Investing in India’s Growth: A Long-Term Perspective India’s economy continues to strengthen, with 6-7% GDP growth and 12-13% nominal expansion, creating opportunities across enterprise technology, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and the new economy. As these sectors scale at 15-20% growth rates, businesses with strong market positioning and disciplined execution can generate 25%+ IRR, reinforcing India’s entrepreneurial momentum. As Sanjay Kukreja, Partner & CIO, highlighted in an interview with Business Standard’s Peerzada Abrar, India is at an inflection point, and the next two decades present immense potential for value creation. Our focus remains on partnering with exceptional entrepreneurs to build enduring, market-leading businesses. At ChrysCapital, our investment philosophy remains consistent through cycles—backing high-quality businesses with strong fundamentals, resilient leadership, and long-term scalability. With $6 billion in AUM, ChrysCapital will continue to focus on high-quality investments, active ownership, and long-term value creation. https://lnkd.in/dDrqcJiw #ChrysCapital #IndiaGrowth #PrivateEquity #Investing #Entrepreneurship #CapitalMarkets #ValueCreation

At the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA) GreenReturns Summit held in New Delhi earlier this week, Ashley Menezes, Chairperson of the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA) and Partner & COO at ChrysCapital, delivered the welcome address. Ashley also engaged in a thought-provoking fireside chat with Dr V Anantha Nageswaran, Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India, setting the stage for insightful discussions on climate finance and sustainable investments. The Summit fostered meaningful dialogue on climate finance, facilitating the flow of commercial and impact capital through innovative financial solutions. It brought together a diverse range of stakeholders, including global investors, private equity leaders, policymakers, academics, and entrepreneurs, all united by a shared vision for impactful climate action. The challenges ahead remain significant. #COP29 emphasised the urgency of global collaboration on climate issues while underlining the need for more ambitious commitments and financing mechanisms. A key outcome of COP29 was the agreement on a new climate finance goal: mobilizing at least $300 billion annually by 2035 for developing countries—a marked improvement from the earlier $100 billion target. However, this figure still falls short of the estimated $1.3 trillion required annually to address climate challenges and facilitate low-carbon transitions effectively. Thanks to IVCA for organising such an impactful event, where attendees pledged their support to entrepreneurs in areas such as funding, regulatory guidance, and networking. Summits like these play a critical role in bridging the gap between stakeholders. Here’s hoping for more such initiatives in the future, as we collectively work towards building a sustainable and prosperous tomorrow. #Climate action is no longer optional—it is a necessity. Together, let’s ensure that the investments we make today deliver not just financial returns, but also a brighter, greener future for generations to come. #GreenReturnsSummit2024 #ClimateFinanceIndia #GreenReturnsSummit #IVCA #ClimateFinance
