Alternative investment firm Anicut Capital has announced the receipt of $11 million in dollar-denominated investments via GIFT City Structure in its Private Credit Fund 3. In September last year, Anicut Capital secured an investment of Rs 50 crore from the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) for the Anicut Equity Fund. Within the first year of operations, the fund has already invested in six companies including Earth Rhythm, Neemans, Wheelocity, The Ayurveda Experience, Blue Tokai Coffee and XYXX. The investment structure aims at attracting dollar-denominated investments into India from a diverse group of institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) from key global markets including the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East. The funds are raised in the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSC), a statutory authority established by the Government of India to facilitate international investments. The funds received via GIFT City Structure feed into the overall corpus of Rs 1,500 crore that Anicut Capital is currently raising for its third private credit fund. In private credit, Anicut claims to have deployed Rs 3,200 crore to date across mid-sized enterprises since inception.
