The Backbone of India's Next
Growth Cycle
India is entering its strongest private-markets cycle in over a decade. Macro stability, domestic capital leadership, and AIF commitments compounding at nearly 30% annually have created a structurally favourable environment for high-quality, disciplined capital.
Arenas could help capture approximately 30 percent of India's incremental GDP by 2040 to support its goal of becoming a developed economy by 2047.
India Premium Moves
Private
India's growth is being built by private companies, from early innovators to scaled startups. Private markets are scaling to fund that engine, with India's alternatives AUM projected to grow ~5x to ~$2T over the next decade.
SEBI-registered AIFs have also delivered a return premium over public markets. With rising HNI wealth, a widening wealth-management funnel, and regulation, the tailwinds are durable. We maintain a long-term bias to India's private markets.
If India Doesn't Back India,
Who Will?
Indian investors still own too little of the value being created by private markets at home. Global capital, meanwhile, is leaning in with a clear rise in $100M+ deals in India.
A growing share of India's private-market upside is being financed and owned offshore. Our ethos is simple: India's growth should be meaningfully owned by Indians. A core part of Oister's work is to create disciplined, research-led access to high-quality private market opportunities, so a far larger share of India's compounding value is ultimately retained by Indian investors.
