Overview
anAmaya Capital LLP is an Ahmedabad-based family office founded in June 2015 by the Gandhi family; its website says it is run by Prarthana Gandhi, whose father Mukesh Gandhi is a co-founder and director of finance at the non-banking financial company MAS Financial Services Ltd. It started with the aim of making angel and seed investments in healthcare startups and in 2019 reported a corpus that had grown from $1 million to $3 million, entirely family wealth. Its first seed investment was Rich Nutrionwala, an Ahmedabad packaged vegetarian diet-food company, followed in July 2017 by the Hyderabad ambulance-hailing platform Ambee alongside Uber and other investors. In 2019 it said it had shifted towards limited-partner commitments to Indian private equity and real estate funds; its portfolio page lists IIFL, Paragon Partners, Avendus and Multiples private equity funds, Motilal Oswal real estate funds, an equity stake in Marcellus Investment Managers and debt instruments of listed finance companies.
