Gaja Capital

Gaja Capital is a prominent private equity firm based in India, specializing in providing growth capital and buyout investments to mid-market companies. With a focus on sectors such as education, consumer, and financial services, the firm partners with ambitious entrepreneurs to build lasting businesses in India's domestic economy. Their expertise and partner network cover multiple sectors, enabling them to deliver tangible value beyond capital to the entrepreneurs they invest in.

Founded in 2004, Gaja Capital has built a strong investment portfolio over the years, with investments in companies such as Teamlease, Lighthouse Learning, and RBL Bank. The firm's innovative approach in education, consumer, and financial services sectors has enabled them to execute landmark investments. Their ability to see the potential in people and ideas delivers sustained growth, transformative businesses, and long-term partnerships.

In January 2025, the company converted from private to public limited, changing its name to Gaja Alternative Asset Management Ltd. Earlier this month, Gaja Capital successfully raised Rs 125 crore in a pre-IPO funding round, valuing the firm at Rs 1,625 crore. This IPO would mark the first public listing of a standalone, Indian-origin private equity firm managing alternative assets.
