InCred Wealth has grown to over $10 billion, or more than Rs 1 lakh crore, in assets under management. The Mumbai-based firm reached this scale in six years, which market participants attribute to consistent execution and a strong team across leadership and client-facing roles. InCred links its hiring strength to founder Bhupinder Singh’s track record. Singh spent over two decades at Deutsche Bank before founding InCred in 2016. The unicorn status of InCred Finance in 2023 has further added to the group’s credibility with senior professionals and clients. As per the firm, InCred Wealth now has over 700 relationship managers serving family offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and emerging affluent customers. “Beyond conventional advisory, we have expanded access to global and private-market opportunities for our clients, including curated exposure to late-stage private companies, overseas themes, and alternative strategies,” said CEO Nitin Rao in an interaction with Entrackr. Rao has been with InCred Wealth since its inception in 2020. Highlighting InCred Wealth’s approach, Rao said the firm was built “from the ground up” with the aim of bringing global-quality ideas into Indian wealth management. Alongside its domestic business, InCred Wealth has also built an offshore platform, InCred Global Wealth. “We manage more than $3 billion in assets through teams based in Singapore, Dubai, and London,” Rao said.

InCred Capital, the wealth and institutional arm of the InCred Group, is in advanced discussions to raise $50 million, according to two sources familiar with the details of the deal. “The new funding round is driven by the company’s strong performance in the first half of FY25, with an average revenue run rate of Rs 800 crore and a profit before tax of around Rs 200 crore,” said one of the sources, who requested anonymity as talks are private. As a full-stack financial services platform, InCred Capital integrates wealth management, asset management, M&A, capital markets, equity research and broking, as well as equity derivatives. InCred Capital’s investment banking division has been in the news recently for several notable transactions, including capital raises for Oyo, E2E, Ugro, and Indiabulls. The platform has amassed over $5 billion in AUM, spanning family offices, high net worth individuals, corporate treasuries, and institutional clients. Lead investors in InCred Capital’s new round include Ranjan Pai, through the Manipal family office, the Motherson Sumi family office, MMG family office, as well as the founder Bhupinder Singh himself, according to another source who also spoke on the condition of anonymity. “The company’s valuation is expected to range between $550 million and $600 million,” said the above-mentioned source. Entrackr’s queries to InCred on Friday remained unanswered at the time of publication, while inquiries to the aforementioned investor did not receive immediate responses. InCred Group’s lending arm, InCred Finance, was one of two companies to achieve unicorn status in 2023, raising $60 million in a Series D round led by Ranjan Pai of MEMG and others. Entrackr had exclusively reported on the firm’s unicorn round, which valued the company at $1.03 billion. In FY24, InCred Finance’s assets under management (AUM) saw a 49% increase, exceeding Rs 9,000 crore across personal, MSME, and educational loans, with overseas education loans experiencing rapid growth. In an interview with Entrackr, InCred Group founder and CEO Bhupinder Singh highlighted the strong demand for studying abroad, fueled by better exposure and overall growth prospects. In 2022, InCred Finance completed a reverse merger with KKR India’s credit arm, acquiring KKR’s corporate loan book. However, the corporate loan book was wound down shortly after, allowing InCred to shift its focus to building a tech-enabled retail and MSME franchise.
