NAV Capital has launched its first India-focused close-ended AIF Fund, the NAV Bharat Investment Opportunities Fund, targeting pre-IPO investments in high-growth sectors and SMEs. The fund aims to raise Rs 500 crore over 18 months, with at least 51% allocated to unlisted companies. This initiative responds to demand from Indian residents eager to invest in the domestic market’s growth potential. The fund is sector-agnostic, focusing on areas like banking, technology, and infrastructure, as India strives to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030. Vineet Arora emphasizes the commitment to supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
