'Drawing more domestic capital in AIFs a key focus'
Mint New Delhi
|April 17, 2026
The industry body for venture capital, Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), will focus on drawing more domestic institutional capital into alternative investment funds (AIFs), even as structural bottlenecks continue to slow participation.
Srini Srinivasan, the new chairperson of IVCA.
“Pension funds and insurance companies allocate very little to AIFs despite regulatory permission,” said Srini Srinivasan, the new chairperson of IVCA and managing director of Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Ltd, in an interview with Mint.
While policies allow these institutions to invest in AIFs, execution remains a challenge, he said.
