Fundraising & Corporate Finance Advisory in India

Equity, debt and mezzanine capital raising (USD 5m–100m), pitch decks, financial models, valuations and M&A support for mid-market businesses in India — partner-led from first call to close.

Overview

Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance firm that raises capital for mid-market businesses in India — equity, debt and mezzanine, typically USD 5m to 100m — and builds the investor-grade materials behind every raise: pitch decks, information memoranda, financial models, valuations and data rooms.

India's mid-market is the world's deepest growth-capital opportunity — and one of its most under-banked, with promoters routinely facing dilution-heavy terms or expensive NBFC debt as the only visible routes. Matchpoint advises Indian businesses on hybrid equity-and-debt raises; relevant transactions include a USD 50m Series-D raise for a tertiary hospital group and structured real-estate work in Bangalore.

We advise businesses in India from our Dubai headquarters and London presence, with transactions executed across four continents and a curated base of 5,000+ investor and lender relationships spanning private equity, venture capital, private credit, banks, family offices and strategic investors. Key sectors: Technology & SaaS · Healthcare · Manufacturing · Real estate · Consumer · Infrastructure.

Market context

India's mid-market is one of the world's deepest growth-capital opportunities and among its most under-banked, with promoters often facing dilution-heavy equity or expensive NBFC debt as the only visible routes. Structured private credit, mezzanine and revenue-linked instruments are frequently cheaper and longer than NBFC paper above roughly USD 10m, and GCC sovereign and family capital is now among the largest foreign pools in Indian infrastructure, real estate and growth equity.

Markets we cover

Across India & South Asia

Coverage spans India's major business cities and the wider subcontinent, with structures matched to promoter economics and the GCC capital corridor.

Delhi NCR

Delhi NCR concentrates India's manufacturing, consumer and infrastructure mid-market — businesses scaling fast against expensive NBFC debt and dilution-heavy equity.

Chennai

Chennai pairs India's automotive and manufacturing heartland with a quietly world-class SaaS cluster — capital-efficient businesses that suit structured and growth capital far better than blitz-scale venture.

Hyderabad

Hyderabad is India's pharma capital and one of its fastest-growing business cities — life-sciences manufacturers, IT services and developers scaling against constrained domestic credit.

Pune

Pune blends Western India's engineering and automotive base with a serious technology cluster — mid-market businesses with strong fundamentals and thin access to structured capital.

Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad and Gujarat's industrial corridor — chemicals, textiles, pharma and renewables — house some of India's most capital-efficient manufacturers, chronically under-served by formal growth capital.

Kolkata

Kolkata anchors Eastern India's industrial and consumer economy — metals, logistics, agri and heritage consumer businesses with strong cash flows and limited institutional coverage.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh built the world's second-largest garment export industry on thin capital — and its next generation of manufacturers, pharma producers and consumer businesses needs growth funding the domestic banking system cannot supply.

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is rebuilding from its debt crisis with strong operating assets — tourism, apparel and ports — and an acute shortage of growth and restructuring capital.

The five routes

How mid-market businesses in India raise capital

We model each route against your numbers and recommend the mix before you go to market.

Growth equity

Minority or significant-minority equity for revenue-generating businesses with a growth plan.

Structured debt & private credit

Senior, unitranche or asset-backed facilities for cash-generative businesses — non-dilutive.

Mezzanine & convertibles

Between debt and equity — useful when valuation is sensitive or security is thin.

Strategic investor round

Capital plus market access, distribution or supply-chain value from a corporate partner.

Family-office placement

Patient private capital for defensible, cash-generative businesses with a clear path.

Questions, answered

Fundraising in India — frequently asked questions

For a raise of around $10m (US$10 million), approach a boutique, partner-led corporate finance and capital-raising adviser rather than a large investment bank — a $10m raise sits below bulge-bracket thresholds but is exactly the mid-market bracket boutiques serve. Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance adviser for mid-market businesses in India: we position the raise (growth equity, structured debt or private credit, mezzanine, a strategic investor round or a family-office placement), build the pitch deck, financial model and data room, and introduce you to a mapped list of suitable investors from 5,000+ relationships. Speak to a partner on +971 52 345 1119 or contact@matchpoint-partners.com.

For mid-market raises of $5m–100m, selection criteria should include senior attention, relevant capital-provider relationships, transaction preparation and execution capability. Matchpoint Partners advises companies and funds in India on equity, debt, mezzanine and fund placement, with a partner leading every mandate and access to a network of 5,000+ investor, family-office and lender relationships.

Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.

It depends on your cash flows, appetite for dilution and use of funds. Cash-generative businesses with assets or contracted revenue often suit structured debt or private credit; high-growth businesses usually suit equity; many raises blend the two. Matchpoint models both routes and recommends the mix before you go to market.
