Private Fund Raising Growing through financial sponsorship

Axis Capital’s Financial Sponsors Coverage Group serves as a trusted partner to private equity firms, venture capital funds and family offices. We provide comprehensive advisory and transaction execution services tailored to their unique investment strategies. Our clients benefit from value-accretive financial sponsor partnerships that provide not only the capital but also strategic guidance and operational expertise.

Growth-stage Private Equity

We leverage our strong, long-standing relationships with diverse financial sponsors to support leading, best-in-class companies to achieve their growth potential.


Axis Capital has created a strong distribution platform that supports growth-oriented companies in raising equity capital through private markets, in collaboration with leading financial sponsors. Axis Capital has raised over INR 9,500 crs in the last three years across various growth stages from marquee private market investors.

Our coverage spans funds of varied sizes, stages and industries. We help funds navigate the investment lifecycle by identifying strategic opportunities, providing insights into emerging investment themes, and managing portfolios through capital market exits or monetisation via secondary placements.


Pre IPO-Fundraising

Our strong Equity Capital market franchise combined with our robust financial sponsor relationships has enabled us to build an extensive investor network across varied fund sizes and categories. Our deep understanding of investor preferences and investment styles enables us to match corporate clients with the right investors. Through pre-IPO funding initiatives, we position companies for a successful transition to public markets, creating long-term value for all stakeholders.
