Success through investments & partnerships home investments partnerships contact home » investments » Investments and corporate development activities Ajanta divides the nucleus of its activities between direct investments and active corporate development activities. The core of the investment activities is participations in unlisted and listed companies primarily in communication industries, media companies and real estate in Finland and abroad. The other significant part of the company’s focus is corporate development activities, restructurings, corporate sales and mergers where Ajanta takes the role of an advisor, main strategist or the main catalyst. Our investment philosophy Ajanta has a long and successful track record in creating substantial financial value. Ajanta's philosophy is based on active ownership and corporate development activities that are focused on creating maximum shareholder value and financial gain and success. In achieving these targets Ajanta uses its broad and substantial domestic and international network and builds its strategy on rapid, systematic and professional execution. This chosen path allows Ajanta to create and execute both long-term holdings as well as opportunistic, shorter-term participations. Ajanta will continue to actively build operations and scale and thus strengthen the firm’s core competencies.
