A part of BlokTrek Inc., PrivateBlok is a product by seasoned financial professionals, Dimple Sadhwani and Sachin Manchanda.

PrivateBlok goes beyond traditional data providers and supports investment intelligence, investor reporting and portfolio tracking workflows. Its advanced GenAI-powered platform collects vast amounts of public and proprietary data into a knowledge repository, interpreting and generating insights on companies and themes. Its AI adapts to the investor’s unique viewpoint and analysis methodology through custom reports or direct conversations in its proprietary ‘Byz’ interface. Users can quickly and reliably gain insights from extensive amounts of both internal content and external data, maintaining complete confidentiality and privacy.

Speaking on leveraging PrivateBlok’s advanced capabilities, Shuchi Pandya, Principal at Fireside Ventures said, “At Fireside Ventures, we have always explored the use of newer technologies that enhance and optimise our investments. Simultaneously we continue to scout for newer and emerging consumer brands that can be added to our portfolio. India is a very exciting market and a fast-moving one and PrivateBlok’s Gen AI Copilot assists us in these processes.”

“PrivateBlok is revolutionary and simple to use. Its advanced capabilities have been aiding in speedy and informed decision-making. We are excited to see how the product evolves. We believe it possesses the potential to drive growth in terms of investments in the private sector in India,” said Shiv Sehgal, President and Head, Nuvama Capital Markets.

Serving as PrivateBlok’s Chief Executive Officer, Sachin Manchanda, said “We believe private markets globally are uniquely positioned for growth. Capitalising on this growth potential, we believe the launch of PrivateBlok is well-timed. We aim to help maximize one’s chance of investing in a future unicorn through a transformed due diligence process that navigates vast amounts of data to generate unique insights with speed and accuracy. We are confident that the platform will serve as a copilot supporting investors throughout their investment journey – from sourcing and researching to monitoring, tracking and exiting.”
