What Kratos Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd does

Kratos Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd (doing business as KratosFunds) is a Mumbai-based private financial services firm founded in 2019 that delivers fund administration and fund accounting services to Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) managers in India. Its target segments include Category I and Category II AIFs, venture capital funds, angel funds, debt funds, and funds with foreign investment exposure. The company is privately held by a small group of senior executives from banking and financial services, led by CEO Mr. Mahesh Ghadi (CFA, finance master's, prior experience at Stock Holding Corporation of India, JM Financial Mutual Fund, and ZyFin) and Director Mr. Pratapsingh Nathani (prior roles across ING Vysya Bank, JM Morgan Stanley, ENAM, Centrum, Darashaw, JM Financial, and others in debt capital markets and investment banking).

The company's core product is the KratosFunds platform, a cloud-based, encrypted system organized into six modules: Contributor Onboarding/Servicing, Fund Accounting, Fund Administration, Compliance Management, Reporting & Portfolio Management, and Tax Compliance. Technical capabilities include automated reconciliation, customizable dashboards, real-time reporting, portfolio valuation tools supporting NAV calculations, automated compliance alerts, tax optimization tools, and multi-currency accounting with real-time exchange rate conversion. The platform supports the full fund lifecycle — from contributor onboarding and KYC management through drawdown notices, distribution letters, surplus cash reports, and portfolio company investment facilitation — and is configured to deliver SEBI quarterly reporting, trustee compliance reporting, RBI foreign transaction reporting, TDS payments and certificates, FATCA filings, and Form 64C/64D compliance for AIF structures.

The business operates a B2B professional services model targeting fund managers and investment firms through relationship-based enterprise sales led by the senior executive team. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client requirements, with no publicly disclosed fee schedules or pricing tiers. The firm claims global client reach with multi-country fund operations, though its operational footprint is concentrated at a single Mumbai corporate office at Siddhivinayak Chambers, Bandra East. No external funding, institutional investors, or parent company affiliations are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Apex Group: One of the world's largest global fund administrators with a broad alternatives practice and Indian presence. Competes with Kratos for cross-border AIF mandates and offers far greater scale and geographic reach.
• Citco: Global fund administrator with deep alternatives and hedge-fund expertise. Competes with Kratos for mid-to-large AIF mandates that require multi-jurisdictional administration and reporting.
• Maples Group: Global fund services provider combining legal, fiduciary, and administration capabilities for investment funds. Competes with Kratos for institutional AIF and offshore vehicle mandates.
• Vistra: Global corporate services and fund administration provider with significant alternatives exposure. Overlaps with Kratos on AIF and private fund administration services worldwide.
