Who are the investors?
According to a statement, Creaegis raised capital from institutional investors, including International Finance Corporation (IFC) and family offices from India, the US, Europe and Asia for this sector-agnostic fund, which it will use to infuse in growth-stage Indian startups.
According to a report by ET, Creaegis intends to build a portfolio consisting of 12-15 startups, beginning with an investment in four startups annually.
The report also said that the private equity firm plans to invest in amounts ranging from $25 million to $40 million on average, and will ‘double down on its portfolio winners’.
Founded in 2018 by former Premji Invest managing partner Prakash Parthasarathy, Creaegis recently led $30 million round in Mumbai-based Kale Logistics Solutions. It has also backed healthtech startup Medikabazaar and insurtech startup Zopper.
