What is the size of the fund right now and what trends are you the most excited about and what are you looking for?

Our AUMs are excellent with $ 6 billion, while our previous fund was $ 1.3 billion. We focus on enterprise tech, financial services, pharma, healthcare, consumer, manufacturing and new and new areas. We are looking at the possibilities in construction, healthcare and financial inclusion, inspired by India’s growing assets and demand. We collect new funds every three-four years and make announcements at the right time.

How much growth in the Indian economy is expected in the next 5-6 years and what is your preparation for it?

We are expecting a 6-7 percent GDP (GDP) growth, including a 12–13 percent increase, including inflation. Paying attention to areas with 15-20 percent growth and strong market share profit can lead to more than 25 percent internal return rate (IRR). India’s strong talent pool and the sense of entrepreneurship are favorable for this growth.

How do you think the IPO landscape in India?

Indian capital markets are becoming more deep and flexible, as domestic savings are reducing the impact of foreign withdrawal. There are some obstacles in the path of the IPO market, but lists will continue despite better business cycles. We have 5-6 portfolio companies that are planning an IPO in the next 18 months.
