The deal involved a combination of secondary purchase of shares and providing Tier - 2 capital. The structured capital solution will help fuel the risk calibrated growth of Company's assets under management.

Kalpesh Kikani, CEO, Piramal Alternatives said "Microfinance as a retail asset class has grown at CAGR of 32% over the last decade and expected to continue the high growth trajectory. Further, it serves as a catalyst for economic development and stands as a cornerstone for a nation's growth, fostering financial inclusion and prosperity. A seasoned player like Annapurna having traversed multiple cycles, is well positioned to capture the growth opportunity. Through Piramal Alternatives, we are committed to providing bespoke and value-accretive capital to support Annapurna's growth aspirations in this promising sector."
