RISHABH MARIWALA: FOUNDER & MANAGING PARTNER, SHARRP VENTURES

Rishabh Mariwala represents a new generation of investors who see capital not just as a tool for returns, but as a responsibility to build enduring, ethical, and category-defining businesses. As the Founder and Managing Partner of Sharrp Ventures, the Mariwala Family Office, he leads a multi-asset, long-term investment platform backed by patient capital and guided by conviction rather than short-term cycles.

Under Rishabh’s leadership, Sharrp Ventures has established itself as a trusted partner to founders, known for its strategic patience and deep belief in consumer-led growth. The firm has backed some of India’s most influential and disruptive brands, including Nykaa and Mamaearth, supporting them across stages while delivering consistently strong, top-decile performance. More than financial backing, Sharrp brings governance discipline, strategic insight, and a long-term mindset that allows founders to build with confidence and clarity.

Rishabh’s investment philosophy is shaped by his own entrepreneurial journey. From being part of the founding team that helped launch Kaya Life to creating Soap Opera, a handmade soap brand rooted in a family passion, he understands firsthand what it takes to build and scale consumer businesses from the ground up. This operator’s lens enables him to engage with founders as a true partner, not just an investor. A graduate of the Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University, he blends global exposure with a nuanced understanding of Indian consumer markets.

Beyond the boardroom, where he serves as a Director at Marico Ltd. and Kaya Ltd., Rishabh is deeply committed to sustainability and conscious living. A vegan for over a decade, he aligns his personal values with his professional mission, seeking to support businesses that scale responsibly while creating positive, long-lasting impact.

Rishabh Mariwala is not simply deploying capital. He is helping shape a more thoughtful, founder-aligned, and sustainable investment ecosystem, one where strong values, long-term vision, and meaningful growth go hand in hand.
