“SIFY is an Indian telco and data communications company that’s part asset lite services, part asset heavy infrastructure. The asset heavy side is mostly fixed telco assets and data centers, which it builds for itself and as a service for customers. They have six fully utilized data centers and four more under construction. It’s growing and profitable and it is our small bet on future Indian Internet penetration. The business is a bit more capital intensive than we normally like, and maybe not as “moat protected” but management is doing many things right and if they could improve collections, that alone would fund substantial CAPEX. It trades by my calculation at ~7x EBITDA.”
