India Catalyst Capital provides European investors with professional access to India's private markets. The focus is on venture capital and private equity funds that capture the growth of the Indian economy in its various facets.
India is one of the most dynamic major economies in the world. A young population, a growing middle class, rapid digitalization and extensive infrastructure investments form the foundation for broad growth – in both digital and physical realms.
In recent years, Indian private markets have evolved from a niche to a mature ecosystem with professional managers and clear exit paths in. At the same time, European institutional investors remain underrepresented in these markets.
Engagements in Indian VC and PE funds are associated with hurdles for many European investors:
We identify, review and select Indian fund managers and compile a diversified portfolio of venture capital and mid-market private equity funds. Our long involvement in the market and good relations give us access to otherwise oversubscribed funds.
We connect European governance standards with local market and cultural competence in India. This not only allows sensible investment decisions, but also ensures that information, expectations and strategies are clearly communicated between European investors and Indian managers.
Our portfolio is designed for diversification across sectors, development stages and vintage years. We are building balanced exposure to India's private markets with compelling risk return profiles and liquidity cycles.
