Everstone Capital Asia is an Indian private equity firm established in 2006, currently headquartered in Singapore. Founded by co-founders Sameer Sain and Atul Kapur, Everstone operates globally, with offices based in London, New York City, Mauritius, and United Arab Emirates, in addition to India and Singapore.[2][3]

History

The company's origin can be traced back to Future Capital, a financial services firm that was established by Sameer Sain in partnership with Future Group in 2006.[4] Sain took over Future Capital’s private equity business in 2009 and teamed up with Atul Kapur, a former Goldman Sachs colleague, to form Everstone Capital.[5]

At first, the company began its operations in London. Soon after, they rapidly expanded, establishing five additional offices in Singapore, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Mauritius. Surprisingly, they made the decision to close their London office in 2008 and relocated their headquarters to Asia.[6]
