Mohnish Pabrai is a value investor, author, and philanthropist who has achieved remarkable returns by following the investment principles of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. He is known for his "Dhandho" approach and his charitable work through the Dakshana Foundation.

Pabrai Investment Funds

Pabrai founded his investment funds in 1999 with $1 million. Using a concentrated, value-oriented approach, he generated returns of over 1,100% from 2000 to 2018, significantly outperforming the S&P 500.

The Dhandho Framework

Pabrai's book "The Dhandho Investor" outlines his investment philosophy, inspired by the Gujarati Patel community's approach to business: "Heads I win, tails I don't lose much." He looks for low-risk, high-uncertainty situations.

Lunch with Buffett

In 2007, Pabrai and Guy Spier paid $650,100 at a charity auction to have lunch with Warren Buffett. This experience deepened his commitment to Buffett's principles and philanthropy.

Dakshana Foundation

Pabrai founded the Dakshana Foundation to help underprivileged students in India gain admission to top engineering schools. The foundation has helped thousands of students transform their lives.
