Jerry Rao is a well-known entrepreneur most famously known for starting Mphasis.
His latest venture is Value and Budget Housing Corporation (VBHC) of which he is the Executive Chairman
I was surprised to get this offer from VBHC which promises the investor an assured return of 15%
[gview file=”https://alphaideas.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chennai-Investment-Scheme-V1.pdf”]
Basically, VBHC is using the credit profile of the Investor to get itself low cost HFC funds.This is surprising as only last year, VBHC had raised funds from pedigreed investors like Carlyle group and IFC.
What happened Jerry?The money ran out?
