Times of India | 12 February 2026
Kolkata: Vivriti Asset Management, one of the country's leading mid-market private credit-focused asset management firms, has initiated discussions with a city-based QSR chain for investment. It is also in talks with a local FMCG and steel company for investment.
Vivriti has a total debt investment portfolio of Rs 10,000 crore. The average tenure of its investment is 3-3.5 years, with a lock-in of 18 months. Chief investment officer Soumendra Ghosh pointed out that Vivriti was planning to expand its footprint in the eastern region and expected Bengal and Odisha to make a meaningful contribution to its fresh commitments.
The AMC has so far invested in 115 companies across the country, but none from the eastern region. Ghosh added that Kolkata now accounts for 3% of the total funds raised, and it is hoping that in the next one year, the contribution would double to 6%. Kolkata is expected to account for the bulk of total commitments from the region, Ghosh said.
He went on to add that the firm would launch its fourth fund with a base size of Rs 3,000 crore and would have a green shoe option of another Rs 2,000 crore this year.
