Navdeep Singh Pundhir, Founder and Managing Director of Caelis Ventures, embodies a rare blend of conviction, discipline, and visionary thinking. He is a Chemical Engineer from the prestigious NIT Trichy (2010-14) joined the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) at the remarkably young age of 24 in 2016 as Manager. Having served for almost 9 years as a career central banker, he chose to step away from a secure and prestigious public service career at age 32 in 2025 to pursue his lifelong ambition: to become a professional investor.
Navdeep has devoted himself to the art and science of investing, a commitment reflected in his long-standing positions in high-conviction multi-bagger stocks . He is widely respected for identifying trends ahead of the curve and initiating bold, concentrated positions that have consistently outperformed the market. His stock portfolio has delivered returns that surpass every major benchmark, demonstrating exceptional capital allocation ability.
He documents his thoughts on investing, market cycles, and capital stewardship on his blog
He is joined in this journey by his wife and co-founder, Aayushi Singh who serves as Director on board of Caelis Ventures. Aayushi is a UGC-NET qualified former professor turned entrepreneur who brings her expert insights in ethical governance and brand-building on board. Caelis Ventures is an extension of this duo’s journey—a serious, institutional attempt to scale into a world-class investment firm. This company is not a vanity project but a deeply personal mission to go from "zero to billion" while upholding transparency, discipline, and long-term thinking.
