Beyond the Investment: Seeing Growth in Action at Cilantro 

An investment becomes much more meaningful when you can see what it is helping to build. 

Recently, the Grand Towers team visited Cilantro, one of our investment portfolio companies, for an opportunity to step away from the numbers and spend time with the people and business behind the investment. 

It was an exciting visit—not just because we got to see the business in operation, but because we could see tangible progress since the beginning of our partnership. 

From growth in staff strength to milestones achieved and improvements across the business, the journey has been one of steady progress. And hearing this directly from the Cilantro team made the experience even more rewarding. 

During the visit, we had a brief conversation with the Managing Director and one of the managers at Cilantro about their experience since the partnership began. Their reflections reinforced something we believe strongly at Grand Towers: the right investment should create room for a business to grow. 

For us, this partnership has never been simply about providing capital. It has been about supporting a business with potential and being part of its journey as that potential becomes tangible progress. 

Seeing that progress firsthand is one of the most rewarding parts of investing. 

There is something particularly satisfying about walking into a business you have invested in and seeing more people, stronger operations, new milestones and a team that is clearly building forward. 

Cilantro's growth is a reminder that investment is not only about what you put in. It is also about what becomes possible afterwards. 

We are proud to be part of the journey and excited to see what the next chapter holds.
