Artha Bharat in talks with five investment management teams

Chennai, Nov 17 (UNI) Artha Bharat Investment Managers IFSC LLP, licensed by the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) to offer its platform to third-party fund managers.
With assets under management (AUM) exceeding Rs.7,000 crore (over $800 million), Artha Bharat is already in advanced discussions with five independent investment management teams who plan to use its platform to launch funds ranging from $5 million to $50 million, the company said.

Artha Bharat is one of the largest licensed fund management entities operating from India’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) at GIFT City.
Under this innovative arrangement, Artha Bharat will provide the full regulatory infrastructure, fund administration, risk and compliance oversight, while investment management decisions will remain with the respective fund managers using its platform.
This model marks a new phase in India’s fund management ecosystem, enabling talented fund managers to establish regulated schemes in GIFT City without the heavy financial and administrative burden of setting up a separate fund management entity.

“We are deeply grateful to the International Financial Services Authority (IFSCA) to have reposed the faith in Artha Bharat. This initiative enables entrepreneurial fund managers to leverage the advantages of GIFT City and launch regulated investment schemes aimed at Indian and overseas investors using the robust risk management, controls and compliance platform that Artha Bharat has built,” said Sachin Sawrikar, Managing Partner, Artha Bharat Investment Managers IFSC LLP.
“This is an excellent initiative by the IFSCA aimed at spurring entrepreneurship amongst talented fund managers who may lack the financial resources needed to float their own fund management entity in GIFT City,” added Sawrikar.
Artha Bharat currently manages three diversified funds from GIFT City:
Artha Global Opportunities Fund – focused on private credit, distressed debt, and private equity opportunities.
Artha Global Multiplier Fund – a long-short, absolute-return hedge fund investing in the US markets.
Artha Bharat Absolute Return Fund – a USD-denominated arbitrage fund investing across equities, commodities, and interest rate futures, designed to deliver competitive short-term returns versus traditional fixed-income avenues.

With operations spread across Mauritius, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, and a rapidly expanding presence in GIFT City, Artha Bharat continues to position itself as a leading alternative investment platform for global and NRI investors. The firm aims to grow its AUM base fourfold to $3 billion by 2030, driven by its commitment to innovation, compliance, and value creation.
