Vikram AGRAWAL

Vikram is a mission-driven, operationally-focused investment and management professional based in Dallas, Texas. Vikram is collaborating with Texan environmentalist, businessman, and philanthropist Trammell S. Crow on several initiatives where I have a dual mandate focused on leading investments and catalyzing impact. Through these roles, they have a mission to demonstrate to highly respectable and traditional investment and industry leaders (including other major family office principals) that investing in mission-critical infrastructure, resilience & security, and sustainability can drive both greater profitability/value creation for businesses and higher risk-adjusted returns for investors. In addition, Trammell and Vikram are seeking ways to bridge the political and ideological divides that exist in Texas and US convince other families, investors, and industry of the importance of “investing” in mission-critical infrastructure, resilience, and sustainability… and how all three lead to greater national security. 

Vikram is part of Trammell’s personal family office where he assists him with private investments, strategic advisory, and other initiatives. Trammell backed Vikram to launch American Resilience Partners (www.amrespartners.com) which is a Texas-based, mission-driven entrepreneurial private investment firm with an operationally-focused investment strategy targeting strategically-viable, established, and profitable North American businesses that have a significant Strategic Value Proposition and are at the forefront of providing critical solutions to our country's and world’s most pressing infrastructure, resilience & security, and sustainability challenges. 

In addition, Vikram's other role (not affiliated with AmRes in any way) is to help support EarthX (the environmental non-profit founded by Trammell) as a Senior Adviser and by helping lead its EarthxCapital team which is focused on helping connect and develop an ecosystem of investors, innovators, industry leaders, dealmakers, and other innovation ecosystem leaders focused on sustainability-focused investment & business innovation. EarthxCapital’s signature event of the year is the annual invitation-only E-Capital Summit which is a sustainability-focused investment and business innovation summit that includes an investment forum/conference with fireside chats with senior industry leaders, one-on-one investment and commercialization-related networking meetings, a pitch competition for early-stage and growth/late-stage innovators, a women’s symposium, and other networking events. In addition, we host an annual Family Office Summit connecting leading Texan, American, and global families/HNWIs for peer-to-peer learning on sustainability and conservation. One of my goals is trying to bridge the divide with traditional investors who may not have this area of a focus and to have them attend both events. Both events take place in Dallas annually around Earth Week (April 22). EarthX is also contemplating on hosting (or co-hosting) a philanthropy summit as well to be focused on the environment, sustainability, and conservation.
