Founder and Principal
Anant Shukla
Founder of Asia Investors Society. He sets the doctrine and approves every introduction.
Capital, operations and construction, priced by someone who has carried each.
Anant has spent fifteen years in institutional real estate capital markets, working across hospitality, operating assets and construction.
He leads Asia Investors Society as its accountable human. He sets the Investment Doctrine, and he approves every introduction before it reaches a counterparty.
The mix is deliberate. Capex and completion risk are priced by an operator who has carried them, which pure capital advisors rarely see.
