Terra Invest, a new investment firm supported by prominent Asian family offices and funds, including Mount Row Partners, has launched operations simultaneously in London and the UAE. Led by a team of seasoned financial professionals and public policy experts, Terra Invest aims to bring innovation to the investment sector.

The firm distinguishes itself by combining policy and regulatory knowledge with financial expertise.

By targeting and overcoming obstacles in sectors like AI, blockchain technology, and health and life sciences, Terra Invest seeks to foster rapid growth and create substantial positive global impact.


Terra Invest's strategy aligns with the dynamic innovation environment in India, which boasts a thriving AI ecosystem and a growing need for scalable solutions. The firm plans to invest in companies with clear growth potential across various sectors, capitalising on the region's strong technology hubs and emerging economies.

By investing in the UK, India, and the Middle East, Terra Invest leverages established technology hubs, emerging markets, and the increasing demand for innovative solutions.

Ambassador Wagar emphasised the importance of geopolitical awareness in today's investment climate, stating, "Understanding macro and micro political changes is crucial. This foundation helps anticipate and navigate risks, understand market dynamics influenced by political events, and make informed decisions to protect and enhance portfolios. Investors must be aware of geopolitical trends to identify opportunities and avoid pitfalls, ensuring more resilient and strategic investment choices in an unpredictable world."
