Sachin Khandelwal, former Managing Director at TPG NewQuest, is set to launch Sporos Capital, an equity fund aimed at reviving tech-enabled companies amid a funding slowdown for growth-stage startups.
Sporos Capital will be a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) with a corpus of Rs 600 crore, having a green shoe option of Rs 1,000 crore.
The fund has onboarded Ishpreet Singh Gandhi, Atul Raheja, and Sameer Mahajan onto its leadership team.
Sporos Capital aims to tap struggling startups that have faced difficulties in raising capital and aims to deliver high returns in the range of 5X to 8X on individual investments.
