About the Fund
Edelweiss SME Growth Fund II provides growth equity to profitable Indian SMEs with ₹50–300 Crore in annual revenues. The fund targets specialty chemicals, auto ancillaries, pharma API manufacturers, and technical textiles — sectors with strong domestic demand tailwinds and clear export market potential. Portfolio companies receive not just capital but active operational value-add through Edelweiss Group's industrial network spanning corporate banking and institutional broking.
The exit strategy leverages India's vibrant SME capital markets — BSE SME and NSE Emerge platforms — which have seen 200+ successful SME IPOs over the past three years. The fund's origination network through Edelweiss Group's banking and wealth management arms generates proprietary deal flow from profitable, growth-stage SMEs that lack access to PE capital through conventional routes.
