Kapoor has resigned from Modulus Alternatives Investment Managers, where he served as chief investment officer and head of private credit.
Kapoor will spearhead Motilal Oswal’s plan to raise about $250 million through its maiden private credit fund over the next four to six months.
Motilal Oswal’s private credit business will be under Motilal Oswal Alternates, managing about $1.8 billion of assets, and plans to invest in mid- to large-companies seeking growth capital.
Annual volumes in India’s private credit market hit $9.2 billion last year, with significant interest from foreign firms like KKR & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., as well as local players and government-linked investors.
