Faering Capital

Co-founders Aditya Parekh and Sameer Shroff jointly lead the firm. They met in New York in 1999 and established Faering Capital a decade later. Investment decisions are made by the founding partners, who have worked together through three fund cycles and more than 30 investments.

Faering Capital operates with a focused network built over a 14-year track record in India. The firm sources primarily through founder and management-team relationships, sector ecosystems in financial services and consumer, and its reputation as an early institutional partner, often entering before IPO events.

The firm invests across growth equity, late-stage expansion, pre-IPO, and PIPE transactions. Its strategy targets companies that have established product-market fit and require growth capital to scale, particularly in regulated industries where early institutional backing can accelerate a path to public markets.

Faering Capital deploys capital exclusively through direct equity investments in portfolio companies. It does not operate a fund-of-funds program, make LP commitments to external managers, or run a public-markets strategy.

The firm typically leads or co-leads growth rounds and takes minority stakes with board representation. Its fundraising materials reference club deals with other institutional investors and family offices, but it does not publicly market a formal co-investment vehicle beyond its main fund series.

There is no public disclosure of a philanthropic foundation, real-asset arm, or adjacent credit vehicle. Faering Capital appears to operate a single strategy through sequential, closed-end private equity funds — currently Fund III.

Faering Capital has not published an exclusion list. Its portfolio concentrates heavily on financial services, healthcare, consumer, and technology. It has no disclosed investments in hard infrastructure, commodities, or heavy manufacturing, suggesting a deliberate focus on services and domestic consumption.
