Postcard from India

Field notes on long-term investing, compounding, and the quiet transformation of India

I’m Ravi Srivastava, a long-term investor who believes in patient compounding, on-the-ground research, and the value of independent thinking. For over a decade, I’ve spent my time not in headlines, but in factories, kiranas, bank branches, and boardrooms — listening quietly, asking questions, and learning how real businesses grow. Recently, I co-authored a book on this topic called Postcards from India, which chronicles my journey of investing in India over the last decade.

This isn’t a pitch.

This is a collection of quiet observations — drawn from research trips, deep work, and the long arc of India’s economic journey.

If you care about:

- Long-term investing

- India’s emerging structural tailwinds

- Grounded insight over consensus noise

...this space might speak to you.

No forecasts. No trends. Just postcards — from the field.
