A long-term home for a business you built to last.
PRAN Holdings acquires one exceptional business — and operates it with the hands-on commitment, care, and accountability its founder deserves.
“I've spent 20+ years in consumer and retail — owning nearly every part of a business (customers, finance, marketing, merchandising, people, operations, revenue, strategy, and technology) except the business itself. When I left my corporate role, I asked myself one honest question: could I do this end-to-end, when the outcome is entirely mine? PRAN Holdings is my answer. Now I'm looking for a founder who's ready to sell their business to someone who will treat it like it's everything — because for me, it will be.”
— Niten Kapadia, Founder, PRAN Holdings
A thoughtful transition,
led by an operator
PRAN Holdings is led by Niten Kapadia, an operator with 20+ years of experience leading and growing businesses across several different industries.
Most recently, he served as the Chief Operating Officer of Hodinkee, a NY-based content and commerce company, which was acquired by the Watches of Switzerland Group. Previously, Niten worked at Farfetch, the global marketplace for luxury, where he led Operations and helped launch Beauty by leading the acquisition of Violet Grey, a luxury beauty retailer based in Los Angeles. Niten developed his career at Tesla and Apple, holding operational and leadership roles. At Tesla, he led sales teams across Southern California and Hawaii. At Apple, he spent 13 years leading retail locations throughout the Los Angeles area. Niten holds MBA degrees from UCLA Anderson and the National University of Singapore, and a BS from the University of Texas at Austin.
Niten is now focused on acquiring and operating one business for the long term — not flipping or reselling, but continuing what makes it successful. This is a personal commitment. PRAN Holdings is not a fund or a financial buyer. It is a long-term home for a business built to endure.
Capital is in place, lending relationships are established, and he is committed to a thoughtful and respectful transition process.

What Working With Us Looks Like
Selling a business is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make. We've designed a process that is transparent, respectful of your time, and built around your timeline — not ours.
-
A confidential, no-pressure call to get acquainted. We want to understand your business, your goals, and what a successful transition looks like for you. There's no obligation, and nothing leaves that conversation without your permission.
-
Before you share anything sensitive, we sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement. Your financials, your customers, your people — all of it stays completely confidential.
-
Once the NDA is in place, you share the information you're comfortable sharing — financials, operations, customer overview. We do our homework quietly and come back with informed questions, not a barrage of requests.
-
If there's mutual interest, we submit a written offer. An Indication of Interest gives you a sense of valuation and structure early. A Letter of Intent formalizes the terms and, once signed, establishes a period of exclusivity so both sides can move forward with confidence.
-
A thorough but respectful review of financials, legal documents, contracts, and operations — typically 30 to 60 days. We aim to be organized, efficient, and considerate of the demands on your time.
-
Our attorneys draft the Purchase Agreement. We negotiate in good faith, with the goal of reaching terms that work for both sides. This is where the details get finalized.
-
Funds are transferred, and ownership changes hands. You stay on for an agreed transition period — typically 30 to 90 days — to introduce us to the team, customers, and vendors you've spent years building relationships with. We don't just take the keys and disappear.
Most transactions take between three and nine months from first conversation to close. We move at the pace that's right for you.
