Narayana Murthy, Sudha Murthy plans BIG, eye joint ventures in…, aim to replicate success like…
Catamaran is the family office of Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy and his wife Sudha Murthy. It is looking out for joint ventures (JVs), which can give the success they achieved with global giants like Amazon and Aon as reported by Moneycontrol . Success Of Past JVs In 2014, Catamaran and Amazon had jointly set up Cloudtail as a 51:49 platform had trained sellers to sell on Amazon, and became one of the top sellers on the e-commerce platform. As this JV was successful, in 2021, both announced exiting Cloudtail due to changing landscape and e-commerce rules. Within this short period, the Murthys earned over $110 million (Rs 915 crore) in profits in eight years. The investment was of Rs $50 million (Rs 417 crore) from the JV, as per media reports. After this success, the family office started looking out for similar ventures. Catamaran's New Plan In 2025, precision manufacturing is a big theme for Catamaran because they think that partnership with new edge technology can create jobs and value. 'Think about…the Amazon JV — bringing a global platform, building locally, and creating jobs. We want to do the same in precision manufacturing. But we don't want to play just in original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or high-volume, low-margin businesses. We want to build the supply chain,' Ranganath MD, Chairman at Catamaran told Moneycontrol in an interview. Catamaran is also planning to focus on precision manufacturing in Electric vehicle (EV) supply chains, electronics, aerospace and more. 'But we're clear: we don't claim to know manufacturing better than domain experts. If we do a JV in this space, it'll probably be a three-way partnership,' Ranganath MD added. While talking about three-way partnership in the same interview, he said: 'Catamaran will bring the capital and India know-how, the Indian promoter brings local expertise and a third partner will bring global manufacturing tech and process knowledge.'

IFC Invests ₹460 crore in India's largest battery energy storage project in Gujarat
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, on Thursday committed Rs 460 crore to IndiGrid to build India's largest standalone battery energy storage system project in Gujarat. The project is designed to play a key role in supporting the state's clean energy goals by enhancing grid stability and ensuring reliable power is available during peak demand, a joint statement said. The long-term financing of USD 55 million (about Rs 460 crore) will be through a subscription to listed non-convertible debentures, with USD 38.5 million from IFC's own account and USD 16.5 million in concessional support from the Clean Technology Fund, one of the multi-donor trust funds under the World Bank-hosted Climate Investment Funds framework. IFC Regional Director for South Asia Imad N Fakhoury said, "Expanding access to reliable, affordable electricity is central to development and IFC's mission in emerging markets. Battery energy storage is critical for diversifying India's energy mix and ensuring clean power is available when demand is highest." IndiGrid has been a trusted partner to IFC in advancing sustainable and inclusive infrastructure in India, he said, adding, the latest investment supports Gujarat's goal of achieving 100 GW of renewable capacity by 2030 and sets a replicable model for other states. India's power sector is undergoing a structural shift as the country advances toward its target of 500 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030, it said. The increasing integration of solar and wind energy introduces new challenges for grid stability, peak load management, and dispatch reliability, it added. Utility-scale battery storage is emerging as a critical solution to address to grid stability challenges, including peak load management and dispatch reliability, while enabling greater integration of solar and wind energy. "With IFC's support, we are proud to lead the deployment of one of India's first and largest BESS assets in Gujarat. This project represents a strategic milestone in building next-generation infrastructure that is clean, resilient, and future-ready," IndiGrid Managing Director Harsh Shah said.>
