Siddharth Pillai

Having grown up in India and now calling Singapore home for over a decade, Sid’s journey into consumer investing began in retail operations. During his six years with DFI’s Health & Beauty banner, he developed an appreciation for how consumers think, shop, and make choices - sparking a lasting curiosity about what makes brands truly click.

Armed with an MBA from INSEAD, Sid chose to pivot from operating within brands to partnering with the founders building them, working alongside early-stage entrepreneurs to craft category-defining consumer businesses across the region.

Outside of work, Sid is a fitness enthusiast who finds any excuse to stay active. A national player in the niche sport of underwater rugby, he’s always happy to talk about it… though fair warning, once he starts, he rarely stops.
