Nalanda Capital is a private equity investor in the Indian public markets.

The team at Nalanda Capital has had a long and successful track record of private equity investing in India. Given the peculiar nature of the Indian private equity industry (dominated by illiquid minority stakes) and the inefficiency of the Indian public markets, the Nalanda team believes that the right long term investing model for India is to apply the private equity discipline in the public markets. The team has successfully applied this discipline in their professional careers before Nalanda.

Nalanda Capital’s India fund closed at $400m in late May 2007 with funds primarily from US Endowments and Family Offices.
