Who we are

Partners who work like part of your team.

Ethios Capital brings together Harsh Agarwal and Sagar Lalwani, combining experience in investment banking, equity research, private investments and financial planning. We help founders, investors and families make informed financial decisions.

Every mandate is led personally by a partner, start to finish. We keep our client list short on purpose, so you get real senior attention — not a junior team and a monthly status call.

How we work

No mystery. Just a process that works.

1

Understand

We dig into your business, market and goals before recommending anything. No copy-paste playbooks.

2

Position

We sharpen your story, materials and numbers so the right people lean in fast.

3

Execute

We run the process end to end — outreach, diligence, negotiation — while you keep running the company.

4

Close

We push every workstream through signing and closing. And we stick around after.

💡 Why "Ethios"? It comes from ethos — character and credibility, the trust you earn through how you act. That's the bar we hold ourselves to on every deal.
