Here we go again! I guess it’s that time of the year when everyone takes a look back to see what lies ahead. It was certainly an Pranav Parikh
interesting year with significant volatility that increased over the course of the year. We expect continued volatility this year with Investment Committee
macro global trends that are showing weakening across economies as well as the upcoming central elections in India. Hemant Daga
For our part, we continue to see this volatile markets as an opportunity to selectively add to the portfolio. As mentioned in last Nalin Moniz
month’s letter, we invested in yet another market leader in the consumer space in this country - Sapphire Foods. There are strong
macro tailwinds for the QSR (quick service restaurants) space in India with the onset of urbanization and increasing preference for
quick, reliable and high-quality food. Sapphire is one of the largest food platforms in India. It is one of two major franchisees of KFC NAV
and Pizza Hut in India, and operates over 300 stores in India. KFC and Pizza Hut are globally iconic brands with ~20,000 and
INR 10.492
~16,000 stores across the globe. As a large franchisee of global leading brands such as KFC and Pizza Hut in India and a great
team in place to execute, this investment in Sapphire Foods is consistent with our thesis to partner with structurally high growth
businesses led by strong management teams. With strong tailwinds driven by home delivery through aggregators and its own rapid Fund Facts
expansion plans across its area of service, we are excited to work with the team at Sapphire to help grow its business over the next
few years. We expect the company will be in a position to go public in the next 12-18 months. Apart from such private deals, we have Fund Size INR 1,000Cr, with INR 500Cr

Opportunities Fund – Series II

.
Stock Rationale
National Stock Exchange of India Limited (“NSE”)
NSE is the largest stock exchange in the country, offering coverage of the Indian capital
markets across asset classes including equity, fixed income and derivative securities. It has
a leading market share by total turnover in equity cash trading (~86%), and in equity
derivatives trading (~94%) segments. NSE has a fully-integrated business model
comprising exchange listings, trading services, clearing and settlement services, indices,
market data feeds, technology solutions and financial education offerings.
We expect NSE to refile for IPO shortly after resolution of a case with SEBI and would put a
good probability of IPO this financial year.
The fund purchased equity shares worth INR 30 Cr. We will continue to add
opportunistically to this position.
.
Sapphire Foods India Private Limited (“Sapphire”)
Sapphire is one of the largest food platforms in India with 300 stores across Pizza
Hut and KFC in India; it also has Pizza Hut and Taco Bell stores in Sri Lanka and
Maldives. It is one of two exclusive master franchisees of Yum Brands in India. It
was created through consolidation of a number of franchisees by a consortium of
marquee PE investors. A strong professional management team with high quality
experience has been put in place. We expect the company to deliver high growth
driven by structural growth drivers of urbanization and shift towards organized
food services chains, backed by strong management capability and iconic brand
stature of KFC and Pizza Hut.
This is a pre-IPO investment, and the fund currently holds INR 45.75 Cr worth of
equity-linked securities.
