InCred Capital, the wealth and institutional arm of the InCred Group, is reportedly in advanced discussions to secure $50 million in funding, according to two sources familiar with the ongoing negotiations. This new funding round reflects the company’s robust performance in the first half of FY25, achieving an average revenue run rate of ₹800 crore and a profit before tax of approximately ₹200 crore.
As a comprehensive financial services platform, InCred Capital integrates various services, including wealth management, asset management, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, equity research, broking, and equity derivatives. The firm has gained significant attention for its investment banking division, recently involved in notable capital raises for companies such as Oyo, E2E, Ugro, and Indiabulls. Currently, InCred Capital boasts over $5 billion in assets under management (AUM), catering to family offices, high-net-worth individuals, corporate treasuries, and institutional clients.
Lead investors in the upcoming funding round are expected to include prominent family offices, such as Ranjan Pai’s Manipal family office, the Motherson Sumi family office, and the MMG family office. Bhupinder Singh, the founder of InCred, is also among the investors. The company’s valuation is anticipated to be between $550 million and $600 million, as reported by one of the sources who requested anonymity.
Despite inquiries made to InCred on Friday, the company did not provide any comments at the time of publication, nor did the contacted investors respond immediately.
InCred Group’s lending division, InCred Finance, achieved unicorn status in 2023, raising $60 million in a Series D funding round led by Ranjan Pai of MEMG and others, which valued the company at $1.03 billion. In FY24, InCred Finance’s AUM surged by 49%, surpassing ₹9,000 crore across various loan segments, including personal, MSME, and educational loans, with a notable uptick in overseas education loans, driven by increasing demand for studying abroad.
In 2022, InCred Finance completed a reverse merger with KKR India’s credit arm, acquiring KKR’s corporate loan book. However, the corporate loan book was subsequently wound down, allowing InCred to refocus on building a tech-enabled retail and MSME franchise.
