Vision and Mission

As we commemorate 75 years of India's sovereignty, the 'India Opportunity' narrative is echoing on the global stage. At IVCA, our vision is not only about fostering a vibrant investing ecosystem, but also pivoting towards the ideals of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India). This vision aligns with our goals to onshore the offshore initiatives and underscores the importance of creating domestic pools of capital. It is the robust contributions and unwavering support of diverse asset classes that are instrumental in catalysing India's ambitious objective to ascend as a USD 5 trillion economy by 2025 and bolster India's stature as an enticing destination for both global and domestic funds.

To actualize this vision, we have set tangible objectives. We aim to mobilize pools of capital, create a favourable regulatory environment, and drive positive change for the industry. This involves creation of dialogue platforms and opportunities for the Alternate Capital ecosystem which are focused on the promotion of best investment governance practices, research driven advocacy with regulators to provide inputs that enable a competitive policy environment, and networking opportunities between investors and high growth companies.

Investor protection and enablement of free and fair markets is core to the associations thought process and we strive to achieve the same via all activities and initiatives that we carry out.
