Listen before changing
The people closest to the work understand what makes a business special. I will begin by listening—to you, the team, and the customers.
I’m Prem Varghese, founder of Mile 38 Ventures. I’m seeking one enduring small business to personally own, operate, and grow with care.
Mile 38 represents a turning point in my life—the decision to take a less certain road and commit myself to building something enduring.
I share that journey with my wife, Rehma, a dentist whose work is also grounded in skill, care, and trust, and our golden retriever, Zeke. We understand that a business is rarely just an asset. It can be a family’s identity, security, and legacy.
That perspective shapes the kind of owner I hope to become: present, responsible, and committed to earning trust through consistent actions.
“The most meaningful part of the journey may still be ahead.”
My path has crossed countries, disciplines, and fresh starts. Each move taught me to learn the work, earn trust, and keep going when the road was uncertain. That is the mindset I would bring to a business entrusted to me.
I was born in Kuwait, the starting point of a journey that would take me across cultures and careers.
College in Bengaluru gave me a foundation in business, finance, and the discipline of learning something new.
A theological journey pushed me to think more seriously about service, stewardship, and the responsibility we have to others.
In accounting and shipping operations, I learned how much a business depends on details being right and people following through.
I moved to the U.S. and took on the work of building a career in a new country.
Corporate and advisory roles put me alongside people making consequential decisions. I learned to listen carefully, be accountable, and follow through.
I chose a path toward owning and operating one established business—not investing from a distance, but taking responsibility for its future.
Mile 38 Ventures is my commitment to find the right business, learn what made it strong, protect the legacy behind it, and lead its next chapter with care.
A business carries years of early mornings, hard decisions, loyal employees, and customers who learned to trust your name. Choosing who takes it forward is about far more than a price.
My career has been built around earning trust and taking responsibility for the details—from managing the daily accounting of a $60 million logistics business to guiding families and business owners through important financial decisions. I bring that same care to this search.
I am not looking to collect companies or manage from a distance. I am looking for one business where I can learn from the owner, stand beside the team, and take responsibility for its next chapter.

The people closest to the work understand what makes a business special. I will begin by listening—to you, the team, and the customers.
Your reputation, customer relationships, and culture were earned over years. My goal is to preserve those strengths, not replace them.
I am looking for one business to lead from the inside. Growth should be thoughtful, practical, and built to last—not rushed for a quick exit.
I’m seeking a healthy, established company with a proud history and room for steady, practical growth. I’m industry-flexible and especially drawn to businesses where service, trust, and people make the difference.
Every business is different. If the values align, I’d be glad to listen—even if every box isn’t checked.
My background spans accounting, financial planning, client operations, and benefit administration—including AGAM Logistics, Forsythe Findley Wealth Advisors, Paycom, and Cambridge Investment Research.
Direct, respectful, and always confidential.
