about us
"80% of the impact comes from 20% of the causes" - Vilfredo Pareto
Taking inspiration from the Pareto Principle, the ‘80/20 rule’ devised by the famous Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto, we decided to call ourselves Pareto Capital.
We place a strong emphasis on applying Pareto's Principle in any given situation. We believe that by 20% of factors, one can achieve 80% impact. With our sizeable network and substantial experience, we identify these 20% of factors that can have a profound impact on your business goals. Here’s where our speciality lies:
For Clients: Work with select clientele, with commitment though their life cycle
For Employees: Very selective in hiring, focused on efficient and self-motivated task force
For Deals: Work on select deals ensuring greater focus and real-time availability
We have equipped ourselves with all the skills and insights in identifying the most crucial elements to give your end goals a more profound impact and yield the best results.
