Avendus Capital Private Limited

Avendus Capital Private Limited is an Indian financial services firm headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra that provides investment banking, credit solutions, wealth management, and alternative asset management services to corporations, financial sponsors, and high-net-worth individuals across India, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The firm has been an active adviser on Indian merger-and-acquisition, private-equity, and capital-markets transactions, particularly in technology, consumer, financial services, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

The company was founded in 1999 by Ranu Vohra, Gaurav Deepak, and Kaushal Aggarwal as a corporate finance and merger-and-acquisition advisory firm. Over the following two decades Avendus expanded into a full-service financial services platform organised around investment banking, structured credit and private credit, wealth management, and asset management. In 2015 the United States private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts acquired a majority stake in Avendus, providing growth capital and supporting product expansion. Avendus Wealth Management acquired Ocean Dial Asset Management in 2018, and the firm has continued to expand its alternatives and credit franchises.
