We start with the price and the risk. Our aim is to protect capital and earn a return that justifies the risks we take.
What we do
We look closely at where money goes, what it is expected to earn and what could stand in the way. That thinking carries through each part of our work.
We start with the purchase price and the money still needed to carry out the plan. Then we ask what happens if rents disappoint, costs rise or a sale takes longer than expected. Protecting capital is central to that assessment.
Price · costs · risk
An acquisition, a financing decision or a change in the business can be hard to judge from inside it. Our advisory work is intended to help owners examine the assumptions, compare the choices and decide what to do next.
Acquisitions · financing · business decisions
We are exploring where AI can help with the work behind an investment decision. That includes finding information, checking documents and preparing analysis. Any benefit has to hold up after the cost of checking and correcting the output.
Less repetitive work · careful checking · measured results
How we would use AIAI at work
A tool may produce a draft quickly and still leave someone with hours of checking. We would count that time, along with software, setup and upkeep, before deciding whether it helps.
Work in developmentStart with work that takes too long or produces too many errors. Record how it is done today and what it costs.
A task worth testingUse a limited set of documents. Decide who checks the result and what happens when the tool gets something wrong.
A test with clear limitsCompare the result with the current way of working. Include mistakes, corrections and ongoing costs before expanding the test.

Chirag HathiramaniCo-Founder, Seva Capital
We are cautious investors. Before considering the upside, we want to understand how the investment could lose money.
Chirag’s experience includes evaluating real estate investments, acquiring properties and overseeing assets and portfolios. He has worked with developers and operators across several property types.
That experience informs the questions behind Seva’s approach. What are we paying? What assumptions are we relying on? How much room is there for things to go wrong?
