ChrysCapital, a prominent private equity firm in India, has witnessed a significant shift in its investment strategy over the past two decades. Initially focusing on stable businesses in sectors like financial services, healthcare, and IT services, the firm has now shifted its focus to the new economy, including sectors such as finTech, consumer tech, and internet services. ChrysCapital invests in startups at a later stage of growth, typically during series D or E funding rounds, with a focus on profitability and a potential for listing. The firm aims to add value to its portfolio companies through mentorship and guidance to prepare them for going public. Additionally, ChrysCapital has recently raised funds for a new alternative investment fund named Clarus, which aims to identify investment opportunities across various sectors and company sizes.
