry and deferral terms alone can be worth far more than the fee.
Do you understand AMCs, AIFs, PMS and PE?
Yes. We research the platform and mandate you’re targeting before writing, so the language matches the room.
I want to move to a family office. Is that a different story?
Yes. Families look for breadth, discretion and long-term judgement. We position you for that.
How is confidentiality handled?
An NDA is signed before the first substantive call. Only Prashanth handles your files, and outreach is planned so your employer never sees a public search.
Will my resume pass ATS screening?
Yes. You get an ATS version alongside the executive version, without diluting how you read to a human.
Can you guarantee a role or a salary?
No one honest can. We strengthen your positioning and prepare your negotiation; hiring and pay decisions rest with the employer.
You’ve earned the record.
