Our Story

Our Philosophy

"Institutional investors are finally talking about the triple P - the Planet, the People and Profit".

As an investment firm, our mandate is to invest the capital of our clients for sensible long term returns without taking undue risks. It has been over 25 years since Quantum Advisors and its founders have included a "governance" factor when investing in companies. This is the "G" in "ESG".

In 2015, we started to focus on the other two factors (Environment and Social) and have built a proprietary framework on evaluating Indian companies on various ESG criteria.
