Founder
Founder & Principal
Devendra founded Tidel Capital following a career as an entrepreneur and investor in the healthcare technology sector. He founded and scaled two healthcare technology companies, both of which were acquired by leading private equity firms.
That experience — building businesses from the ground up, navigating complex markets, and creating lasting value — shaped his approach to investing: patient, research-driven, and focused on quality.
The best investment outcomes are achieved through clarity of thought, deep research, and a willingness to wait.Devendra Saharia
Today, Devendra leads Tidel's investment activities across global public equities and real estate, applying the same discipline and long-term orientation that defined his entrepreneurial career.
His approach to capital allocation is informed by the practical experience of operating businesses — understanding unit economics, competitive dynamics, and what it takes to build something that lasts. This operational lens distinguishes Tidel's investment process from purely financial approaches.
Devendra is based in Dubai and oversees all aspects of the firm's investment strategy, research process, and portfolio management.
Career Path
Built and scaled a healthcare technology company from inception, developing solutions that addressed critical operational challenges in the sector.
Successfully exited the first venture through acquisition by a leading private equity firm, validating the business model and team he had built.
Applied lessons from the first company to build a second healthcare technology business, again growing it to a scale attractive to institutional acquirers.
The second company was also acquired by a leading private equity firm — confirming the repeatable nature of his approach to building enduring businesses.
Founded Tidel Capital in Dubai to manage the family's private capital, applying the same operational discipline and long-term mindset to public equities and real estate investing.
