Ravi and Pratibha Reddy

Ravi and Pratibha Reddy have been highly successful entrepreneurs as well as investors over the past twenty years. As founders of Think Systems with their partner Sandeep Tungare, the Reddys guided the company from a three person startup to a leading demand management software company that was acquired by i2 Technologies in 1997. As the market for technology related companies grew rapidly in the late 1990s, the Reddy and Tungare families formed Think Capital in order to manage and diversify their investment portfolio with a specific focus toward making private equity related investments. Over the years, Think Capital has focused on energy, real estate, and software and IT services. Ravi and Pratibha Reddy are pleased to continue supporting SKS as a non-banking financial corporation (NBFC) to enable it to achieve its ambitious growth plans.
