A91 Partners has announced the final close of its third fund at $665 million. With Fund III, A91 plans to continue backing growth-stage businesses and supporting founders with scale and strategic capital. “We started A91 in 2018 with the following beliefs - patient capital will play an important role in accelerating value creation in Indian businesses across sectors. We also believed in the opportunity to create a world-class Indian investment firm - for founders who are aiming to build large enduring businesses from India. All these beliefs have been strengthened over the last 6 years,” said A91 Partners in a Linkedin post. Founded in 2018 by former Peak XV partners Gautam Mago, Abhay Pandey, Kaushik Anand, and VT Bharadwaj, A91 Partners was created to support Indian entrepreneurs building long-term businesses. The firm focuses on investing across sectors such as consumer, healthcare, financial services, and technology. The firm said it remains committed to being a long-term partner to both founders and Limited Partners as it continues to grow its presence in the Indian private equity landscape. A91 Partners has also made investments in sectors like coffee, spices, and home appliances, including backing brands such as Atomberg. It led a $30 million Series B funding round in Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters. The firm’s portfolio includes companies like Digit Insurance, Inshorts, Sugar Cosmetics, Exotel, Healthkart, Paper Boat, and Plum, among others. Go Digit General Insurance, one of A91’s portfolio companies, went public last year. In a recent disclosure, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) said that it is considering an investment of up to $35 million in A91 Partners’ third fund, with the possibility of committing an additional $30 million for co-investment opportunities.
