Global Focus • Emerging Market Priority

Changoo & Associates operates under a global mandate with a clear emphasis on stable, non-conflict emerging markets. We prioritize assets and platforms that demonstrate intrinsic financial merit, structural readiness, and alignment with our sectoral theses. Bankability, governance, and execution credibility remain non-negotiable.

    • Preference for ring-fenced SPVs, concession/PPP frameworks, and enforceable off-take structures.
  • Structural Readiness
    • Demonstrated permitting pathway, verified land/title, EPC/operator alignment, and executable delivery plan.
  • Governance & Reporting
    • Audit-ready financials, transparent sponsor groups, enforceable security/recourse frameworks, and reporting to institutional standards.
