The fund is now targeting first close as its next milestone, already backed by strong soft commitments. Its debut INR 200 Cr Category II AIF aims to back businesses around Inclusion, Sustainability and Impact with an average ticket size of INR 4 to 5 Cr going upto INR 10 Cr.

Leveraging SCNL's unmatched presence across 550+ districts, SGAL-Scheme 1 offers superior portfolio sourcing through grassroots-level vetting of high-potential businesses. The fund's innovative quasiequity/debt instruments perfectly balance downside protection with equity upside potential.

This initiative not only reflects our commitment to fostering inclusive and sustainable growth, but also creates an opportunity for our talented team to step into larger leadership roles. I look forward to seeing how they evolve, take ownership, and contribute to building a differentiated investment platform that delivers both strong financial returns and meaningful impact."

At its core, the strategy is designed to empower women-led and women-focused businesses, enabling greater financial inclusion and unlocking opportunities at the last mile. By bridging the gap between traditional debt and equity, we aim to provide flexible, growth-oriented capital to enterprises that are often underserved.
