A significant milestone on the Sarvagram journey and we are very excited to continue our support to the stellar team. When we invested in 2022, we saw a distinctive company which was serving an unaddressed segment in a very large market i.e middle class households in rural India. The narrative around rural financing has primarily focused on farmers and low-income populations. However, there's a huge gap in addressing the needs of the aspirational rural middle class—the 80-100 million households with annual incomes ranging from ₹3-5L, spread across multiple income sources. This demographic is eager to improve both their income levels and quality of life, yet their financial needs have often gone unmet. Banks and microfinance institutions have targeted agriculture or low-income women but the rural middle class is a large whitespace. Though they may have access to product financing like two-wheeler or car loans, a significant portion of their aspirations remains unaddressed. SarvaGram is stepping into this gap with a holistic, customer-centric platform that offers a diverse range of financial services—from lending products and farm mechanization solutions to insurance offerings — as opposed to a mono-line strategy, which we believe works better in denser urban markets. In addition to our thesis on rural lending, we have found working with the stellar team, led by Utpal Isser and Sameer Mishra, a collaborative and insightful partnership. Their exceptional execution and understanding of the rural market have enabled SarvaGram to create lasting impact and drive sustainable growth. It has been equally enjoyable to learn from their experiences and we truly appreciate the openness of team. We have also appreciated working with our co-passengers from #Elevar, #Elevation and #Temasek and look forward to the #Peak XV team. With this fundraise, SarvaGram is on track to continue its impressive growth trajectory and we are excited to be part of this journey of SarvaGram driving meaningful change for rural middle-class households.

After extensive research, our team at INVasset PMS has collectively produced an exclusive fundamental report on how CAPEX is a pivotal element of the India growth story. Capital expenditure (CapEx) is essential for long-term asset creation, upgrades, and economic growth. The interim budget boosted CapEx to ₹11.71 trillion for FY24, reflecting India’s focus on infrastructure and asset creation. Over the years, CapEx has shown an upward trend, peaking at 4.6% of GDP in the 2024-25 budget estimate. This growth signifies India’s commitment to sustainable development and economic efficiency. The trend analysis from 2016-17 to 2024-25 reveals significant investments in capital assets, with effective CapEx projected to reach ₹15.0 lakh crore in 2024-25. Investing in CapEx is crucial for enhancing economic performance and competitive edge. Visit now for more such insightful reports. https://lnkd.in/davhaab5

We are delighted to announce the close of Kedaara IV at USD 1.738bn, our fourth fund. We had a one and only close, and we completed the entire fund-raise in 4 months. This is an important milestone in Kedaara Capital's 12 year journey and comes at a time when the PE industry is fending off fierce headwinds and a challenging fund-raising environment. This is all thanks to our incredible family at Kedaara, where we have brought together a team with extremely sharp minds, diverse areas of expertise and a real passion to create a unique firm. It is made possible by the terrific entrepreneurs and owners of quality companies who give us the opportuity to partner with them. On top of that, we have an absolute solid set of thoughful Limited Partners/Investors who have backed us from our start in 2011, and continue to do so today, despite various challenges in the macro and the micro which crop up occasionally. And of course, a final thanks to our friends at Clayton Dubilier & Rice, who we partnered with early on in our journey... For us, with all humility, this is just the beginning... At the end its never about size, its about performance. Its about giving back many times more than what we take - to our investors, to our portfolio companies, and to our team - As India sets itself for even bigger strides in the coming decade, we hope that we, as Kedaara Capital, can play our small role in accerating that, even as we provide disproportionately high (relative to the risk taken) returns to our Limited Partners... As always, we welcome your thoughts.... https://lnkd.in/dWYePTKg
