History

The origin of the company can be traced back to Future Capital, a financial services firm that was established by Sameer Sain and Atul Kapur in partnership with Future Group in 2005. [4] Sain and Kapur took over Future Capital's private equity business in 2006 to form Everstone Capital. [5]

At first, the company began its operations in London. Soon after, they rapidly expanded, establishing five additional offices in Singapore, India (Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore) and Mauritius. In 2008, it relocated their headquarters to Asia. [6]

In 2018, Everstone opened its office in New York. [7]
