Tano India Private Equity Fund II

Tano India Private Equity Fund II is a private equity fund managed by Tano Capital, an independent fund manager based in the United States. The fund focuses on providing growth capital to Indian companies across diverse sectors, including Consumer, Pharmaceuticals, Financial Services, Engineering, and Manufacturing. It is the successor to the $100 million Tano India Private Equity Fund I, which has made direct investments in ten India-based portfolio companies and realized several successful exits.

The fund's investment philosophy centers on building a diversified portfolio of investments in primarily middle-market, rapidly growing India-based companies. Focus sectors include infrastructure ancillaries, consumer discretionary, healthcare, and manufacturing. The fund aims to leverage the current consumption-driven domestic booms in India to source and develop innovative alternative investment opportunities.

Tano Capital was founded in 2004 by Charles E. Johnson, formerly Co-President of Franklin Templeton Investments and CEO of Templeton Worldwide Inc. The firm's mission is to source and develop innovative alternative investment opportunities in rapidly growing private companies in India and China. Tano Capital has offices in San Mateo, California; Singapore; Shanghai; and Mumbai.
