Jigar K Shah, who previously worked as a venture capitalist and fund manager, has been overseeing all of Deepika Padukone's financial assets at KA Enterprises since 2020. Describing their approach, Shah explained that they operate KA Enterprises similar to a standard venture firm. The investment amounts typically fall between Rs 3 crore and Rs 5 crore.

When considering potential investments, the focus lies on the unique value proposition a company offers, along with having defensible moats. Shah emphasized the importance of evaluating the team and their execution abilities before deciding on funding. In a March interview with BT, he highlighted the comprehensive approach they take in shaping their investment strategy.
