DMI Alternatives, an alternative asset management firm, has announced the closure of a $120 million raise for a corporate private credit fund focused on investing in performing and cash-flowing Indian companies.
The strategy will be led by Harein Uppal, who brings a wealth of international experience in private credit investing.
With this strategy, DMI Alternatives aims to provide bespoke financing solutions tailored to Indian companies well-positioned for sustainable growth. The fund maintains a focus on Healthcare, Technology, Business Services, Manufacturing, and Financial Services.
Harein Uppal, Head of Private Credit Investments at DMI Alternatives, said, “India’s corporate credit markets represent a significant opportunity to back high-quality companies that will shape the country’s future. Traditional banking and capital markets alone cannot meet the ambitions of today’s companies, which are looking for flexible capital solutions. We want to back businesses with strong fundamentals and a clear growth runway—companies that can deliver both economic and social value. This fund is a step towards bridging that capital gap responsibly and strategically.”
Shivashish Chatterjee, Co-Founder, DMI Alternatives, said, “India’s mid-market continues to drive meaningful growth and innovation. With DMI Private Credit, our focus is to complement existing financing channels by providing flexible and responsible capital that helps businesses grow with stability. We see this as a long-term opportunity for investors to participate in India’s evolving enterprise landscape.”
Yuvraja C. Singh, Co-Founder, DMI Alternatives, said, “Our aim is to partner with strong Indian enterprises that are scaling sustainably and need flexible capital to do it. We see a long runway for private credit in India, and this strategy positions us to support companies building long-term value and resilience.”
DMI Alternatives is an alternative asset management firm headquartered in New Delhi, managing investments across three core strategies: Real Estate (OKAS), Venture Capital (DMI Sparkle Fund) and Private Credit.
