Managed by NAV Capital
Private equity, private credit and real-estate funds that don't employ leverage except for operating needs. The largest AIF category.
Navbharat Capital Trust (IN/AIF3/24-25/1700) is a SEBI-registered Category III AIF and the Indian AIF vehicle of NAV Capital — a Dubai-based wealth management and investment firm regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) — managed in India by NAV Capital Ltd. The fund operates under the brand NAV Bharat Investment Opportunities Fund, launched in January 2025 with a target corpus of INR 500 crore. This is NAV Capital's first offering to resident Indians. The fund is sector-agnostic, targeting small and medium Indian businesses with high growth potential, primarily focusing on pre-IPO opportunities and strategic growth capital across banking and financial services, consumer goods and retail, chemicals and materials, technology and innovation, and infrastructure and logistics. NAV Capital was founded in Singapore/Dubai and has built its investment track record through the NAV Capital Emerging Star Fund, a Singapore-based FPI focused on Indian listed equities, which grew to approximately INR 700 crore AUM and delivered 180% returns in 20 months. The firm's investment approach is akin to private equity in public markets — engaging with investee companies through governance and business development support without board interference. Vineet Arora, Managing Director and CIO, built the firm's AUM from USD 10 million to over USD 150 million within four years. Registered office: 5W, 5th Floor, The Metropolitan Building, E Block, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai 400051. India operational office also at Ahmedabad (Bodakdev).
