THE FOUNDERS
The people behind it.
Paul Joseph
Designated Partner
Paul Joseph has spent 19+ years in senior commercial leadership across telecom, fintech, IT services, and consumer electronics, managing a portfolio worth over US$150M. He is a CUMAC Associate Cinematographer (AC-286) and the cinematographer behind Life of Elsa. Inside Gallivant he leads the media, property, and B2B businesses — the operator’s half of a two-person company. He builds the way he shoots: in low light, with a plan, and nothing left to chance.
Minu Joseph
Partner
Minu Joseph leads Portus Immigration, Gallivant’s UAE immigration advisory, and the group’s Gulf-facing relationships across the Emirates.
What we are
What Gallivant Ventures LLP is — and is not
Gallivant Ventures LLP is a holding company, not a fund. It owns and operates businesses, holds real estate, and manages a library of brand assets — all built and run by the same two people since inception. There is no outside capital to answer to and no investment committee to convince, which means every decision is direct and every relationship is ours to keep.
A holding company, not a fund
That structure is deliberate. A founder-led holding company can take positions a fund cannot: longer horizons, smaller bets, and operating involvement where it matters. You can see how that plays out across what we do and the full portfolio of ventures, properties, and brand assets.
As a registered LLP in Kochi, Gallivant Ventures LLP operates under the same framework as any Indian limited liability partnership, filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The registration is not a formality to us — it is part of how we keep the businesses, the assets, and the books clean and separable.
What Gallivant Ventures LLP is not is equally important. It is not a passive holder waiting for assets to appreciate, and it is not an accelerator running founders through a programme. It builds, backs, and holds — and it stays close to each business long after the structure is signed.
Two people, clean books
If any of that is a fit, the door is a conversation. We prefer long relationships over short exits, and we have built the company so that we never have to choose speed over judgement.
The two people behind Gallivant Ventures LLP are Paul Joseph and Minu Joseph. Paul leads the media, property, and B2B businesses and brings nineteen years of senior commercial leadership; Minu leads the Gulf-facing immigration advisory through Portus. Between them they cover the two markets the company is built around — India and the UAE — with no layer of management in between. That is the whole design of Gallivant Ventures LLP: a company small enough to decide quickly and experienced enough to decide well. It is also why the registration, the trademarks, and the books are kept deliberately clean. A holding company is only as trustworthy as its paperwork, and ours is structured so that any business, asset, or partner can be added or separated without untangling the rest.
Everything on this page can be verified. The LLPIN, the GSTIN, and the registered office are published here precisely because a founder-led company has nothing to gain from being vague. If you are weighing whether to build with us, back us, or lease from us, start from the facts — then start a conversation with the people who will actually answer.
