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.

MSCI crossed the 20 years in India milestone and Baer Pettit our President and COO, joined us for the celebrations across our offices in India. Baer Pettit spoke with ram sahgal, Sr Asst Editor at Livemint Some of key insights from his interview 🌏 India is ranked as the sixth largest by weight in the MSCI ACWI IMI (all-country world investable market index) and the second largest in the MSCI EM IMI (emerging market investable market index), rising from the 13th and 4th positions each in 2020. 🌏 The #MSCI India IMI Index, which covers approximately 99% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the Indian equity universe, is a component of these broader indexes and represents the Indian equity opportunity set. 🌏 MSCI private-capital data indicates that Indian private markets have also seen substantial growth over the past decade, paralleling the expansion observed in its public markets 🌏 Private investment in #energy #transition projects, particularly in India, remains relatively modest which may have opportunities in the upcoming years 🌏 Broader trend suggests that India is poised to become an increasingly important part of foreign investors' portfolios. 🌏 #Privateassets are becoming a larger share of #institutional portfolios which leads to the need for greater transparency and tools to help investors track their investments, support their strategic decisions, but also for more specialized tools in areas like pricing, liquidity, attribution, and risk. #MSCI #Index #Analystics #PrivateCapital #ESG #Investment #passiveinvesting #ETFs #India

India’s emergence as a fast-growing economy and a vibrant startup ecosystem has caught the attention of global private capital for years. Private equity and venture capital firms from all over the globe have transformed the local investment landscape, collectively investing billions of dollars in Indian companies. The country is now home to the PE/VC industry’s who’s who, from storied VC players like Tiger Global Management, SoftBank and Sequoia/Peak XV Partners to prominent PEs such as Warburg Pincus LLC, The Carlyle Group, KKR, Blackstone and CVC CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED. Even during the funding decline, PE-VC deal activities in India touched $39 Bn in 2023, returning to the pre-Covid-19 levels. Its role in Asia-Pacific PE-VC activity is also growing significantly. In 2023, India accounted for nearly 20% of all PE-VC investments in APAC, up from 15% in 2018. https://lnkd.in/gcNasxHD

We at LeapFrog Investments are strong believers in the India story for impact investments. As I mentioned to Jaden, India has a lot of potential. It’s not a five-year story, it’s hopefully a 25-year story.... the reasons being growth, depth of talent, digital public infrastructure, and the depth of capital markets. Thanks to Jaden Paul for the interview in Business Standard. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gyV-UTAv

It is often said that Impact investing does not deliver financial returns. At C4D Partners, we are proving this wrong. Our Fund 1 has already achieved a 51% DPI on the India portfolio within 6 years of fund life, delivering a robust IRR. We’re not just about investing for impact, but also prioritizing strong, sustainable financial returns. We carefully select companies that are cash flow positive and demonstrate a clear path to profitability within a couple of years of our investment. This has enabled us to keep our mortality rate under 20%, lower than the industry average. Our approach - We invest in early-growth stage companies that are well-governed and on a clear path to positive cash flows, and be there for the long haul. Our approach comprises not just capital infusion, but active involvement in fostering a culture of transparency, operational excellence and sustainable value creation. We position our investments for sustainability and success in an ever-evolving market. If you’re a startup or investor interested in partnering with us, or just curious to learn more, let’s connect.

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

As a woman founder, I firmly believe in the profound influence of rural sanitation. It’s not just about cleanliness; it’s essential for a peaceful and prosperous community. Sadly, 21% of rural households in India lack toilets, which increases health dangers and puts women and girls at greater risk of violence. At Aviom India Housing Finance Private Limited, we uphold the principle that access to sanitation in rural regions is a fundamental right, not a privilege. The lack of equitable sanitation facilities amplifies socio-economic disparities, placing a disproportionate financial burden on underprivileged communities. This inequity not only fosters resentment but also obstructs societal advancement, particularly for women and girls who face additional barriers in obtaining safe water and essential services. Let's work towards a future where every individual, regardless of their gender or socio-economic status, has access to basic sanitation facilities. #RuralSanitation #AviomIndia #HealthHazards #ViolenceRisks #WomenEmpowerment #EqualAccess #SocioEconomicInequalities #BasicServices #PeacefulFuture

AAAIM HIGH ELI's latest podcast “Capitalizing on Indian Equity Markets with Downside Protection" featuring Vishal Bhutani, CIO, AMS Children's Fund is now available for download via your favorite audio platforms including Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon, etc. Special thanks to Clark Cheng, CFA, FRM, CAIA and David Gaynes for co-hosting this podcast with me. Some of our favorite quotes from the podcast: On the unique relationship-driven nature of investing in India: "In India, it’s a very relationship-heavy business, but it’s fairly capital market-savvy and it’s fairly competitive in that nature. You won’t see sources of alpha just be available forever… You have to build relationships to create alpha. Yes, the markets have gotten more sophisticated, even in India, but still, I call India the stock picker’s heaven." On the changing nature of India's markets and the role of local expertise: "One thing I'm very clear is that the people who make money in India are going to be Indians. I think tourists don’t make money in markets anymore. You have to really know who you’re investing with. This is going in and coming out." On the importance of relationships and building a dedicated team to navigate India's diverse market: "India is not one country, India is one of many countries. The cultural diversity in India is enormous, nothing like we’ve ever seen anywhere else in the world. There are 20 something different languages, people are different, the culture is different, so that's why we are going to play a big role in this. Position our relationship managers all over India, they’re not going to be analysts. Their goal is to only build relationships with companies." #India #DEI #AAPI #HedgeFunds

#Bloomberg (Bloomberg) -- Mizuho Financial Group Inc. is considering making a push into a new area for the lender in India focusing on private equity and venture capital firms, seeking to tap some of the most prolific dealmakers in the country. Japan’s third-largest bank has held internal discussions on targeting this segment and is drawing up the potential talent pool that could lead this initiative, according to people familiar with the matter. The bank is looking to launch the effort as soon as next year, said the people, who asked not to be identified citing private information. The bank’s plan to target so-called financial sponsors — firms that invest in private businesses — mirrors efforts by global banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Deutsche Bank AG as well as domestic lenders like Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. and Axis Bank Ltd.A Tokyo-based spokesman for Mizuho spokesman declined to comment. https://lnkd.in/dFEd82Qw

Vitruvian Partners has appointed Kartikeya Kaji as its India head to lead expansion efforts in the growing market. Kaji, formerly a managing director at Kedaara Capital, brings extensive private equity experience from prominent firms like Clayton Dubilier & Rice and Temasek Holdings. Despite having a Mumbai office since 2021, Vitruvian lacked an India head until now. The firm, managing $17 billion globally, has notable Indian investments including BYJU'S and Pine Labs. With India's private equity landscape showing resilience, Kaji's expertise in financial services is expected to drive Vitruvian's growth strategy and enhance its investment operations in the region. #VitruvianPartners #PrivateEquity #KartikeyaKaji #IndiaExpansion #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialServices #Byjus #PineLabs #PEInvestment #GrowthMarkets #cxolanes
