SOBTI & SOBTI is a global private investor with interests in Hotels, Fast Food Franchises and Real Estate. The firm was founded with a vision to tap into the resurgent consumer and real estate markets in growth economies and regional business hubs.
SOBTI & SOBTI is the genesis of three generations of entrepreneurial investors, building on the humble beginnings of a personal investment in real estate by Om Prakash SOBTI in 1969. With very basic education qualifications but a lot of business acumen, O.P. SOBTI had the foresight to invest in the post-Independence resurgent India. He took his son, Kuldeep SOBTI under his wing, who then went on to establish a solid foundation of self-sustaining investments in the country. Pradeep and Akshay are the third generation, internationally educated and in-charge of growing the investment portfolio globally. Together, they have a team with a proven track record of success in achieving superior returns through investment, development, asset enhancement, and operations.
KULDEEP SOBTI
Investor & Mentor
A thoroughbred entrepreneur, Kuldeep SOBTI started out very young spending most of his time traveling around with his father as he ventured to make small investments in real estate.
The journey to success was laden with incessant toil and a daily fight against tremendous odds. During this time, Kuldeep developed his entrepreneurial flair observing his father during negotiations. Kuldeep’s strength became his ability to understand the needs and desires of the business traveller – mainly, to provide a comforting night’s sleep to the weary traveller. This was a winning formula in the post-independence India as the business and economic foundations started to get laid. Keen financial acumen drove Kuldeep to expand his investments into fast-moving residential and commercial real estate. Today, Kuldeep SOBTI is a mentor to SOBTI & SOBTI and his two sons Pradeep and Akshay.
PRADEEP SOBTI
Founder & Director
Pradeep SOBTI is responsible for identifying and qualifying investment opportunities, specifically risk-reward and market analysis, finance, partnership structuring, and negotiations. His judgement of sound investment is not just based on the return on investment, but also the organisational culture, a customer-first mindset, and medium to long-term employee commitment to the business.
Pradeep has a variety of business and management experience under his belt, having worked across the global banking and forex management, hospitality, and furniture manufacturing industries in the U.K. and India. Pradeep holds a Masters in International Finance from the University of Westminster (London) and a Bachelors in Business Management from the London South Bank University.
I’m not just a numbers man. You can’t afford to be a one-trick pony in the current market. While risk and reward go hand-in-hand, sound investment strategies must also be built around the various stakeholders, cultural intelligence and management values. I see these as the three important quotients of success – SQ, CQ and MQ.
