About Irkalla

We are Entrepreneurs, Partners and Operators of companies that make a tangible impact in the world. Irkalla Capital is structured into two primary focus areas: Irkalla Investments and Irkalla Private Markets. Irkalla capital returns enable the charitable giving of the Irkalla Foundation.

Through Irkalla Investments we seek to maximise returns through long-term capital appreciation and above market returns without compromising on our values. 

Irkalla Private Markets transforms companies into global leaders and inspires the next generation of entrepreneurs. We deliver the triple jump, generating financial, societal and environmental returns through our partnerships and portfolio. 

Irkalla grew out of investing in micro and small businesses in frontier markets during the height of the financial crisis. Irkalla Capital brought together the Acquisitions team and the Performance Improvement team under a single roof. This enables us to acquire, work with and improve the profitability of our partner businesses throughout the entire deal cycle. 

Our internal Performance Improvement team have deep experience from the top Consulting firms in operational excellence and management to support our businesses grow revenue and margin. Our internal consultancy enables us to make improvements and see them through. 

After years of successfully transforming and growing businesses we launched Irkalla Capital to bring together the capabilities of our Public Markets team and the experience of our Private Market SMEs.

Our global footprint enables us to invest and partner with business across a diverse range of industries and geographies. Our businesses are at the cutting edge of solving critical issues across the world including Supply Chain management, food security, CO2 reduction, Digitalisation and financial education. 

Great businesses can be built anywhere and seize market share while improving the overall global environment. We believe that many overlooked geographies offer the best possible places for start-ups, driving by passionate people who personally understand the challenges they seek to solve. Solving complex issues and challenges is a team effort, bringing together the best and brightest companies, both mature and emerging, enables Irkalla to capitalise on the collective wisdom and experience of our diverse stakeholders. 

We are proud to work with a broad range of people and cultures and always seek to be a force multiplier for good.
