Exciting insights from our Managing Partner and Co-founder, Ashvin Chadha at the panel discussion on Homegrown PE VCs with TVS Capital Funds' Gopal Srinivasan and Gopal Jain from Gaja Capital, hosted by NISHA PODDAR CNBC-TV18. Ashvin highlighted the increasing participation from retail investors in private markets, emphasizing the necessity for larger investment ticket sizes from institutions, with SIDBI leading by example. He noted that the returns for early investors have been lucrative, and in the next 5-10 years, we can expect significant rupee capital backing unlisted companies. Ashvin drew a parallel to the journey of domestic investors towards mutual funds, suggesting that private markets have similar potential. He also observed growing interest from family offices and retail investors in private markets and anticipated that larger institutions will join in a big way. In terms of expectations from the budget, Ashvin mentioned the need for clarity around taxation and hailed GIFT City as a welcome move, predicting that more fund managers will operate from there. An exciting future ahead for private equity and venture capital in India!

Congratulations to our portfolio company AgniKul Cosmos on the successful launch of SOrTeD Mission! AgniKul Cosmos has achieved a remarkable milestone in India's private space industry with the successful launch of its SOrTeD mission. This groundbreaking demonstration featured a single-stage launch vehicle powered by a semi-cryogenic 3D-printed engine. The mission, lasting two minutes, took off from India's first private launchpad, ALP-01, at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, and executed precise maneuvers before splashing down in the Bay of Bengal. Key Highlights: 1. Single-stage launch vehicle with a semi-cryogenic 3D-printed engine 2. Successful launch from India's first private launchpad, ALP-01 3. Equipped with advanced avionics and autopilot software 4. Significant step towards entering the small satellite launch market 5. Data from SOrTeD will contribute to the development of the Agnibaan launch vehicle. This success is a testament to AgniKul Cosmos' innovative prowess and dedication to advancing space technology. Anicut Capital congratulates the entire team on this remarkable achievement and looks forward to witnessing their continued success in the future!

Humbled to announce the successful completion of our first flight - Mission 01 of Agnibaan SOrTeD - from our own and India’s first & only private Launchpad within SDSC-SHAR at Sriharikota. All the mission objectives of this controlled vertical ascent flight were met and performance was nominal. The vehicle was completely designed in-house and was powered by the world’s first single piece 3d printed engine and also happens to be India’s first flight with a semi cryo engine. Our greatest thanks to IN-SPACe, ISRO, IIT Madras & our incredibly committed team in helping us prove that a private player can design and fly original space tech hardware in India.

India’s D2C market has grown exponentially in the last few years and is likely to reach a size of $100 Bn by 2025! Let’s take a look at 112 brands disrupting this burgeoning sector 👇 Home to more than 190 Mn digital shoppers – India has the world’s third-largest online shopping base in the world. It is this burgeoning ecosystem that the new-age D2C brands aim to capitalise on, on the back of the growing appetite of Indian consumers for innovation and waning loyalty towards traditional players. Of this, fashion and clothing startups have the highest potential and are expected to grow to $43.2 Bn by 2025. Some of the emerging D2C brands including Mamaearth, CaratLane and Nua merely took a couple of years to reach INR 100 Cr revenue mark.
