India Sees Growth in Private Credit and Offshore Investments in AI Startups

Indian private credit is expanding rapidly, driven by its flexibility and higher yields compared to traditional bank loans, according to Moelis India CEO Manisha Girotra. Meanwhile, India's ultra-high-net-worth individuals are increasingly investing offshore in leading US-based artificial intelligence startups through pooled vehicles, seeking exposure to frontier AI firms that are typically inaccessible to individual investors. This trend reflects growing interest in AI infrastructure and diversified investment strategies amid rising global valuations.
