The Hotz Group entered the financial services sector in the early 1990's to address India’s growing need for organised financial products and structured capital solutions. The Group began with Inter Corporate Deposits, Leasing and Hire Purchase, and Bill Discounting, complementing its existing public market investments and establishing a strong foundation in financial services. In 1996, Securities (One) India Limited was incorporated as a member of the newly launched National Stock Exchange. Positioned as a new-age, full-service platform, it offered clients a comprehensive bouquet of financial products. To consolidate lending and NBFC operations, Invest (One) India Limited was subsequently incorporated, bringing the Group’s financial services activities under a unified framework.
The Group’s financial services platform focuses on select corporate lending, NBFC activities, and portfolio investments in public markets. Operating with a disciplined and selective approach, the platform is designed to deliver stable, long-term value across market cycles. In addition, the Group actively invests in start-ups, taking direct equity positions as well as participating in syndicated investments alongside private equity and venture capital partners, enabling exposure to emerging growth opportunities.
