With decades of experience in the lifestyle industry. KRC Capital is a sophisticated and insightful global investor in hospitality, leisure, fashion, technology and real estate markets. Our network spans the globe, supported by a team of industry experts who use their local knowledge and worldwide reach to maximise all opportunities.

We believe in keeping things simple. We create transparency and alignment with all partners by leveraging our entrepreneurial expertise, institutional best practices, and hands-on management style.

These include mid-sized, international organisations in leisure and hospitality markets. We are also interested in real estate with strong growth potential and a globally scalable, unique brand proposition.

We initiate investments in solid, well-managed companies with an annual turnover of €25 million to €250 million – including spin-offs and buy-outs not related to the core business. Our investment criteria include a seat on the board to ensure influence over strategic decisions and to safeguard sustainable profit and cash flow. Existing management teams must be capable, experienced and motivated. An exit strategy is discussed after a typical investment period of seven to ten years.

As an independent private equity firm, we adopt a longer-term investment horizon. Without external pressure to terminate investments early, we are free to assess market conditions and plan our exit at a time that will maximise profit.

His interest in art grew vastly around the year 2000, when he started visiting art fairs, galleries and museums with curator Liesbeth Willems. In 2019, he revealed part of his spectacular collection to a wide audience for the very first time, with a debut at Art Rotterdam (one of the longest running art fairs in the world). The exhibition – entitled ‘Trouble in Paradise’ – then moved to Kunsthal Rotterdam for a nearly four-month run. Rattan Chadha personally selected works of art that reflect on human inadequacies, respond to the state of society and inspire a sense of commitment to the world. 

Divided into themes of Soul Searching, Delicious Confusion, and Forever Young, ‘Trouble in Paradise’ was designed to swing the viewer’s mood from melancholy to sex, drugs and rock’n’roll in a few steps. 

Select pieces from the KRC Collection can be seen in citizenM living rooms around the world. Art is an essential part of citizenM hotel design – from the façades to the interiors – and directly related to the character of the company. Like at a museum or in a gallery, the featured artworks are meant to inspire all guests. But unlike a gallery where art is admired from afar, art at citizenM makes everyone feel at home.
