Rumor has it that Kedaara is planning to establish a continuation fund, while AstroTalk sets its sights on acquiring the "unicorn" status.
In the realm of Indian investments, Kedaara Capital is making strides with its plans to raise a continuation fund valued at approximately Rs 1,719 crore to Rs 2,579 crore ($200-300 million). This fund, intended to support its key assets, mirrors a growing trend among funds to offer interim liquidity.
Meanwhile, Kedaara Capital and Partners Group have achieved high returns from a recent stake reduction in an unnamed Indian retailer. The specific amount raised through this reduction is not disclosed. This move is not connected to Kedaara Capital's fourth flagship fund, which raised $1.7 billion last year.
On a separate note, AstroTalk, another player in the market, is eyeing a valuation of $1.3-1.5 billion. The identity of the company and the details of its fundraising efforts are not yet known.
These developments underscore the ongoing dynamism in the Indian investment landscape, with funds and companies continually seeking to optimise their investments and secure growth opportunities.
