You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.
Amara Partners, a mid-market private equity firm anchored by business leader Anand Mahindra, has announced an oversubscription on its INR 600 crore base fund. The strong investor response has prompted the firm to activate its green shoe option of up to INR 200 crore.
In a move to deepen engagement with industry veterans, Amara has also introduced the Amara Leadership Circle, an exclusive group of CEOs and senior leaders from major Indian and multinational corporations.
Amara Partners plans to invest in mid-sized, promoter-led businesses that are central to India's economic engine. Target sectors include manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and consumer goods. The firm expects to make 10 to 12 investments, with typical ticket sizes ranging between USD 10 million and USD 15 million, and additional co-investment capacity of up to USD 20 million.
Parag Shah, Founder and Managing Partner of Amara Partners, said, "We are extremely pleased with the strong response and oversubscription to our base fund. There is a significant capital gap for mid-sized, promoter-led businesses, many of which have the vision and potential to take India's capabilities to the global stage. Amara brings a corporate mindset to private equity, aiming to institutionalise and scale such companies, attract talent, and pursue M&A."
Amara has already made investments in Lumax Auto Technologies and NBFC Fibe, reflecting its focus on scaling promising platforms led by entrepreneurs. The firm's founding team, Parag Shah and Piyush Soonee, previously worked at Mahindra Partners and bring over four decades of investment experience. Together, they have deployed more than USD 500 million and delivered over USD 1.5 billion in returns.
Guided by a respected advisory board including Anand Mahindra, Haigreve Khaitan, M.M. Murugappan, and Rafique Malik, Amara aims to drive long-term growth through strategic leadership and operational rigor.

Odd Lots: How a Trade War With China Could Become a Hot War
Tension between the US and China has been building for some time. But so far this has been limited to issues of trade. The US has imposed tariffs on China. It's imposed restrictions on technology exports. In turn, China has imposed some of its own tariffs, and also limited the export of things like rare earth metals. But historically speaking, many hot wars have their roots in some kind of trade-related tensions between nations. So the risk exists that a trade war one day becomes a hot war. So how does this happen, and how can it be avoided? On this episode, we speak with Dale Copeland, a professor of international relations at the University of Virginia. He discusses his theories of trade, and we discuss his most recent book, "A World Safe for Commerce: American Foreign Policy From the Revolution to the Rise of China," which specifically discusses the prospect for an outright US-China confrontation.
