Venturi Partners, an Asian private equity firm, is gearing up to introduce a substantial USD 75-100 million fund in India later this year. This initiative aims to target local consumer-focused growth-stage companies, as reported by various media outlets. The capital for this fund will be sourced primarily from leading Indian family offices, providing them with an exclusive avenue for investment opportunities.
Distinguishing itself in the market, Venturi Partners intends to tailor its approach specifically towards family offices by offering a smaller, specialized Alternate Investment Fund (AIF).
Having previously supported ventures such as Livspace, Country Delight, and K12 Techno through its USD 180 million Asia fund, the firm plans to replicate its successful investment strategy with the new India AIF.
Reports suggest that Venturi has allocated approximately 60-65 per cent of its flagship Asia fund investments to India, with the remainder focused on Southeast Asia. This emphasis on India stems from the country’s significant consumer spending, which constitutes 60 per cent of its GDP, making it a pivotal market for the firm.
In addition to its current endeavors, Venturi Partners is reportedly considering raising a USD 250-300 million Asia fund next year, effectively doubling the size of its initial fund.
