Medial

ValueQuest Investment Advisors has raised a Rs 1,500-crore private equity (PE) fund focused on advanced manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, defence, and energy transition. ValueQuest Tristar, a 100% rupee-denominated fund, has surpassed its target size of Rs 1,500 crore and activated a greenshoe option of Rs 500 crore. The fund aims to close the fundraising within the current calendar year. According to the Mumbai-based firm, the fund plans to back 8–12 companies with cheque sizes ranging from Rs 150 crore to Rs 400 crore and expects to complete capital deployment within 18–24 months. It will focus on businesses with proven product-market fit, positive unit economics, and established customer relationships. ValueQuest said this is the right time to deploy capital in advanced manufacturing sectors, noting that several companies in the space are also tapping the IPO market. The fund has already invested in Rangsons Aerospace, a precision manufacturing company serving marquee domestic and global aerospace and defence clients. It has also backed Waaree Energy Storage Solutions, which manufactures lithium-ion cells, battery packs, and energy storage systems for Indian and international markets. In defence investing, the fund has been an early investor in defence public sector undertakings such as Mazagon Dock, Cochin Shipyard, HAL, BEL, and Garden Reach, even before policy momentum built in favour of the sector.

Titan Capital Winners Fund, which is backed by Snapdeal co-founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, has raised its target corpus of Rs 200 crore as the duo will anchor this fund as its largest investors. The fund will invest exclusively in follow-on rounds of breakout companies from its seed portfolio. “With the Titan Capital Winners Fund, we can more significantly support the founders of our portfolio companies in subsequent rounds of capital raises, further strengthening Titan Capital’s partnership with them,” Bahl and Bansal said in a joint press release. The Titan Capital Winners Fund focuses on tech-enabled businesses led by founders and management teams building category creators. The fundraise was completed in less than six months and the fund’s LPs include prominent family offices, CEOs and founders of leading companies, and key figures from the VC landscape. Titan Capital said that a select number of LPs are expected to be added via the optional greenshoe. In addition to Bahl and Bansal, the Winners Fund is managed by a team including Chetan Rana, who is serving as the chief financial officer (CFO). Titan Capital has backed more than 250 companies since 2011. Some of its seed investment portfolio includes Urban Company, MamaEarth, OfBusiness, Razorpay, Unicommerce, and Ola Cabs. Through the fund, Bahl and Bansal also made hefty exits from Urban Company, MamaEarth, Ola and Credgenics. For context, they had invested Rs 57 lakh total in Urban Company’s early funding rounds and recently took complete exit with Rs 111 crore. In Ola, their original investment was to the tune of $60,000 while the SoftBank-backed company reached its peak valuation of $7.3 billion in 2021 when they exited fully. E-commerce SaaS platform Unicommerce, which also comes under the umbrella of Snapdeal owner AceVector, went public. It was one of the profitable startups to get listed on the stock exchange.
