At Vedara Ventures, we believe great companies are built on wisdom, purpose, and disciplined growth. Our name reflects that belief: Vedara blends “Veda”—the Sanskrit word for knowledge and wisdom—with “Ara,” a nod to growth and progress. It captures our ethos in a single idea: grow with insight, operate with integrity, and invest for the long term.

A Generational Story of Building

Vedara Ventures is the natural evolution of decades of Patel family entrepreneurship. The journey began with hard work and resilience—one shop, one customer at a time—and has steadily expanded into a diversified holding company. What hasn’t changed is our orientation: we build for permanence, not headlines. We prioritize operational excellence, durable partnerships, and compounding value across generations.

Today, Vedara’s portfolio spans four core arenas:

• Hospitality: Ownership and management of hotel assets through Avasa Hospitality (est. 2022), focused on guest experience, operational efficiency, and brand stewardship.
• Real Estate & Development: Income-producing properties and ground-up developments that strengthen communities while balancing risk, return, and long-term potential.
• Automotive & Fleet: Collision and mechanical repair platforms serving consumers and national fleet partners with safety, compliance, and reliability at the core.
• Retail & Grocery: Community-serving stores with a focus on consistency, trust, and local impact.

By the Numbers

• $100M+ in annual revenue across the portfolio
• 250,000+ lifetime vehicles repaired
• 1,400+ hotel rooms under ownership
• 1,000,000+ square feet of real estate under ownership

These are not vanity metrics; they’re outcomes of consistent execution. We invest in teams and systems that scale quality—not just footprint.

How We Operate

1) Long-Term Orientation
We optimize for durable cash flow and future flexibility. That means buying right, improving operations, and holding assets long enough for good decisions to compound.

2) Operational Excellence
We’re operators at heart. Whether we’re turning around a shop, reimagining a guest experience, or elevating property performance, we focus relentlessly on processes, standards, and measurable outcomes.

3) People & Partnerships
We grow through trusted relationships—with brand partners, franchise systems, vendors, and the communities we serve. Great assets perform best when great people run them.

4) Disciplined Diversification
We concentrate in sectors we know (hospitality, real estate, automotive, retail) and diversify within them to balance cycles, stabilize returns, and unlock cross-portfolio synergies.

What We Do (and Why It Works)

Hospitality
We acquire, reposition, and operate hotel assets with a guest-first mindset and an owner’s discipline. Avasa Hospitality integrates revenue management, brand standards, and on-the-ground leadership to create consistent experiences and predictable performance.

Real Estate
Our real estate strategy blends stabilized holdings with select developments in high-potential submarkets. We prefer projects where we can add value operationally—through better maintenance practices, tenant mix, design upgrades, or community partnerships.

Automotive & Fleet
From collision repair to fleet maintenance, our automotive platform is built on safety, compliance, and uptime. For fleet clients, the KPI is simple: keep vehicles road-ready. For consumers, it’s trust in the workmanship and a clear, timely repair process.

Retail & Grocery
We operate and invest in stores that anchor neighborhoods—places where reliability and service matter as much as price. These are steady businesses with meaningful local impact.

Community Is a Strategy

We are deeply connected to the communities that helped build us—especially on Chicago’s South Side. Giving back isn’t a marketing program; it’s an operating principle. We prioritize local employment, supplier relationships, and initiatives that create shared value where we live and work.

Leadership with a Builder’s Mindset

Vedara’s leadership combines first-principles thinking with hands-on experience. We grew up in the business—from shop floors and counter service to multi-location platforms and hotel portfolios. That practical grounding helps us make better decisions, move faster, and keep our promises.

What We Look For

• Strong fundamentals with room to improve through operations, brand alignment, or capital planning
• Partnership-ready teams who share our values and want to build something enduring
• Clear value creation plans—from revenue optimization to cost structure, from guest experience to safety and compliance
• Fit within our ecosystem, where capabilities and insights transfer across assets

Let’s Build What Lasts

If you’re exploring an acquisition, partnership, or strategic investment, we’d love to start a conversation. We bring a builder’s mindset to every relationship—and we measure success in years, not quarters.

Vedara Ventures — knowledge to decide, discipline to operate, and the will to build what lasts.
