Our journey began in 1969, when Shri Jodh Raj Laddha laid the foundation for what would become one of India’s trusted financial advisory platforms—starting with insurance services in Kolkata.
By 1984, this vision took shape with the formation of JR Laddha Financial Services (JRL). We began by advising wealthy families and corporate houses across Eastern India—earning their trust with personalized financial insights and long-term strategies.
As the next generation took the reins, Mr. Arun Laddha expanded our presence in Eastern India. In 1994, Mr. Manoj Laddha moved to Mumbai, unlocking growth across Western and Northern India. Together, they transformed JRL into a full-spectrum advisory—adding Corporate Finance to our Wealth Management offering.
As client needs evolved, so did we. We expanded into Corporate Finance and later, Investment Banking—serving mid-market and institutional clients across India. Our expertise in both debt and equity markets positioned us as a strategic partner through complex financial milestones.
Our global ambitions took shape through our membership in the Pandea Global M&A network—a trusted consortium of independent firms across 30+ countries. This partnership has enabled us to support Indian businesses with cross-border ambitions, while also helping international firms enter the Indian market with confidence.
With innovation at our core, we launched a global investment platform focused on early-stage, tech-driven companies. In 2015, we introduced Unicorn Ventures, our flagship venture capital fund—supporting founders in social media, cloud, cybersecurity, and more.
To better serve Ultra-HNIs and family offices, we launched JRL Money offering bespoke, off-market investment solutions across asset classes. in India, called.
