AIF Industry and AI Seen as Key Drivers of India's Economic Growth, Says BCG Partner
India's Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) industry holds significant growth potential and is poised to play a key role in the country's economic expansion, according to Mayank Jha, Managing Director and Partner at Boston Consulting Group. Currently, alternative assets represent 6% of India's asset management sector, compared to 19% globally. Jha noted that AIF commitments stand at about ₹17.5 lakh crore, similar to the mutual fund industry's size nine years ago before rapid growth. He also highlighted artificial intelligence as a major opportunity for India and emphasized the need to attract substantial foreign investment to support long-term development goals.
