Arjav Capital, a new private equity firm backed by multiple family offices, has launched a ₹2,500 crore buyout fund targeting mid-market industrial and manufacturing companies. The fund aims to acquire control stakes in profitable, cash-flow-positive businesses with turnovers between ₹300 crore and ₹1,500 crore. The announcement was made on September 3, 2026, as the firm prepares to capitalize on ownership transitions in family-run enterprises, according to livemint.com.
The fund will focus on businesses undergoing ownership changes, particularly family-owned firms seeking succession solutions. Arjav Capital’s strategy involves investing in companies with strong growth potential and stable cash flows. The firm’s leadership highlighted the opportunity to support industrial and manufacturing sectors that have traditionally been underserved by private equity. The fundraise reflects a growing trend of family offices pooling resources to back mid-sized buyouts, as detailed by livemint.com.
This fund launch underscores increasing interest in mid-market buyouts in India, a segment that has seen rising activity due to generational shifts in family businesses. Compared to larger private equity funds, Arjav Capital’s focused approach on turnover bands between ₹300 crore and ₹1,500 crore positions it to address a niche with significant growth potential. The move aligns with broader market dynamics where family offices are playing a larger role in private equity, complementing institutional investors.
Arjav Capital’s maiden fundraise of ₹2,500 crore sets a benchmark for family office-led buyout vehicles in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The firm will begin deploying capital into target companies shortly, aiming to complete its initial investments within the next 12 months, livemint.com reported.
