Amaya Capital focuses on developing and investing in projects and businesses which have the opportunity to become impactful, large scale, platform enterprises through development and/or acquisition opportunities. Our team and our advisors, financing partners and strategic relationships bring deep business, financial and operating experience in the energy, business services and infrastructure related sectors across emerging markets.

People often ask what motivates us to keep operating in difficult environments that resist change, when an easier path was always available. A few things, honestly.

There's the chance to build a large scale business that helps grow industries, creates jobs and opportunities, and changes lives in the communities and country where it operates — not abstractly, but in a real tangible way.

A satisfaction to prove that we can overcome the skeptics and experts who say 'it cannot be done'.  Our mindset is not constrained by thinking and paths that have been (often unsuccessfully) followed by others before but by an attitude that "In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities but in the expert's mind there are few" (Shunryu Suzuki, 'Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind').  Without that philosophy, we would struggle to take risks and progress.  

It's also hugely rewarding to work with and mentor bright, hardworking and decent people who have similar values, share the same sense of purpose and want to travel on the same journey with us.  Furthermore, if the individual's sense of purpose is aligned with that of the company they work in, this creates a more sustainable future for both the individual and the organisation itself.

And finally, we only choose projects that we love to get involved in, where we can work with the people we want to work with, and as a result hope to obtain a great sense of fulfillment from the time we spend on those opportunities and challenges.
