DuneVista Capital, an Indian-led global asset management group, has announced plans to launch a USD 1 billion global investment fund, with India identified as a core focus area. The fund is expected to be formally unveiled in January 2026 and will primarily target Indian startups and growth-stage companies.
Alongside its startup investments, the fund will also make selective allocations across private equity, public markets, hedge funds and commodities as part of a diversified investment strategy. The firm said this multi-asset approach is aimed at balancing growth opportunities with long-term capital preservation.
As part of its India-focused strategy, DuneVista Capital claims to have already committed USD 100 million to Indian and India-linked investment platforms. These include Indusbridge Ventures, a venture capital and venture builder that supports high-growth technology companies and El Dorado Capital a Dubai-based global investment management firm and hedge fund with international exposure.
DuneVista Capital operates across Mumbai, Dubai, New York, London and Singapore and is structured as a multi-jurisdiction platform. The firm said India will continue to play a central role in capital deployment and investment decision-making during the current fund cycle.
The company’s private equity strategy, which underpins its startup investments, will focus on acquiring both control and minority stakes in resilient, cash-flow generating businesses. DuneVista Capital plans to work closely with founders on governance frameworks, operational scaling, mergers and acquisitions and cross-border expansion.
In addition to private equity, the firm will invest in public markets through long-term equity and fixed income portfolios. It will also allocate capital to specialised global hedge fund managers and maintain exposure to commodities, including energy, metals and agriculture, to support portfolio diversification.
DuneVista Capital is led by an all-Indian leadership team with experience spanning investment banking, private equity and institutional investing. The team includes Chairman Jay V Jegannathan, CEO Mayank Singhvi, Managing Director for Investments Navneet Mathur and Director of Strategy Deeksha Ahuja.
The firm said it will prioritise founder-led and women-led Indian startups as it begins active engagement with the startup ecosystem following its Davos launch on Jan 21, 2026.
