Our Roots

Lakkam was established eight years ago by Raju Lakkamraju, who envisioned creating an investment firm that stood apart from the traditional fast-paced environment of Wall Street.

Our story begins in New Jersey, where our family office was founded on the principles of hard work, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility. With humble beginnings, we started as a small, close-knit team dedicated to managing and preserving our family’s wealth. Over time, these values have remained at the core of our operations, driving us to expand our expertise while staying true to our roots.

Lakkam’s consistent success is a testament to this rigorous approach. By meticulously analyzing potential investments and making prudent, data-driven decisions, we have been able to deliver robust portfolio performance across varying market conditions. Raju’s vision of fostering a resilient and forward-thinking investment firm has become the foundation of Lakkam’s enduring success, positioning us as a trusted partner in the private equity space.

Strategic Leadership and Sustainable Investment Philosophy

Under Raju’s leadership, with a goal to offer unique and thoughtful approach to investing, one that emphasized strategic planning, long-term growth, and sustainability. Lakkam has distinguished itself as a private equity investor by adhering to a disciplined and methodical investment philosophy. This approach is rooted in comprehensive research and analysis, enabling us to identify and capitalize on opportunities that align with our long-term objectives. Raju’s emphasis on sustainable investment options has been instrumental in guiding our decisions, ensuring that we not only seek profitable ventures but also prioritize responsible and ethical investment practices.
