Insist Invest
Insist Invest is the private investment vehicle of R Suresh and family. R Suresh is a pioneer in executive search, talent and leadership consulting in India, with over 30 years of experience. He founded, grew and successfully exited two market-leading firms — Stanton Chase India, acquired by Recruit Holdings, and People One Consulting, acquired by Adecco.
Having partnered with 500+ businesses — from early-stage ventures to large enterprises — R Suresh brings a rare vantage point: a deep understanding of what makes leaders and organisations succeed. This network and insight is what Insist Invest brings to its portfolio — practical guidance on identifying markets, hiring the right talent, and launching products that earn real-world acceptance.
Arjun Suresh, son of R Suresh, brings a decade of product development experience across drones, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. He has served in Product Leadership positions at Shield AI (backed by Andreessen Horowitz) and Uber ATG (now Aurora), and holds a Master's degree from Carnegie Mellon University.
The family office invests across private equity, fund of funds and early stage companies — with a focus on robotics, AI, healthcare and sustainability.
