Private markets / India
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.
Why India
India is one of the most dynamic major economies in the world. A young population, a growing middle class, rapid digitalisation 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. At the same time, European institutional investors remain underrepresented in these markets.
