Know more Minister Rajeevchandrasekhar

In 2005, he set up Jupiter Capital, with a vision to foray

into businesses of tomorrow in emerging new markets of
the globalizing economy of India. Currently, the only
position he occupies is that of Chairman, Jupiter Capital,
which was established with an initial investment of
US$100 million and today has investments and managed
assets of over 1 Billion USD ranging from technology to
transportation, logistical services to hospitality and
entertainment. Jupiter Capital marks his complete
transition from Techie to Manager to Investor. Jupiter
Capital has a team of professional managers that run the
day to day operations and investments.Jupiter Capital
has been successful in its investments and has earned a
solid reputation of spotting opportunities and good
managements/promoters with its diverse portfolio of
investee companies and creating valuable, innovative
and successful brands and franchises.Rajeev recognizes
he is a Member of Parliament who also earns his income
from business investments. As such he ensures that he
adheres scrupulously to all disclosures of Assets and
Interests required by Parliament and Parliamentary
Committees. He has gone further and, for example, puts
all his communication to Governments past and present
on his website. He has earned and built an impeccable
record of service and integrity in sharp contrast from
many other businessmen turned MPs whose conduct
that has unfortunately cast a shadow on businessmen
who try and enter Politics. For purposes of clarity, all
investee companies have their Boards, Chairpersons, and
Managements who are responsible for these companies,
and neither Jupiter Capital nor Rajeev is responsible in
any way for these companies or their operations.Rajeev
served as the youngest President of FICCI - India's apex
industry chamber in 2008-09. He was the first to strongly
advocate Governance reforms and caused FICCI to
initiate, way back in 2008, a series of seminars on
Governance reforms, including a Conference on
Administrative Reforms and Ethics in Governance which
for the first time, brought the Government and industry
together on the same platform to discuss the need to
reform Government.His success as an entrepreneur and
investor is the reason he believes in the future of India
lying in Entrepreneurship and Enterprise. It's a cause he
evangelizes to young Indians all over and he targets
neglected and ignored youngsters with his help and
mentorship. He has invested resources and time to
identify young entrepreneurs across India, including in
the neglected parts of the North East. The overwhelming
response of young entrepreneurs to his initiative for
nurturing entrepreneurs in Nagaland will soon see this
programme extend to Karnataka and Kerala.
