About Odura Group

Building Australia's Most Trusted Private Equity Group

We're redefining private equity by combining institutional-grade expertise with a human-centered approach, empowering diverse founders to build generational wealth.

Our Story

Odura Group was born from a simple observation: Australia's small to mid-size business sector is rich with opportunity, yet underserved by traditional private equity. Too many great businesses struggle to scale, and too many talented migrant entrepreneurs face barriers to growth.

We saw a chance to bridge this gap—to bring institutional-grade capital, strategy, and systems to businesses that deserve them, while creating pathways for diverse talent to participate in wealth creation.

Today, we're proud to be Australia's premier private equity firm focused on people-powered growth. We don't just acquire businesses; we transform them, elevate them, and build legacies that outlast their founders.

Our approach integrates migrant talent and multicultural perspectives into the Australian business landscape, driving innovation and economic growth while strengthening communities. We believe that diversity isn't just good ethics—it's good business.
